Abstract |
Nowadays, out-of-season longan production in Thailand was generally stimulated by potassium chlorate. As
the chemical is prohibited in food, this study was aimed to assess the health risk from consumption of these longan fruits. Three different doses of potassium chlorate were applied on longan trees via root (each dose, n=5), and a control group (n=2). After 210 days of application, the longan fruits samples (ready-to-eat fruits) were collected. After extraction with water, chlorate residues reacted with indigo carmine and 6M HCl were analyzed by UV-Spectrophotometer at 610 nm. The highest concentration of chlorate residues in longan fruits was found in group3 (960 g potassium chlorate/tree) at 0.2254 g chlorate/g sample and the lowest concentration was in control group at 0.0326
g chlorate/g sample. The risk assessment found that consumption of 10 fruits/day, 500 and 1,000 g/day of all treated fruits are safe as margin of safety are higher than 1. |
