METHOD FOR MEASURING PESTICIDE RESIDUE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for measuring pesticide residues by which an amount of a comprehensive enzyme inhibition of a specimen in which two or more kinds of pesticides remain by pesticides can be known and the maximum residual concentration of each the pesticide into the specimen can be known by specifying pesticides naturally having a possibility of remaining in the specimen and reading out and calculating a previously input constant (inhibition constant) denoting a degree of the enzyme inhibition of the single body of the pesticide. SOLUTION: This method for measuring the pesticide residues allows measuring cholinesterase activities by detecting hydrogen peroxide generated by conjugating cholinesterase and comprises estimating the risk of pollution by the pesticide residues by calculating the residual concentration of each the pesticide having a possibility of being included at the maximum from a measured value obtained by measuring deterioration of the cholinesterase activities in a sample containing a plurality of the known pesticides and previously input cholinesterase inhibition activity of each the pesticide and comparing the concentration with a reference value of the residue of each the pesticide.
