Abstract

The study focuses on investigating the distribution of γ-hexachlorocyclohexane in turnip and beetroot among their fruits, stems, and peels. The sample preparation method, recommended by GOST, is supplemented by using liquid nitrogen for more thorough grinding and cell disruption of plants. It has been found that the application of liquid nitrogen, while keeping other experimental parameters constant, leads to a 2-3-fold increase in the detectable amount of pesticide. It was established that the distribution of γ-HCH in plants is uneven: the highest concentration of the pesticide was found in the peel, while the stems showed the lowest γ-HCH content. It is shown that γ-HCH accumulates better in the peel of beetroot compared to turnip peel, with the opposite pattern observed for the stems. The accumulation of γ-HCH in the fruits of these root vegetables is similar in magnitude. The obtained data can be valuable for analytical quality control services of agricultural products.
