Pyrethroid insecticide residue in ‘Grande Naine’ banana peel and pulp during maturation

Southeastern Brazil is the third largest banana producing region in the country, with more than 2 million tons produced, and northern Minas Gerais occupies the fourth position in the national production, only behind the southern coast of São Paulo, southern state of Bahia and north state of Santa Catarina (Onstituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística, 2016). Banana ‘Grande Naine’ cultivar belongs to the Cavendish subgroup (AAA) and according to Gao et al. (2016), cultivars of this subgroup are widely cultivated, since they dominate the international fruit trade, being mainly consumed fresh or as dessert.
