Pesticide and plasticizer residues in biological citrus
Contamination of organophosphorus and organochlorine pesticides, phosphorated plasticizers, chloroparaffins and phthalate, adipate and sebacate ester in citrus essential oils produced in Sicily in the crop years 2003–2004 was studied by HRGC in connection with FPD, ECD and MS detectors.

Pesticide residues survey in citrus fruits - PubMed
The use of pesticides is widespread in citrus fruits production for pre- and post-harvest protection and many chemical substances may be applied in order to control undesirable moulds or insects. A survey was carried out to evaluate levels of pesticide residues in citrus fruits. Two multiresidue ana
Pesticide and plasticizer residues in citrus essential oils
Organophosphorus and organochlorine pesticides, phosphorated plasticizers and chloroparaffins contamination were investigated by HRGC with FPD and ECD detectors in 120 citrus essential oils produced in Italy and in 70 from other countries in the crop year 2006-2007.
- Are pesticide residues in citrus a health risk?
- Pesticide residues in citrus may cause health risks in related juice products, and bring much uncertainty during the processing procedures. In this study, based on the dispersive solid-phase extraction (d-SPE) and UPLC–MS/MS, the residual levels of ten analytes in citrus and its processed products were monitored.
- Do citrus processing procedures affect pesticide residues?
- The dietary risk assessment and the establishment of MRLs in citrus juice are also worth studying. However, the effects of citrus processing procedures on the pesticide residues, as well as the dietary risk assessment of citrus juice, have been rarely studied.
- Does citrus juice contain pesticides?
- The PFs of citrus were obtained by monitoring the residue of pesticides. More than 37.6 % of pesticide residues in sterilized juice were dissipated. Some pesticides exhibited enrichment effects in concentration juice. Dietary risks of pesticides in citrus juice were low to human health.
- How long do pesticides last in citrus?
- In this study, based on the dispersive solid-phase extraction (d-SPE) and UPLC–MS/MS, the residual levels of ten analytes in citrus and its processed products were monitored. The results showed that dissipation of the pesticides followed the first-order kinetics and the half-lives in citrus varied greatly, ranging from 6.36 to 63.0 days.
- Do pesticide residues vary during food processing?
- Although some literatures have reported the dissipation and residues levels as well as the dietary exposure risks of pesticides in citrus (Dong et al., 2018; Wang et al., 2018), few studies paid attention to the variation trends of pesticide residues during the food processing and in the final citrus products.
- Does fruit processing affect pesticide residues?
- However, during the fruit processing, fruit products may not only maintain or enhance their bioactive and nutritional components, but also alter the levels of pesticide residues in the processed products.
