“…The results obtained for captan and fludioxonil were in accordance with those previously published on these fungicides, showing that apples subjected to peeling had significantly lower residue levels compared to unpeeled apples. 7,26 No residues of boscalid, dithiocarbamates, dodine or fluopyram were found in peeled apples, whereas, for captan and flonicamid, only their metabolites were quantified and found to be lower than those in unpeeled apples. This was also the case for the levels of cyprodinil, dithianon and fludioxonil (Table 1).…”

“…30 More generally, several studies indicate that most household and industrial processes and practices (washing, peeling) reduce residual pesticide levels, especially pyrethroid insecticides. [7][8][9][10]31 Washing with tap water reduces residue levels on the peel by 35-38%, and peeling reduces them by 80%, especially for fungicide residues (cyprodinil, difenoconazole, fluopyram, tebuconazole and fludioxonil). 7 Therefore, it appears that washing apples (temperature, duration and type of washing including the addition of surfactants agents) could reduce residual levels of many ASs.…”

“…According to several studies, washing can reduce the residual levels of certain pesticides prior to consumption. [7][8][9] Peeling is a similarly effective option because peeled apples may contain fewer pesticide residues. 7,9,10 However, some 'systemic' pesticides (i.e.…”

BACKGROUND Studies have shown that the consumption of apples has a beneficial effect on cardiovascular diseases and some cancers, largely as a result of their micronutrient and phytoconstituent contents. Apple peel not only contains more polyphenols than the flesh, but also is likely to contain pesticide residues. The present study aimed to compare the contents of certain micronutrients and residual pesticide levels in peeled and unpeeled apples. RESULTS Peeled apples contained fewer pesticide residues at lower concentrations than unpeeled apples. However, whether samples were peeled or not, the exposure values for pesticide residues in apples never exceeded the acceptable daily intake (ADI), but ranged between 0.04% and 2.10% of the ADI in adults for food intake estimated at the 95th percentile (277 g per person per day). Determination of polyphenol, fibre, magnesium and vitamin C levels showed that the nutritional differences observed between peeled and unpeeled apples were marginal. CONCLUSION The consumption of apples, such as the apples tested in the present study, results in an exposure to pesticides that is low for unpeeled apples, and lower for peeled apples. Moreover, there was no significant loss of nutritional value from eating peeled apples based on the nutrients investigated. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

“…17 In addition, information about the fate of pesticides in agriculture can further support government decisions, such as appropriate PHI for ensuring that pesticide concentration remains below the MRL over time. 18 Most of the previous studies have focused on pesticide analysis [19][20][21] and removal 22,23 in apple fruits bought from the local market, as well as on pesticide application methods [24][25][26] in apple pest and disease control. Nevertheless, the dynamic behaviour of pesticides in the whole apple orchard system has rarely been reported to date.…”

BACKGROUND Limited understanding of the fate of pesticides in apple orchards may lead to recurring pests or pose risks to food safety. In this study, through a field experiment conducted in an apple orchard, a dynamic plant uptake model, coupled with a soil water model, was developed to simulate measured pesticide concentrations in soil and different plant compartments. RESULTS Results showed that the overall model could adequately describe the data set of four pesticides in the apple orchard. An estimated 15%–24.7% of applied pesticides were deposited on leaves and 0.37%–0.58% on fruits. Decreasing pesticide concentrations in fruits were observed after pesticide application, with 9.6%–64.8% of this decrease explained by biodegradation, 29.8%–75.8% by fruit growth dilution and 11.3%–47.6% by wash‐off. Furthermore, a first estimation of dietary risks indicated that ingestion of the apples may not represent an acute or chronic risk to human health. CONCLUSION The dynamic plant uptake model, coupled with the tipping buckets soil water model, could successfully be fitted to describe to the data set for the fate of four pesticides applied in an apple orchard. The contribution of different pathways to pesticide concentration was highly influenced by precipitation, fruit growth dilution and the characteristics of different pesticides. This model can improve our understanding of pesticide fate in apple orchards and has great potential for supporting food safety assessment and decision‐making to minimize impacts arising from pesticide applications. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.
