Abstract:
Objective To clarify the situation of soybean pesticide residues in Xinjiang and assess their dietary intake risks, so as to lay a scientific basis for better study of soybean dietary intake risk assessment and understanding of potential risks of soybean pesticide residues in Xinjiang in the hope of providing a scientific basis for the quality and safety management in this region.
Methods In this study, 82 samples of soybean production areas in Xinjiang were used as research objects, and 89 pesticide residues were determined by liquid chromatoc-mass spectrometry and gas chromatoc-mass spectrometry. Risk assessment and ranking were conducted by chronic dietary intake risk (%ADI), acute dietary intake risk (%ARfD) and risk ranking matrix (FSA).
Results A total of 28 pesticide residues were detected in 82 soybean samples, and no pesticide exceeded the standard. In the safety evaluation, %ADI and %ARfD values were less than 1. The detected pesticides included 5 kinds of medium risk pesticides, and the rest were low risk pesticides. By risk index analysis, it was found that the soybean samples were mainly of low risk or very low risk, accounting for 97.56% of all samples.
Conclusion The overall risk of pesticide residues in Xinjiang soybean samples is good, and the dietary intake risk is acceptable.
