Organochlorine, Organophosphorus and Synthetic Pyrethroid Pesticides Affecting Amino Acids in Cotton Seeds and Wheat Grain during Storage

This paper presents results of the effects of studied pesticides on amino acids in cotton seeds
and wheat grains stored at the room temperature (30 ± 3°C) after pesticide treatment for one month. Each sample was analyzed in triplicate along with a control sample. The influence on amino acids, was found to be variable and significant. The analytical data, obtained by employing amino acid analyzer, showed significant quantitative variations in amino acids of both the food commodities.
