Assessing the Relationship between Color Values (L*, a* and b*) and Paraoxon-Ethyl Pesticide Residue in Agricultural Products with Acetylcholinesterase
Main Article Content
Abstract
Organophosphate are widespread useful in agriculture due to highly effective for the protection / eradication of insects and pests. Thailand is stepping into an aging society in 2021, therefore the healthier food such as fruit and vegetable are influence of living life. However, there are a lot of problems from the use of chemicals in the cultivation process, that are chemical residues in products affected too harmful to consumers. The objective of our research study to find optimize condition and efficiency of Acetylcholinesterase (ACHE) and Ellman’s reagent to check the quantity of Paraoxon Ethyl in the organophosphate group residues in crops. With the mechanism of color change from yellow to transparent color, that is affected due to the quantity of Paraoxon Ethyl at the concentration of 0.2, 0.6 and 1 ppm respectively. The CIE L * a * b * color system is used to process color changes due to the small changes our eyes can't see, that found the correlations between b * values shown negative values. The result shown the values of color tends to approach the value of blue due to the increased concentration of Paraoxon Ethyl in the reference solution. Therefore, b * value can be used to analyze Paraoxon Ethyl at the concentration of 0.2, 0.6 and 1 ppm in the samples, that is expressed as a linear equation with a value of 0.97, 0.9453, and 0.972 respectively. This study is a preliminary evaluation to add a useful alternative to the color analyzer L * a * and b * to represent the analysis of pesticides in vegetables/fruits high accuracy and fast.
