Variation in hexaconazole and indoxacarb residues in rice by washing, cooking and storage period, and risk assessment
摘要
We evaluated the dissipation of hexaconazole and indoxacarb residues in brown and polished rice during processing using gas chromatography-micro electron capture detection, and assessed risk using processing factors (PFs). Initial residue levels were 6.55/0.56 mg/kg (hexaconazole) and 1.04/0.12 mg/kg (indoxacarb) for brown and polished rice, respectively. Higher washing water temperature, ratio, and cycles increased residue reduction (23.5–89.3% for hexaconazole; 6.7–100% for indoxacarb), while cooking further reduced levels to 61.5–100% and 57.7–100%, respectively. During 180-day storage at 13, 23, and 38 °C, hexaconazole decreased by 6% (brown) and 14.3–28.6% (polished), whereas indoxacarb dissipation was 3.8 and 0%, respectively. Chronic exposure assessment showed that applying PFs lowered the acceptable daily intake by 29.9–99%, and the acute risk of indoxacarb was negligible (0.19–1.50% of acute reference dose). Therefore, incorporating PFs enables realistic risk assessment of processed staple foods and provides baseline data for establishing maximum residue limits for new pesticides.
