Abstract

Olive oil samples were analyzed for twenty-nine pesticides by means of gas chromatography and Ultra HPLC coupled to mass spectrometry. The list of the investigated pesticide residues includes the twenty-seven pesticide residues of the target protocol of COIPT proficiency tests, yearly organized in our laboratory.

Highlights

  • The olive oil plays a key role in the Mediterranean diet due to its beneficial effects in human health

  • The Conseil Oleicole International [1] has issued in November 2018 the production data in Europe and in the world: More than 90% of the worldwide olive oil is produced primarily in the Mediterranean Basin where is expected to be exposed to higher temperatures in the future due to global climate changes

  • This paper reports the analytical results obtained by using a Multi Residue Method for the determination of twentynine pesticide residues in olive oil

Summary

Introduction

The olive oil plays a key role in the Mediterranean diet due to its beneficial effects in human health. The Conseil Oleicole International [1] has issued in November 2018 the production data in Europe and in the world: More than 90% of the worldwide olive oil is produced primarily in the Mediterranean Basin where is expected to be exposed to higher temperatures in the future due to global climate changes. This level of climate warming will have varying impact on olive yield and fly infestation levels across the countries bordering the shores of the Mediterranean. Dimethoate is a very widespectrum agent which eliminates numerous different types
