Fate of chlorpyrifos, omethoate, cypermethrin, and deltamethrin during wheat milling and Chinese steamed bread processing

To investigate the fractioning of chlorpyrifos, omethoate, cypermethrin, and deltamethrin during wheat milling and the fate of four pesticides during Chinese steamed bread (CSB) processing, wheat samples, which were sprayed twice with chlorpyrifos, omethoate, cypermethrin, and deltamethrin at three levels of concentrations during the grain‐filling stage, were milled, and wheat flour was processed to CSB. The residues of four pesticides in the milling products, kneaded dough, fermented dough, and CSB were determined with GC‐MS/MS. The concentrations of chlorpyrifos, omethoate, cypermethrin, and deltamethrin in bran were 1.46–1.57, 1.85–2.13, 1.27–1.86, and 1.63–2.33 times higher than those in wheat, respectively, while the residues of the four pesticides in shorts decreased approximately 27.97% to 57.02% for chlorpyrifos, 6.22% to 44.77% for cypermethrin, and 13.13% to 61.15% for deltamethrin compared with the residues in wheat (p
