The wide varieties and massive doses of pesticide residues applied in citrus production has influence on citrus safety quality in China.The current situation of citrus safety was investigated to provide basic reference in the evaluation of potential risks.All samples from six provinces or cities were determined by gas chromatography(GC) and high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) to monitor twenty-six pesticides.Ten of twenty six pesticides residues were detected and one exceeded the MRLs.Of all the samples,0.47% exceeded the MRLs.The detectable rates of samples from six main producing areas were above 48.9%.There is a potential risk in Citrus products in China.In order to ensure the citrus safety in China,we need to strengthen pesticide residue examination,enhance disease-carrying insect monitor and preventing technical guidance,promote non-environmental damage and green citrus production technology.We also need to improve our detecting technology and catch up with international advanced analysis method.
