- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoDeterminación y evaluación de residuos de plaguicidas 1,3 dicloropropeno y/o cloropocrina en cebolla paiteña (allium cepa), pimiento (copscum annum) y tomate de riñon (lycopersicum esculentum) comercializados en la ciudad de Cuenca(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2022) Suárez Carchipulla, Nancy Michela; Andrade Campoverde, Diego Paúl; 0302019542Nowadays, the use of pesticides to increase and protect crops in Ecuador is the basis for obtaining food that is part of the basic food basket. While it is true that pesticides have properties that give them a high capacity to combat harmful crop pests, they also affect the environmental balance or persist in the ecosystem, and are then transferred to bodies of water and soil. This is where the probability of finding residues in crops lies, constituting a risk to food safety and consumer health. Objective: To determine the presence of pesticide residues of 1,3 dichloropropene and/or chloropicrin in paiteña onion (Allium cepa), bell pepper (Capsicum annuum), and tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum), sold in the ‘9 de Octubre’ market in the city of Cuenca, Province of Azuay. Methodology: Quantitative cross-sectional, non-probabilistic field study by convenience. Results: Three vegetable samples of tomato, paiteña onion, and bell pepper were analyzed by gas chromatography. The entire process was carried out in triplicate. The onion samples showed residues of dichloropropene and chloropicrin < 0.0002 mg/kg, which is below the Maximum Residue Limits for human consumption. Tomato and bell pepper samples showed no residues of the pesticides studied.
