Food chemistry, better known as bromatology, is the branch of chemistry that deals with the study of foods and, in particular, with aspects relating to the qualitative and quantitative characterization of foods and their numerous biochemical transformations, as well as conservation methods of food. The roots of modern food chemistry date back to the early 1800s, when many chemists began to study foods and isolate their main components. The first pioneers were Carl Wilhelm Scheele, who isolated malic acid from apples in 1785, and Sir Humphry Davy who published the first book on agricultural and food chemistry in 1813. Currently, on the contrary, food chemistry is gaining increasing attention with respect to the problem of chemical and biological contamination, with the study of new analytical and methodical strategies aimed at contrasting or reducing the risks associated with contaminating exposures. To ensure the availability, safety and healthiness of plant production, man has developed products capable of providing nourishment to crops and products, safeguarding not only his own health, but also that of food. Finally, it must be emphasized that the most real food risk that can be run is not, as is commonly believed, the presence of chemical residues, but intoxication due to microbiological contamination. Therefore, crop protection products play a fundamental role,
