Food Addit Contam Part B Surveill. 2016 Dec;9(4):256-260. doi: 10.1080/19393210.2016.1208289. Epub 2016 Jul 26.

Abstract

Monitorting of plant protection product residues was performed in 12 grape and 66 wine samples of "Malvasia Istriana" variety, produced in Istria winegrowing region of Croatia and Slovenia. The samples were analysed for the presence of 169 different active compounds using two multiresidual analytical methods: gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. Residues were found in 58.3% of all the inspected grape samples and in 28.8% of all the inspected wine samples. Beside that contents of residues in grapes were below 10% of maximum residue level values and they should not represent any risk for "Malvasia Istriana" grape or wine consumers.
