Remarks:

The results of the analysis refer to the tested sample according to orders.
According to the chemical testing results the submitted sample was not marketable.

The determined pesticide residue Anthraquinone in the amount of 0.055 mg/kg exceeds the maximum residue level (MRL) of
0.02 mg/kg according to the Commission Regulation (EC) 396/2005, also taking an analytical measurement uncertainty of +/- 50 %
(SANTE 11312/2021) into consideration.
It should be verified where the residues come from and we recommend further analysis.

The content of volatile oil in the amount 2.0 ml/100 g does not correspond to the ESA minimum requirements according to “Quality
Minima Document “, ESA of minimum 4.0 ml/100g.
