Object . Analysis of pesticide regulations documents and scientific works regarding processed agricultural products. Results. The principles to establish maximum residue levels (MRLs) for active ingredients of pesticides in raw agricultural commodities (RACs) and processed products are currently available in the European Union and Ukraine and are provided by the WHO Commission “Codex Alimentarius” and the Joint FAO/WHO Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR) were reviewed. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) project with the overall objective is to develop a database of validated processing factors based on the residue definitions for enforcement, which is compatible with the EFSA food classification and description system was outlined. The European Association of Plant Producers of the EU Vegetable Oil and Proteinmeal Industry (FEDIOL) position on pesticide MRLs in vegetable oils and fats were described. This concept has identified two main elements allowing to give an indication of the fat solubility of an substances. In particular, variants of interpretation of the octanol/water partition coefficient (log Pow) were analyzed. It can be used to predict whether the substance is fat - or water-soluble and to provides an estimate of the tendency of a active ingredients of pesticides to bioaccumulate in fat. In the case of vegetable oils, MRLs can be approximated based on the physico/chemical properties of the pesticides and on the oil content of the raw agricultural commodities (theoretical processing factors from oilseeds seed to oil). Conclusions. The review determines the necessity of improve Ukrainian pesticides regulation procedure and the development of a risk-oriented approach to the selection of priority indicators for the set of MRLs of pesticides in agricultural processed products. Key Words: pesticides, residues, processed products, oilseeds.
Abstract. Aim. Substantiation of priority indicators for establishing the maximum permissible levels (MPL) for active substances of pesticides in vegetable oils in accordance with modern international requirements and taking into account the peculiarities of their application in agriculture of Ukraine. Results. Based on the analysis of international and existing in Ukraine approaches to the development of MPL for pesticides in processed agricultural raw materials, criteria for assessing the need for research to determine and regulate the residual amounts of active substances of PPP in vegetable oils were suggested. The following main indicators that must be taken into account when normalizing pesticides in oils are substantiated: physicochemical and toxic properties of the active substance, the predicted level of its residual amounts in agricultural raw materials, the impact of technological processing on pesticide content. The principles of calculation of MPL for pesticides in oils of vegetable origin are given based on theoretical processing factors based on the FEDIOL concept, with the values of the partition coefficient between n-octanol and water and oil content in agricultural raw materials (seeds or grains of oilseeds) taken into account. The proposed concept is a basic one and provides for its further refinement and adjustment, in particular in accordance with the results of further studies on the regulation of plant protection products, which are currently relevant in the European Union. Conclusions. Methodological approaches to the establishment of MPLs for pesticides in vegetable oils need to be improved taking into account the international provisions and recommendations, set out in the article, in order to harmonize them and optimize the procedure for exporting plant products containing pesticide residues and introduction into the pesticide regulation system in Ukraine. Key Words: pesticides, residual quantities, norm setting, processed products, oilseeds.

ABSTRACT. Objectives. THygienic evaluation of residual spirodiclofen and regulation of the use of spirodiclofen-based product Envidor SC 240 for fruit and vegetable crops in the agro-industrial sector and private households of Ukraine. Methods. Study of changes in residual spirodiclofen in apples, pears, grapes, cucumbers and eggplants overtime was performed in different agroclimatic zones of Ukraine during field experiments. Consumption rates of spirodiclofen were 120 g/ha as two applications, and 144 g/ha as 3 applications in the agro-industrial sector, and 1.2 g/0.01 g as two applications at private households. Residual spirodiclofen in the test samples of agricultural products was measured using chemical analytical methods of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Results. Results of conducted studies suggest a moderate reduction in the residual amounts of the active ingredient in fruit crops and the rapid one in vegetable crops. It was found that during harvesting, spirodiclofen content in apples and pears did not exceed MAL (maximum allowable limit); spirodiclofen was not detectable in grapes, eggplants and cucumbers. Calculation of half-lives of the test substance in the treated plants during vegetation was performed. Theoretically, the possible intake of spirodiclofen in an adult and a child under the age of 6 years with fruit, vegetable crops, and grapes was calculated. The obtained data were evaluated by the level of acceptable daily intake (ADI) of the substance in the human body. Conclusion. As per limiting toxicity parameters under conditions of the acute experiment, spirodiclofen and spirodiclofen-based product belong to hazard class 2 pesticides. By a degradation value in plants, spirodiclofen belongs to hazard class 1–4 pesticides. Approved MALs of safe content of the substance under experiment in fruit and vegetable crops, grapes and safety interval before harvesting provide for safe use of spirodiclofen-based insecticide-acaricide. Key Words: spirodiclofen, residual amounts of pesticides, field experiments.
