A short review of extraction methods associated with chromatographic analysis for the control of pesticide residues in processed fruit juices

In recent years, the number of publications related to the control of pesticides in food has been increasing, due to the risks associated with the intensive use of pesticides and the requirements of the legislations. This study aims to carry out a bibliographic review of research involving sample preparation and analysis of pesticides in processed foods of plant origin using efficient and modern methodologies for identifying and quantifying pesticide residues. This paper describes the studies related to food security and quality of processed products using chromatographic analysis related to Mass Spectrometry, modern multiresidue methods and the investigation of toxic residues in fruit juices. This study may assist the scientific community on the main advances in techniques for controlling the levels of residues in juices. The data emphasizes the importance of continuous monitoring of the processed product chain and seeks to encourage an increase in the scope of legislations.
