Analysis of 207 residual pesticides in hot pepper powder using LC-MS/MS.

ABSTRACT: This study investigated the determination of 207 pesticides in hot pepper powder and found patterns of pesticide use by production from five regions, detecting a total of 50 pesticides. The LOD, LOQ and recoveries of pesticides were 0.08-2.53, 0.25-7.60 μg kg^-1, and 81.0-132.1%, respectively. The Horrat values ranged from 0.07 to 1.97. A total of 50 residual pesticides were detected in 963 hot pepper powder samples. All residual pesticide levels were below the Korean maximum residue level (MRL) and the %ADI was ≤ 0.001-0.076%. Seven pesticides had a detection rate above 50% (tebuconazole, pyraclostrobin, etofenprox, flonicamid, imidacloprid, carbendazim, and flubendiamide). The region where the most pesticide types were detected was Ham-pyeong with 38 types. Tebuconazole had det
