Value for leveraging existing extensive information and expenditure of resources for provision and evaluation of residue data on crops is long held in the crop protection product industrial and regulatory arenas. Given this, recent upgrades in crop residue processing factor compilations, made publicly available by multiple regulatory authorities, offer an avenue by which to further optimize the value of existing information for purposes of human safety assessment under the test guidelines of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Compiling authorities are the Netherlands National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (ChemKAP) and the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR), who have incorporated publicly available and/or quality-checked registrant global data sources. Two scenarios are presented to illustrate processing factor compilation analyses for forward movement of residue data strategy development: 1) observed processing factors across commodities for a given processing procedure type – selected fruit pomaces; 2) trends in physical-chemical properties for active ingredient analytes exhibiting concentration of residues for a specific processing procedure – sugarcane processing.
