Abstract :In this study, 203 pieces of residue levels of pesticides in apple, pear and quince samples insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(63 pieces); col-lected in for human consumption areas in the province of Konya were investigated. The amounts of pesti-cide residue in the samples were detected with LC-MS/MS and GC-MS by taking into consideration the values of tolerance of Turkish Food Codex insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TGK);. As a result of the study sample of 63 pieces of soft stone fruit, 43 samples were found at least one pesticide residue. Pesticide residues were determined in 68% of the total sample. According the results, Thia-bendazol, which is completely prohibited insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TGK tolerance value of 10 μg/kg);, was determined as 15 μg/kg in a sample of an apple, as 6 μg/kg in another sample of an apple. Chlorpyrifos, which is prohibited, was determined at 8.0 ve 5.0 μg/kg levels in two quince samples. Amitraz pesticide residue was also determined at 147 μg/kg level in a pear sample that this value exceeds about 3 times the limit value given insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(50 μg/kg); in Turkish Food Codex.
