Pesticides are used globally to protect food against pest attack. This study evaluates the dissipation of bifenthrin and deltamethrin residues in unhulled rice and the translocation of these insecticide residues in husked rice stored at 25 °C in a biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) incubator for 35 days. For pesticide determination, the simple and efficient solid-liquid extraction methods with low temperature partition (SLE/LTP) followed by gas chromatography with electron capture detection (GC-ECD), for unhulled and husked rice were optimized and validated. These methods produced results of validated parameters consistent with Brazilian legislation, showing good efficiency (recovery rate above 95%) and limit of quantification (LOQ) < 0.090 mg kg−1 for bifenthrin and LOQ < 0.070 mg kg−1 for deltamethrin. There was a 40% dissipation of deltamethrin residues after 15 days of storage of the unhulled rice. For the insecticide bifenthrin, dissipation during the 35 days of storage was not verified. The remaining residues of dissipation in the rice grains were below the maximum residue level (MRL) prescribed by the law. The insecticide residues did not translocate in the husked rice grains destined for final consumption.
