Abstract

Studies were conducted to monitor the terminal residues in unpolished, poished and parboiled rice. Twenty rice samples were collected from different market of districts Muzaffarpur and Samastipur, Bihar during 2002. Each sample was tested in terms of unpolished, polished and parboiled form, for the presence of pesticide residues. HCH, DDT and endosulfan residues were found present in the rice samples. However, residues of all the pesticide were below their MRLs. Results also revealed that the parboiling of rice helps in reducing the contamination of pesticide residues to a great extent.
