The impact of apple preparation on the content of chlorpyrifos pesticide residues in the final products

Abstract The apples of Red Delicious are round fruits that have red colour when ripe according to which they named. They can be eaten fresh, but also processed into a variety products including apple juice. In order grow or obtain better yield good quality apples, pesticides usually used protect trees, adversely affect human health, therefore, some precautions should taken these chemicals as food contact materials. This study summarizes the presence chlorpyrifos pesticide residues in prepared by different methods mechanical treatments, washed, peeled well heat treatment an For this purpose, QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged and Safe) method was for residue extraction samples after preparation, their analyses were performed liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). concentration range less than 0.0005 mg.kg −1 0.00348 . provides conclusion all safe consumption while peeling most efficient reduction content final products.
