| Abstract | ||||
| The efficiencies of natural antioxidant solutions [Thyme (Thymus vulgaris), ginger ( Zingiber efficinale,L.) and rosemary ( Rosmarinus officiallis) ] as well as tap water in elimination of organochlorine and organophosphorus pesticides from naturally contaminated cereal ( wheat and corn) were examined. The results revealed the efficiency role of natural antioxidant solutions in elimination of pesticides under investigation. Washing by only tap water was less effective than the other solutions. The results also indicate that rosemary is the most effective in the elimination of pesticides followed by ginger and thyme solutions. The results also show that milling of corn and wheat to flour after soaking in ginger, rosemary anci thyme solutions and drying eliminated pesticides residues completely. | ||||
