Abstract
The objective of this study is to perform a safety assessment of chromafenozide residue level on tomato at the Egyptian national level. An open field decline study of chromafenozide on tomato was performed. The theoretical maximum daily intake (TMDI) of chromafenozide was calculated for assessing the chronic dietary exposure indicating that the ADI value of chromafenozide (0.27 mg/kg bw/day) was not exceeded. As a result, the safety assessment of chromafenozide residue levels was attained. A validated method of the QuEChERS approach followed by HPLC–DAD analysis was used to determine the chromafenozide residues. The recoveries ranged from 70 to 88% with relative standard deviations ranging from 2.0 to 9.0%. The limit of quantitation was 0.01 mg/kg. The half-life of chromafenozide on tomatoes was 3.5 days.
