Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Extraction With Dimethyl Carbonate and Bio-Ethanol as Co-Solvents for the Determination of Pesticide Residues in Black Pepper by Low-Pressure Gas Chromatography-Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The determination of pesticide residues in spices is analytically challenging due to their high content of essential oils and secondary metabolites that could interfere with detection and quantification. In this study, supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), using green co‐solvents, was evaluated for the extraction of 44 pesticides from black ...

Prioritisation of pesticides and target organ systems for dietary cumulative risk assessment based on the 2019-2021 monitoring cycle. [PDF]
Abstract Aiming at accelerating the implementation of cumulative risk assessment to pesticide residues, this report describes a two‐step prioritisation analysis, on individual pesticides and on target organ systems, that allows to identify (i) low‐priority substances expected to have a marginal contribution to cumulative risk, and (ii) high priority ...

Biological factors and production challenges drive significant UK fruit and vegetable loss. [PDF]
Abstract BACKGROUND Food loss and waste estimates are highly inconsistent as a result of methodological and systemic differences. Additionally, the absence of in‐depth evidence surrounding the biological drivers of food loss and waste precludes targeted mitigation action.

Targeted review of maximum residue levels (MRLs) for profenofos
Abstract In accordance with Article 43 of Regulation (EC) 396/2005, EFSA received a request from the European Commission to review the existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) for the non‐approved active substance profenofos in view of the possible lowering of the MRL. EFSA investigated the origin of the current EU MRLs.

Targeted risk assessment of maximum residue levels for nicotine in spices
Abstract In accordance with Article 43 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, EFSA received a mandate from the European Commission to perform a targeted risk assessment of maximum residue levels (MRLs) for nicotine in spices. EFSA performed the acute (short‐term) and chronic (long‐term) dietary risk assessment considering the nicotine exposure via residues in

Statement on the maximum residue level for propamocarb in lettuces. [PDF]
Abstract In accordance with Article 43 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, EFSA received a mandate from the European Commission to provide a statement on the maximum residue level (MRL) of propamocarb in lettuces. EFSA was mandated to identify a safe fall‐back MRL in lettuces since, for the current MRL of 40 mg/kg, acute consumer intake concerns could not ...
