Abstract

Thirty genotypes of sesame seeds collected from different geographical regions of India were analyzed for organochlorine pesticides viz HCHs, DDTs and endosulfan. The average recovery values of o,p-DDT, p,p-DDT, α-HCH, β-HCH, endosulfan I, endosulfan II fortified with 1.0 and 2.0 μg g−1 were above 85%. The residue studies indicated that DDT, HCH and endosulfan metabolites were found below the detectable limit in all sesame samples.
