“…The effective decline of pesticide residues based on the level of heat treatments may be attributed to the increased volatilization and accelerated degradation of these compounds as a result of elevated temperature. These findings were consistent with those suggested by previous studies which indicated that organophosphorus pesticides in foods were effectively decreased by increasing temperature in heat treatments (27,28).…”

Background: Organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) have a wide application throughout the world and exert adverse effects on human health. Moreover, these chemical compounds are responsible for thousands of deaths per year worldwide. Kinetic and mathematical models could be used to optimize the application of pesticides on fruits and vegetables and monitor their residues. Objectives: The present study aimed to model the dissipation of diazinon and chlorpyrifos in different conditions, such as household conditions (e.g., storage at room and refrigerator temperatures, as well as cooking) and field condition for greenhouse tomatoes. Methods: A multi-residue analysis of diazinon, chlorpyrifos, and their oxon derivatives was established by gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The limit of quantification (LOQ), recovery, precision, linearity, and the limit of detection (LOD) were evaluated to ensure that the method was able to effectively determine the studied pesticides in the tomato samples. The linear and nonlinear kinetic models were presented for chlorpyrifos and diazinon residues in tomato using zero-order, first-order, and second-order equations. Results: Based on the best fitting models for diazinon in the case of laboratory treatment at the refrigerator, room, and boiling temperatures, the half-lives were calculated as 18.79 days, 11.41 days, and 45.39 min, respectively. The half-life of diazinon was lower than that of chlorpyrifos in both field and laboratory treatments. Conclusion: Modeling the removal of the pesticides indicated that the nonlinear first- and second-order models were the best fitted models for the dissipation of both pesticides in field and post-harvest conditions.

“…We should acknowledge that pesticide exposure have probably been overestimated as potential concentration or dilution effects during washing, cooking or peeling on pesticide residue levels were not accounted for 37 .Finally, for this study, follow-up duration was short and the number of cases limited, given a high estimated latency period for this type of disease.…”

“…The same conversion factors were used for both conventional and organic products. Cooking or peeling effects on pesticide residue levels were not accounted for as dilution factors are not available for all food/pesticide couples 37 . For each pesticide, the estimated daily intake (EDI) (in μg/kg of weight/day) under both lower-and upper-bound scenarios was calculated using methods recommended by EFSA and WHO 38,39 .…”

Background Some pesticides, used in large quantities in current agricultural practices all over Europe, are suspected of adverse effects on human reproductive health (breast and prostate cancers), through mechanisms of endocrine disruption and possible carcinogenic properties, as observed in agricultural settings. However, evidence on dietary pesticide exposure and breast cancer (BC) is lacking for the general population. We aimed to assess the associations between dietary exposure to pesticides and BC risk among postmenopausal women of the NutriNet-Santé cohort. Methods In 2014, participants completed a self-administered semi-quantitative food-frequency questionnaire distinguishing conventional and organic foods. Exposures to 25 active substances used in EU plant-protection products were estimated using a pesticide-residue database accounting for farming practices, from Chemisches und Veterinäruntersuchungsamt Stuttgart, Germany. Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF), adapted for data with excess zeros, was used to establish exposure profiles. The four extracted NMF components’ quintiles were introduced into Cox models estimating hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI), adjusted for known confounding factors. Results A total of 13 149 postmenopausal women were included in the analysis (169 BC cases, median follow-up = 4.83 years). Negative associations between Component 3, reflecting low exposure to synthetic pesticides, and postmenopausal BC risk were found [HRQ5 = 0.57; 95% CI (0.34; 0.93), p-trend = 0.006]. Positive association between Component 1 score (highly correlated to chlorpyrifos, imazalil, malathion, thiabendazole) and postmenopausal BC risk was found specifically among overweight and obese women [HRQ5 = 4.13; 95% CI (1.50; 11.44), p-trend = 0.006]. No associations were detected for the other components. Conclusion These associations suggest a potential role of dietary pesticide exposure on BC risk. Further research is needed to investigate the mechanisms and confirm these results in other populations.

Citrus green and blue moulds cause postharvest losses worldwide. Therefore, the potential of preharvest foliar application of salicylic acid (SA) and methyl Jasmonate (MeJ) was investigated to control infection of Penicillium spp. An aqueous solution containing different concentrations of SA (3, 6, 9 mM) or MeJ (3, 4, 5 mM) and ‘Tween 80’ (0.05%) as a surfactant were sprayed onto whole trees seven days before harvest. Among the treatments, the pre-harvest spray of SA (9 mM or MeJ 5 mM) showed good efficacy reducing colony growth, wound rotting (rotting of peel around the wound and spore mass density of Penicillium spp. when compared with control. A pre-harvest spray of SA (9 mM) reduced colony growth by 71.02% and 68.69% on fruit inoculated with P. digitatum and P. italicum, respectively. The activity of fruit softening enzymes markedly increased following fungal infection. The decay in the fruit was found to be associated with the upregulation of activities of exopolygalacturonase (exo-PG), endopolygalacturonase (endo-PG) and Endo-1,4-ß-D-glucanase (e-gase). However, in un-inoculated fruit, negligible enzyme activity was observed. Contrarily the SA-treated fruit showed less activity of exo-PG, endo-PG and e-gase enzymes. These findings clued to develop natural control of Penicillium spp through use of organic elicitors in sweet orange fruit.
