Background. Peaches, sour cherries, nectarines, apricots, plums and cherries are fruit commonly known as “stone fruit”. Their nutritional properties namely, vitamins, minerals, fiber and numerous microelements, make them a very important component of human diet. As fruit trees can be attacked by numerous diseases and pests, chemical protection of these crops is used. Therefore, it is important that the relevant governmental agencies or institutions ensure correct application of pesticides Objective. The aim of the study was to evaluate the occurrence of pesticide residues in stone fruits south-eastern region of Poland in 2012–2014 in order to provide data to estimate health risk to consumers. Material and methods. Validated analytical methods based on liquid / liquid extraction coupled with gas chromatography with electron capture and nitrogen phosphorus detection (GC-ECD/NPD) and spectrophotometry (dithiocarbamates residues) were used for the analysis. 92 samples of stone fruits were tested for the presence of pesticide residues. Results. 13 of all samples (14%) contained pesticide residues. 7 active substances were detected, including 5 fungicides: boscalide, bupirimate, difenoconazole, dithiocarbamates and captan, and 2 insecticides: cypermethrin and pirimicarb. In the analysed samples, the use of not recommended plant protection products in orchard crops were found. However, neither maximum residue levels (MRLs) recommended by the Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 were exceeded nor pesticides being unapproved by the Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 detected in the analysed samples. Conclusions. Lack of plant protection products for control specific diseases or pests in crops results in the use of formulations not recommended for use in certain orchard crops. On a basis of results reported in previous years it can be concluded that occurrence of pesticide residues in stone fruit samples dropped significantly.
The effect of gums formed in stone-fruit trees on the in vitro growth and development of Verticillium albo-atrum and V. dahliae cultured on Czapek Dox Agar (CzDA), Malt Extract Agar (MEA) and Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) was investigated. Addition of gums at concentration 5 mg/cm3 to all used media greatly stimulated mycelium growth of V. albo-atrum and V. dahliae and sporulation of the pathogen. Surface of colony of the pathogens after 8 days of culturing on CzDA, MEA and PDA supplemented with gums increased twice on the first two media and three fold on PDA as compare to the control.
The effect of alginate treatments with or without salicylic and oxalic acid as post-harvest coating in extending the postharvest life of plums (Prunus salicina L. cv. ‘Black amber’) and maintaining their quality were investigated. Plums were treated with 2% alginate coating with or without salicylic (1.0 mM) and oxalic acid (1.0 mM), and then stored at 0−1°C and 90 ±5% relative humidity for 40 days. The quality of plums was assessed at 10-day intervals by evaluating the following quality parameters: weight loss, soluble solids content, titratable acidity, firmness, respiration rate, ascorbic acid content, total anthocyanin content, total phenolic content and antioxidant activity. The respiration rate, weight loss and changes in quality parameters were much lower in coated plums as compared with the control. Alginate coating resulted in a significant reduction in weight loss of fruits. Alginate treatments with or without salicylic and oxalic acid were effective on delaying the evolution of parameters related to postharvest ripening, such as soluble solids content, softening and reducing respiration rate. At the end of the storage period, the edible coatings showed a positive effect on maintaining higher concentration of total phenolics, total anthocyanin content and antioxidant activity, which decreased in control plums as a result of over-ripening and senescence processes. The results suggested that the use of alginate enriched with salicylic acid could maintain considerably higher quality of fruits and level of bioactive compounds than other coating treatments during 40 days of storage at 0−1°C.
