TI  - Determination of Organophosphorus Pesticide Residues in Greek Virgin Olive Oil by 
      Capillary Gas Chromatography.
PG  - 570-574
AB  - In this study, the occurrence of 15 organophosphorus pesticide residues in Greek 
      virgin olive oil was investigated. Analysis was carried out using capillary gas 
      chromatography with specific detectors (FPD and NPD), after sample extraction 
      with n-hexane and cleanup by partitioning between n-hexane and acetonitrile. 
      Sixty-two samples of virgin olive oil were taken from the major production areas 
      and packing companies of Greece during 1992-1994. In 46 samples, 9 
      organophosphorus pesticides, namely dimethoate, fenthion, omethoate, 
      chlorpyrifos, methamidophos, parathion-methyl, parathion, methidathion, and 
      malathion, were found, in concentrations ranging from 0.0005 to 0.1800 mg/kg. 
      Diazinon, pirimiphos-methyl, paraoxon-methyl, malaoxon, carbophenothion, and 
      azinphos-ethyl were not detected in any sample. In most samples pesticide 
      residues were below the detection limits (0.0001 and 0.001 mg/kg), and most of 
      the positive findings were a fraction (i.e., <0.09-18%) of the FAO/WHO Codex 
      Alimentarius maximum residue limits (MRLs) except for dimethoate, which was 
      ranged between 1 and 45%. Only one sample contained dimethoate residue that 
      exceeded the Codex MRL for refined olive oil.
