Summary: | In recent years, there has been a growing concern among consumers about the presence of pesticide residues in food, especially in fresh vegetables. This study aimed to describe and evaluate the results of the analysis of pesticide residues in plant foods collected by the Program for the Analysis of Pesticide Residues in Food (PARA) in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The method consisted of documentary and descriptive analysis of the analysis reports of the food collected in the retail trade, between the years 2013 and 2017. The results revealed that 62.3% of the analyzed samples presented pesticide residues, of these 22.6% presented results unsatisfactory under the legislation. The most disapproved food crops were, respectively: zucchini, peppers, guava, grapes, strawberries and cucumbers. Considering all the samples analyzed, 21.6% were rejected for presenting an unauthorized active ingredient, 3% for containing pesticides above the maximum residue limits and 2% were rejected in both parameters. In addition, 5.8% of unsatisfactory samples presented pesticides whose use is prohibited in the country. The present study allowed to verify the presence of unsatisfactory results for pesticide residues in a significant portion of plant foods sold in Minas Gerais, which reinforces the need to implement more effective actions to control and mitigate risks in the face of food contamination by pesticides. |

Este estudio tuvo como objetivo describir y evaluar los resultados del análisis de residuos de plaguicidas en alimentos vegetales recolectados por el Programa de Análisis de Residuos de Plaguicidas en Alimentos (PARA) en el estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil. El método consistió en el análisis documental y descriptivo de los informes de análisis de los alimentos recolectados en el comercio minorista, entre los años 2013 y 2017. Los resultados revelaron que el 62,3% de las muestras analizadas presentaron residuos de plaguicidas, de estas 22,6% presentaron resultados insatisfactorios bajo la legislación. Los cultivos alimentarios más desaprobados fueron, respectivamente: calabacín, pimiento, guayaba, uvas, fresas y pepinos. Considerando todas las muestras analizadas, el 21,6% fueron rechazadas por presentar un ingrediente activo no autorizado, el 3% por contener plaguicidas por encima de los límites máximos de residuos y el 2% fueron rechazados en ambos parámetros. Además, el 5,8% de las muestras insatisfactorias presentaron plaguicidas cuyo uso está prohibido en el país. El presente estudio permitió verificar la presencia de resultados insatisfactorios para residuos de plaguicidas en una porción significativa de alimentos vegetales vendidos en Minas Gerais, lo que refuerza la necesidad de implementar acciones más efectivas para controlar y mitigar riesgos ante la contaminación de alimentos por plaguicidas.Nos últimos anos, tem sido crescente a preocupação dos consumidores com a presença de resíduos de agrotóxicos em alimentos, principalmente em vegetais frescos. Este estudo teve como objetivo descrever e avaliar os resultados da análise de resíduos de agrotóxicos em alimentos vegetais coletados pelo Programa de Análise de Resíduos de Agrotóxicos em Alimentos (PARA) no estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil. O método consistiu na análise documental e descritiva dos laudos de análises dos alimentos coletados no comércio varejista, entre os anos de 2013 e 2017. Os resultados revelaram que 62,3% das amostras analisadas apresentaram resíduos de agrotóxicos, destas 22,6% apresentavam resultados insatisfatórios perante a legislação. As culturas alimentares mais reprovadas foram, respectivamente: abobrinha, pimentão, goiaba, uva, morango e pepino. Considerando todas as amostras analisadas, 21,6% foram rejeitadas por apresentarem princípio ativo não autorizado, 3% por conterem agrotóxicos acima dos limites máximos de resíduos e 2% foram reprovadas em ambos os parâmetros. Além disso, 5,8% das amostras insatisfatórias apresentaram agrotóxicos cujo uso é proibido no país. O presente estudo permitiu verificar a presença de resultados insatisfatórios para resíduos de agrotóxicos em expressiva parcela de alimentos vegetais comercializados em Minas Gerais, o que reforça a necessidade da implementação de ações mais efetivas de controle e mitigação dos riscos frente a contaminação de alimentos por agrotóxicos.Research, Society and Development2021-02-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/1280210.33448/rsd-v10i2.12802Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 No. 2; e44610212802Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 Núm. 2; e44610212802Research, Society and Development; v. 10 n. 2; e446102128022525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/12802/11466Copyright (c) 2021 Milton Cosme Ribeiro; Alisson Martins Ramos; Vanessa Alves Ferreira; Geraldo Lucchese; Camila Argenta Fantehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRibeiro, Milton Cosme Ramos, Alisson Martins Ferreira, Vanessa Alves Lucchese, Geraldo Fante, Camila Argenta2021-03-02T09:32:39Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/12802Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:34:17.436328Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false |
