Assessment of pesticide residues in citrus fruit on the Czech market

Original language description

When assessing citrus fruit quality, besides of natural health promoting compounds, attention has to be also paid to residues of chemicals used to protect fruits against various pests. The set of 49 samples of different types of citrus fruits collected at the Czech market were analysed for residues of 460 pesticides using LC-MS and GC-MS methods. While no residues were detected in citruses from organic farming, altogether 38 various pesticide residues were detected in conventional production samples. Buprofezin in two grapefruit samples and fenbutatin oxide in one tangerines sample exceeded maximum residue limits (MRLs). Depending on pesticide group, 10 – 70% of residues were found in pulp, this means that their processing factors calculated for peeling are in the range of 0.02 – 0.76. In case of a beverage prepared from unpeeled lemon slices, the transfer of residues from contaminated fruit into infusion was, depending on the beverage type and processing conditions, in the range of 8 – 61 %.
