The dissipation behavior, household processing factor and risk assessment for cyenopyrafen residues in strawberry and mandarin fruits

A modified QuEChERS method for determining cyenopyrafen in strawberries, mandarins and their processed products was established with a good linearity (R2 > 0.9981), accuracy (recoveries of 83% to 111%) and precision (relative standard deviations of 0.9% to 14%). The limit of quantification (LOQ) was 0.01 mg/kg. Field results showed that the half-lives of cyenopyrafen were 6.8 and 11.8 d in strawberry and mandarin respectively, and that the final residues were within established maximum residue limits (MRLs). The household processing factors (PFs) for cyenopyrafen residues in strawberry and mandarin fruits were also studied: residues increased in strawberry jam (PF 1.51) and mandarin juice (1.31) but decreased in strawberries (0.58) and mandarin pulp (<0.17) after washing and peeling, respectively. A risk assessment showed that the risk from long-term dietary exposures to cyenopyrafen was 73.73%, indicating that consuming these products was unlikely to present a public health concern.
