Abstract

ABSTRACT The effects of field application rates, number of applications, interval to harvest after field treatment with ethylenebisdithiocarbamate (EBDC) fungicide and the effect of washing on the levels of the residue ethylenethiourea (ETU) in canned spinach were studied. High rates of applied EBDC high number of field applications and applications closer to harvest time resulted in canned spinach with high levels of ETU. Washing with water before processing significantly reduced the levels of ETU in spinach from all the field treatments, but washing with a solution of sodium hypochlorite and a mild detergent reduced even further the levels of ETU.
