Abstract: The sensitivity and the limit of detection(LOD) of phytoesterase on organophosphate pesticides were studied in this paper. The results showed that phytoesterase is not only very sensitive to organophosphate pesticides but also its LOD is much less than the maximum residue limits (MRL) as nation all specified. So, we concluded that the phytoesterase obtained can be used for the rapid detection of pesticides residues.

Key words: lphytoesterase, organophosphate pesticides, sensitivity, limit of detection(LOD), maximum residue limits (MRL)
