dc.description.abstractPeaches and nectarines suffer from various diseases annually, prompting widespread pesticide use for pest management. As a result, pesticide residues remain a notable concern for food safety. This study assessed 474 pesticide residues in peaches and nectarines consumed in Turkey, analyzing 459 samples (164 peaches and 295 nectarines) over three harvest seasons (2021-2023). Using a validated method based on QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, in compliance with the European SANTE/11312/2021 Guideline, residues were found in 71.3% of peaches and 71.9% of nectarines. Multiple residues were more prevalent in peaches (49.4%) than nectarines (37.6%), with 12.8% of peaches and 5.8% of nectarines exceeding maximum residue levels. Peaches contained 40 different residues, including 12 unapproved in the European Union, while nectarines had 35 residues, 13 unapproved. Common residues included thiophanate-methyl, acetamiprid, and boscalid. Hazard Index values (0.49% for adults, 0.60% for children) indicated no significant health risk from chronic pesticide exposure through peach and nectarine consumption among Turks.
