Dear Sefood Commnunity:
I want to know about natural sources of malachite green, if they exist.
The point is that some samples taken from St. Peter fish ponds and aquacultured shrimp have 2 ppb of malachite green, this levels reached the MRL for this residue.
I also took samples in the river, before the ponds and after the ponds, but haven't gotten the results.
On the other hand apparently agrochemicals used in different crops such as rice have in their formulation malachite green.
I hope your prompt support
Byron
