Development of Analytical Method and Surveillance ofGibberellic Acid in Banana, Cherry, and Kiwi Fruit
Shokuhin Eiseigaku Zasshi. 2023;64(4):123-129. doi: 10.3358/shokueishi.64.123.ABSTRACTGibberellic acid (GA3) is commonly used as a plant growth regulator in many food crops owing to its essential signaling functions during plant growth and development. In Japan, a threshold for administrative action for GA3 content of 0.3 mg/kg applies in produce in which maximum residue limits have not been established. Although the threshold is based on previous studies, the GA3 concentrations in individual foods are still unknown. Thus, we surveyed the concentrations of GA3 in banana, cherry, and kiwi fruit on the Japanese market. We de...
