Reports outline agricultural and food chemistry research from S.H. Jackson and colleagues.

According to recent research published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, "The focus of this research was to develop a model based solely on molecular descriptors capable of predicting fish bioconcentration factors (BCF). A fish BCF database was developed from high-quality, regulatory agency reviewed studies for pesticides based on the same laboratory protocol and the same fish species, Lepomis macrochirus."

"A commercially available software program was used to create a quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) from 93 BCF studies based on unique molecules. An additional 16 molecules were used to test the accuracy of QSAR model predictions …
