TI  - Determination of Pesticides Residues in Cucumbers Grown in Greenhouse and the 
      Effect of Some Procedures on Their Residues.
PG  - 1481-1490
AB  - BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to determine the residual 
      concentrations of ethion and imidacloprid in cucumbers grown in greenhouse. The 
      effect of some simple processing procedures on both ethion and imidacloprid 
      residues were also studied. METHODS: Ten active greenhouses that produce cucumber 
      were randomly selected. Ethion and imidacloprid as the most widely used 
      pesticides were measured in cucumber samples of studied greenhouses. Moreover, 
      the effect of storing, washing, and peeling as simple processing procedures on 
      both ethion and imidacloprid residues were investigated. RESULTS: One hour after 
      pesticide application; the maximum residue levels (MRLs) of ethion and 
      imidacloprid were higher than that of Codex standard level. One day after 
      pesticide application, the levels of pesticides were decreased about 35 and 31% 
      for ethion and imidacloprid, respectively, which still were higher than the MRL. 
      Washing procedure led to about 51 and 42.5% loss in ethion and imidacloprid 
      residues, respectively. Peeling procedure also led to highest loss of 93.4 and 
      63.7% in ethion and imidacloprid residues, respectively. The recovery for both 
      target analytes was in the range between 88 and 102%. CONCLUSION: The residue 
      values in collected samples one hour after pesticides application were higher 
      than standard value. The storing, washing, and peeling procedures lead to the 
      decrease of pesticide residues in greenhouse cucumbers. Among them, the peeling 
      procedure has the greatest impact on residual reduction. Therefore, these 
      procedures can be used as simple and effective processing techniques for reducing 
      and removing pesticides from greenhouse products before their consumption.
