NATIONAL REGISTRATION AUTHORITY FOR AGRICULTURAL AND VETERINARY CHEMICALS MRL Standard Maximum residue limits in food and animal feedstuff December 2001 Residue definition Maximum residue limits (MRLs) for a commodity are set for residues measured by a valid method of analysis. This method may measure the chemical or a derivative of the chemical and may include metabolites originating from the parent compound or other chemicals. In some cases, the nominal concentration of the parent compound is calculated from the measured concentration of a metabolite, but in other cases a derivative or metabolite is used as a measure of the residue. The residue to which the MRL applies is given for each chemical compound. Residue definitions for compounds which no longer have entries in Tables 1, 4 or 5 have been retained in Table 3 for reference as analyses may still be required for compounds whose use is no longer permitted.

Book Profile . . . The book of Esther was recorded in Scripture to show how the Jewish people were protected and preserved from annihilation by the gracious hand of God—the sovereign controller of mankind’s history. The author’s identity is unknown, but the knowledge of Persian customs and etiquettes, and the familiarity of the palace and details of the king’s reign, indicate that the a
