Many chemicals are used to protect fruit and vegetable products, both imported and cultivated in our country; which are rich in vitamins and minerals, from harmful organisms such as disease-causing insects, plant pathogens, weeds, molluscs and the most important of these are pesticides. Many of the pesticides can also damage living things outside the target organism. Therefore, pesticides can affect human health both directly and indirectly, can lead to various diseases and even be lethal. For these reasons, it is very important to carry out Pesticide Analysis in fruit and vegetable products.

Apart from that, heavy metals directly affecting the health of the fruits and vegetable products affecting human health negatively, therefore, chemical analysis of these products becomes inevitable.

Fruit and vegetable are products that grow in the soil and must be cleaned well and consumed. In this sense, microbiological aspects should be checked with the tests to be made whether there is a situation that will affect human health.
