A Simple and Efficient Optimized Solid-Liquid Extraction with Low Temperature Partition Procedure for Dissipation and Translocation Study of Pesticide Residues in Rice Grains

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)
