Abstract
Fruit samples of grapes were analyzed for pesticide residues, employing
multi-residue analysis by gas- liquid chromatography-mass spectrography (GC-MS/ LCMS/
MS). All the fruit samples showed the presence of pesticide residues with one or
other group of pesticides. Some of the grape samples contain more than the minimum
residue limit. The increasing interest in the study of pesticides in grapes is justified from
an enological point of view, since some pesticides can interfere with fermentative
microflora used in wine production, as well as affect consumer safety. There were no
significant differences between some pesticide levels found in the whole grape (skin and
pulp) and in the grape skin. Chlorpyriphos, captan, dichlorovos, oxyfluorfen, fipronoil, 4-
bromo-2-chlorophenol and indoxycarb were detected. Nevertheless, consumer intake of
pesticides from grapes studied in this work should be decreased as a result of water
washing of the grapes. In this paper, multiresidue determination of pesticides using GCMS/
LC-MS/MS are discussed
