“…The compounds investigated are mostly used on peach orchards in many parts of the world as recommended crop protection products. Researchers from different parts of the world have reported residues of the above-mentioned pesticides in peach samples (Zioris et al, 2009). Zioris et al (2009) reported 44.2% contamination of the analysed peach samples with chlorpyrifos at an average concentration of 0.036 mg/kg and 22.1% contamination with captan at an average concentration of 0.09 mg/kg, in Northern Greece.…”

| Peaches, similar to many other fruits and vegetables, are treated with different pesticides at various stages of their growth and development, under conventional agricultural practices especially in developing countries. Pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables have achieved considerable attention due to the unempirical utilization of pesticides. Fruits and their products can serve as potential sources of toxic constituents such as pesticide residues, as they are often consumed unprocessed. This study was designed to assess the pesticide contamination level in different varieties of peach collected from the Swat and Peshawar districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The analytical method was optimized for a total of nine different pesticides (Atrazine, parathion-methyl, chlorpyrifos, captan, α-endosulfan, dieldrin, β-endosulfan, endosulfan sulfate, and α-cypermethrin) of various chemical classes, using Agilent's Intuvo-9000 GC-µECD system. A total of thirteen peach samples, ten from fruit orchards and three from fruit markets, belonging to five different varieties were collected and analysed. 38% of the samples were found to be non-compliant to EU-MRL for chlorpyrifos, 8% for atrazine and parathion-methyl, whereas no non-compliance was observed for FAO/codex maximum residue limits (MRLs). The designed method for the multi-class pesticide residues was standardized for peaches via GC-µECD. Based on the results of the present study, it is the need of time to conduct more research in this field; disseminate results, and develop stringent policies to screen the use of pesticides sustainably for the benefit of the environment and mankind.

The national infrastructure FoodOmicsGR_RI coordinates research efforts from eight Greek Universities and Research Centers in a network aiming to support research and development (R&D) in the agri-food sector. The goals of FoodOmicsGR_RI are the comprehensive in-depth characterization of foods using cutting-edge omics technologies and the support of dietary/nutrition studies. The network combines strong omics expertise with expert field/application scientists (food/nutrition sciences, plant protection/plant growth, animal husbandry, apiculture and 10 other fields). Human resources involve more than 60 staff scientists and more than 30 recruits. State-of-the-art technologies and instrumentation is available for the comprehensive mapping of the food composition and available genetic resources, the assessment of the distinct value of foods, and the effect of nutritional intervention on the metabolic profile of biological samples of consumers and animal models. The consortium has the know-how and expertise that covers the breadth of the Greek agri-food sector. Metabolomics teams have developed and implemented a variety of methods for profiling and quantitative analysis. The implementation plan includes the following research axes: development of a detailed database of Greek food constituents; exploitation of “omics” technologies to assess domestic agricultural biodiversity aiding authenticity-traceability control/certification of geographical/genetic origin; highlighting unique characteristics of Greek products with an emphasis on quality, sustainability and food safety; assessment of diet’s effect on health and well-being; creating added value from agri-food waste. FoodOmicsGR_RI develops new tools to evaluate the nutritional value of Greek foods, study the role of traditional foods and Greek functional foods in the prevention of chronic diseases and support health claims of Greek traditional products. FoodOmicsGR_RI provides access to state-of-the-art facilities, unique, well-characterised sample sets, obtained from precision/experimental farming/breeding (milk, honey, meat, olive oil and so forth) along with more than 20 complementary scientific disciplines. FoodOmicsGR_RI is open for collaboration with national and international stakeholders.

“…Fruit is important in the human diet and contains many nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals. Cherries, peaches, and kiwifruit are some of the most frequently consumed fruits and have remarkably high vitamin C, phenolic, anthocyanin, and flavonol contents. − The production and consumption of cherries, peaches, and kiwifruit in China have increased in recent years. − However, pesticides are commonly used during production of these fruits to control phytophages or pests that may damage the crops during growth, storage, or transport. − Because of concerns about the potential effects of pesticides on fruit safety, many researchers have investigated pesticide residues in cherries, peaches, and kiwifruit and evaluated the health effects of detected residues on consumers. − However, limited information is available regarding the residues of pesticide adjuvants in different fruits and especially about TSP n EOs in cherries, peaches, and kiwifruit.…”

Tristyrylphenol ethoxylates (TSPnEOs) are widely used as non-ionic surfactants in pesticide formulations in China. However, limited information is available regarding the occurrences of TSPnEOs in fruits. In this study, 361 fruit samples were collected from the main growing areas in China from 2016 to 2017 and analyzed for TSPnEO contamination using gel permeation chromatography−high-performance liquid chromatography−tandem mass spectrometry. TSPnEOs were detected in all samples, with a total concentration range of 0.5−14786.0 μg/kg (median of 85.0 μg/kg). The total concentrations were significantly but weakly correlated with the residues of acetamiprid (r = 0.119; p < 0.05) and carbendazim (r = −0.170; p < 0.01), suggesting that the TSPnEO residues are probably associated with the use of these pesticides during fruit growth. A risk assessment showed that there were little or no risks to human health. However, the risks to health associated with exposure to TSPnEOs should not be ignored because of their ubiquitousness in fruit samples.
