Dithiocarbamate residues in fruits and leaves of passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) from different Brazilian regions

Dithiocarbamates are widely used fungicides, including in passion fruit, whose fruits are mainly used for juice production, the leaves for the preparation of herbal tea and medicines. Also, the use of the peel in the food industry has been proposed. In this study, the spectrophotometric method for d...
