A Toxicological Analysis of Residue of Pesticide Sprayed on Ladyâ??s Finger before & after washing with â??Vishaghna Dravyasâ? (Antitoxic Fluids)

In the present research effort is made to make a “difference”. Analysis is done by sophisticated chromatography techniques to find out whether, “Rock Salt solution” very common ingredient for Indian recipes or “vinegar water” as both substances are known for their antitoxin properties and therefore reduces pesticide residue to its maximum from ladies finger, after soaking it for 2-4 hrs rendering it safe for consumption. Qualitative analysis of malathion was done by HPLC method the retention time of malathion was found to be 2.825±0.3, and in given sample the retention time in water (2.072) and NS (2.559) was found similar to malathion (2.825) retention time, which confirm the presence of malathion in given water and NS sample
