Abstract
Medicinal plant safety is a rising challenge worldwide due to the continued overuse of pesticides to their maximum residue limits. Due to the high demand for medicinal plants, their production is being increased and sometimes protected by pesticide use. The analysis of these residues requires robust analytical methods to ensure the safety and quality of medicinal plants. Developing effective sample preparation for detecting pesticides is challenging, due to their diverse natures, classes, and physico-chemical characteristics. Hence, existing techniques and strategies are needed to improve the reliability of the results. The review discusses the current state of sample preparation techniques, analytical methods, and instrumental technologies employed in pesticide residue analysis in medicinal plants. It highlights the challenges, limitations, and advancements in the field, providing insights into the analytical strategies used to detect and quantify pesticide residues. Reliable, accessible, affordable, and high-resolution analytical procedures are essential to ensure that pesticide levels in medicinal plants are effectively regulated. By understanding the complexities of pesticide residue analysis in medicinal plants, this review article aims to support the conservation of medicinal plant resources, promote public health, and contribute to the development of sustainable strategies for ensuring the safety and quality of medicinal plants in Nepal. The findings of this review will benefit researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders involved in the conservation of medicinal plant resources and the promotion of public health.

Rapid Simultaneous Determination of 43 Pesticide Residues in Schizonepeta tenuifolia by Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry. Int J Anal Chem 2021; 2021:8934998. [PMID: 34938338 PMCID: PMC8687807 DOI: 10.1155/2021/8934998] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2021] [Revised: 10/25/2021] [Accepted: 11/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
A simple, fast, and reliable method was established for simultaneous determination of 43 pesticides in Schizonepeta tenuifolia. The samples were prepared using solid-phase extraction (SPE) method. Pesticides were extracted from Schizonepeta tenuifolia using acetonitrile, cleaned with Pesticarb/NH2, and eluted by mixed solvents of acetonitrile and toluene (3 : 1, v/v). Selected pesticides were identified using DB-35MS capillary column and detected by gas chromatography mass spectrometry. Samples were quantified by external standard method. Recoveries for the majority of pesticides at spike levels of 0.2, 0.5, and 1 mg kg−1 ranged between 70 and 120% (except for Chlorothalonil, Thiamethoxam, and Dicofol), and the relative standard deviations (RSDs n = 6) were 1.32%–13.91%. Limits of detection (LODs) were 0.0011–0.0135 mg kg−1, whereas limits of quantification (LOQs) were 0.0038–0.0451 mg kg−1. The satisfactory accuracy and precision, in combination with a good separation and few interferences, have demonstrated the strong potential of this technique for its application in Schizonepeta tenuifolia analysis.

Abstract
Carbendazim, a very common contamination to the traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs), has posed serious threat to the environment and human health. However, sensitive and selective detection of carbendazim (MBC) in the TCMs is a big challenge for their complex chemical constituents. In this work, a 0D/1D nanohybrid was developed by anchoring 1T-phased MoS2 quantum dots (QDs) over multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) via a facile assembly method. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) together with EIS reveal that the 1T-phased QDs can anchor over MWCNTs via van der Waals forces, and the anchoring improves the nanohybrid surface area and conductivity. Therefore, the electrochemical sensor fabricated based on the MoS2 QDs@MWCNT nanohybrid shows excellent catalytic activity to MBC oxidation. Under optimized conditions, the sensor presents a linear voltammetry response to MBC concentration from 0.04 to 1.00 μmol·L-1, a low detection limit of 2.6 × 10-8 mol·L-1, as well as high selectivity, good reproducibility, and long-term stability. Moreover, the sensor has been successfully employed to determine MBC in two typical TCMs and the obtained recoveries are in good accordance with the results achieved by HPLC, showing that the constructed sensor plate holds great practical application in MBC analysis with complex matrix.

Abstract
As an important "food and drug dual-use" product, chrysanthemums are widely used in both botanical medicine and food applications. However, the misuse of pesticides during chrysanthemum cultivation makes pesticide residue monitoring crucial. The aim of the present work was to address this practical demand for the simultaneous determination of multiple pesticide residues in various species of chrysanthemums. Both the sample pre-treatment and instrumental methods were systematically investigated. Seven chrysanthemum samples were extracted using acetonitrile and purified by dispersive solid-phase extraction with amino-modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-NH2) and C18 as the cleanup co-adsorbents. After optimizing the amounts of MWCNTs-NH2 and C18, matrix effects could not be avoided during LC-MS/MS analysis of 112 pesticides, although satisfactory recoveries were obtained. The use of SFC-MS/MS was evaluated, which demonstrated the significant positive role of SFC-MS/MS in reducing the matrix effects during pesticide residue analysis. In addition, the use of SFC-MS/MS permitted a shorter run time and afforded greater analytical efficiency. Method validation was further performed to evaluate the linearity, sensitivity, recovery, and precision of the developed method. Good linearity was observed for 92% of the analytes in the concentration range of 2-250 μg L-1 for all seven of the chrysanthemum samples. The LODs of the 112 pesticides ranged from 0.01 to 31.41 μg L-1, depending on the sample, while the mean recoveries of all of the spiked pesticides ranged from 81.8% to 102% for concentrations of 20, 50, and 200 μg kg-1. These results clearly demonstrate the applicability of the developed method for the simultaneous determination of multi-pesticides in various chrysanthemum samples.

Abstract
An ultrasensitive method for the simultaneous analysis of pesticides residues in tobacco was developed with online size exclusion chromatography with gas chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry. Tobacco samples were extracted with the solvent mixture of cyclohexane and acetone (7:3, v/v) and centrifuged. Then, the supernatant liquors were injected directly into the online size exclusion chromatography with gas chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry without any other purification procedures after being filtered with a 0.22 μm organic phase filter. The matrix interferences were effectively removed and recoveries of most pesticides were in the range of 72-121%. Especially, for chlorothalonil, the analysis efficiency of this method was much more favorable than that of the general method, in which dispersive solid-phase extraction was used as an additional purified procedure. In addition, the limits of quantitation of this method were from 1 to 50 μg/kg. Therefore, a rapid, cost-effective, labor-saving method was proposed in the present work, which was suitable for the analysis of 41 pesticide residues in tobacco.
