Scanning report Year 1 on reducing pesticide residues in Danish fruit

Pesticide residues in fruit is a topic of concern to the public, media and hence politicians in Denmark. Aarhus University, Department of Food Science has since 2008 developed research projects that aimed at understanding and reducing pesticide residues in Danish fruit. In the beginning research was focused on understanding when and which compounds were more likely to leave residues. From 2010 and onwards experiments aimed at eliminating residues have been conducted in the research orchard of the Department of Food Science.
