Abstract:

To evaluate the potential health risks posed by pesticide residues in Vitis vinifera cv. Thompson Seedless and its dried products (raisin) from Xinjiang of China, a total of 120 samples of grape and raisin were collected from the major producing areas of Xinjiang for pesticide residue detection. Dietary intake risk assessment and ranking were conducted for the detected pesticides, and recommended maximum residue limits (MRLs) were put forward for those pesticides with detectable residues but without established national MRLs. The results showed that 25 and 13 types of pesticides were detected in the tested grape and raisin samples, respectively, with all residue levels complying with the national MRLs standards. Both acute and chronic dietary intake risks of pesticide residues from the tested grape and raisin samples fell within the acceptable range. Risk ranking indicated that the pesticides with relatively high risk levels in grape samples were chlorpyrifos, abamectin and deltamethrin. To improve the quality and safety of Vitis vinifera cv. Thompson Seedless and its dried products, it is recommended that the MRLs for pyridaben in grape, and fenpropathrin, carbendazim and chlorfenapyr in raisin should be prioritized, with the proposed limits set at 2, 23, 22 and 22 mg·kg-1, respectively.
