Abstract - Identification of a nitrogenous heterocyclic compound responsible for a potato-like off-flavour in Gruyère de Comté
Organochlorinated being prohibited in Agriculture, the authors were looking for the rate of polluted milk with these pesticides in Haute-Vienne.
In Spring 1974, 12 p. 100 of 300 samples analysed contained more pesticides than tolerated by O.M.S. norms, with a majority of BHC isomers (11,3 p. 100)


Key words: cow-milk / organochlorinated pesticides
