[PMID: 38728890 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139535] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2023] [Revised: 04/18/2024] [Accepted: 04/30/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024]
Abstract
This study systematically investigates the residue changes, processing factors (PFs), and relation between the physicochemical properties of pesticides during peanut processing. Results revealed that peeling, washing, and boiling treatments removed partial or substantial pesticide residues from peanuts with PFs of 0.29-1.10 (most <1). By contrast, pesticides appeared to be partially concentrated during roasting, stir-frying, and deep-frying peanuts with PFs of 0.16-1.25. During oil pressing, 13 of the 28 pesticides were concentrated in the peanut oil (PF range: 1.06-2.01) and 25 of the pesticides were concentrated in the peanut meal (1.07-1.46). Physicochemical parameters such as octanol-water partition coefficient, degradation point, molecular weight, and melting point showed significant correlations with PFs during processing. Notably, log Kow exhibited strong positive correlations with the PFs of boiling, roasting, and oil pressing. Overall, this study describes the fate of pesticides during multiproduct processing, providing guidance to promote the healthy consumption of peanuts for human health.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 905:166114. [PMID: 37567284 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.166114] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2023] [Revised: 07/30/2023] [Accepted: 08/05/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023]
Abstract
The ingestion of contaminated tea involves the risk of human exposure to residues of neonicotinoids (NEOs). Nevertheless, there is little empirical research about this topic; to bridge the current knowledge gap, we collected 220 samples of various tea products from four geographical areas in China, including unfermented green tea, semi-fermented white tea and oolong tea, completely fermented black tea, and post-fermented dark tea. A total of six NEOs were detected from the tea leaves and infusions, namely, dinotefuran (DIN), thiamethoxam (THM), clothianidin (CLO), imidacloprid (IMI), acetamiprid (ACE), and thiacloprid (THI). The detection frequencies (DFs) and concentrations of all target NEOs were relatively high across the investigated tea samples, and the DIN, IMI and ACE residues measured in some samples exceeded the maximum residue level (MRL) standards for the European Union. Samples representing the Jiangnan area exhibited greater levels of total target NEOs (∑6NEOs) than samples representing the Jiangbei area (p < 0.001). Moreover, dark tea samples were found to have far higher levels of NEO residues than green (p < 0.001), white (p < 0.05), or oolong (p < 0.001) samples. The health risks associated with exposure to NEO residues via tea were small for both children and adults in terms of acute, chronic, and cumulative dietary exposure risk assessments. The transfer rates (TRs) of NEOs observed in white, black, and dark tea infusions gradually decreased after the third brewing time. As such, it is recommended to only consume tea that has been brewed at least three times. The presented results not only describe the extent of NEO contamination in Chinese tea leaves and infusions, but also provide tea drinking guidelines for consumers.

Abstract
Camellia sinensis (L.) is a perennial evergreen woody plant with the potential for environmental pollution due to its unique growth environment and extended growth cycle. Pollution sources and pathways for tea plants encompass various factors, including atmospheric deposition, agricultural inputs of chemical fertilizers and pesticide, uptake from soil, and sewage irrigation. During the cultivation phase, Camellia sinensis (L.) can absorb organic pollutants through its roots and leaves. This review provides an overview of the uptake and translocation mechanisms involving the absorption of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), pesticides, anthraquinone (AQ), perchlorate, and other organic pollutants by tea plant roots. Additionally, we summarize how fresh tea leaves can be impacted by spraying pesticide and atmospheric sedimentation. In conclusion, this review highlights current research progress in understanding the pollution risks associated with Camellia sinensis (L.) and its products, emphasizing the need for further investigation and providing insights into potential future directions for research in this field.

Exogenous tannic acid relieves imidacloprid-induced oxidative stress in tea tree by activating antioxidant responses and the flavonoid biosynthetic pathway. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2023; 266:115557. [PMID: 37820476 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2023.115557] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2023] [Revised: 10/04/2023] [Accepted: 10/06/2023] [Indexed: 10/13/2023]
Abstract
Pesticide stress on plants is receiving increased scrutiny due to its effect on plant secondary metabolism and nutritional quality. Tannic acid (TA) is a natural polyphenolic compound showing excellent antioxidant properties and is involved in alleviating stress. The present study thoroughly investigated the effects and mechanism of exogenous TA on relieving imidacloprid (IMI) stress in tea plants. Our research found that TA(10 mg/L) activated the antioxidant defense system, enhanced the antioxidant ability, reduced the accumulation of ROS and membrane peroxidation, and notably promoted tea plant tolerance to imidacloprid stress. Additionally, TA boosted photosynthetic capacity, strengthened the accumulation of nutrients. regulated detoxification metabolism, and accelerated the digestion and metabolism of imidacloprid in tea plants. Furthermore, TA induced significant changes in 90 important metabolites in tea, targeting 17 metabolic pathways through extensively targeted metabolomics. Specifically, TA activated the flavonoid biosynthetic pathway, resulting in a 1.3- to 3.1-fold increase in the levels of 17 compounds and a 1.5- to 63.8-fold increase in the transcript level of related genes, such as ANR, LAR and CHS in this pathway. As a potential tea health activator, TA alleviates the oxidative damage caused by imidacloprid and improves the yield and quality of tea under pesticide stress.

Terminal Residue and Dietary Risk Assessment of Atrazine and Isoxaflutole in Corn Using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry. Molecules 2023; 28:7225. [PMID: 37894703 PMCID: PMC10609211 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28207225] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2023] [Revised: 10/17/2023] [Accepted: 10/21/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Isoxaflutole and atrazine are representative pesticides for weed control in corn fields. Formulations containing these two pesticides have been registered in China, and their residues may threaten food safety and human health. In this study, a method for simultaneous determination of isoxaflutole, atrazine, and their metabolites in fresh corn, corn kernels, and corn straw was established based on modified QuEChERS pre-treatment and high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). The linearity of seven compounds was good (R2 ≥ 0.9912), and the matrix effect was 48.5-77.1%. At four spiked levels of 0.01, 0.02, 0.05, and 0.5 mg kg-1, all compounds' average recovery was 76% to 116%, with relative standard deviation (RSD) less than 18.9%. Field experiments were conducted in Liaoning, Heilongjiang, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Beijing, and Yunnan provinces to study the terminal residues. The terminal residues of all compounds were below the LOQ (0.01 mg kg-1) in fresh corn and corn kernels, and atrazine residues in corn straw ranged from <0.05 mg kg-1 to 0.17 mg kg-1. Finally, a dietary risk assessment was conducted based on residues from field trials, food consumption, and acceptable daily intake (ADI). For all populations, the chronic dietary risk probability (RQc) of atrazine was between 0.0185% and 0.0739%, while that of isoxaflutole was 0.0074-0.0296%, much lower than 100%. The results may provide scientific guidance for using isoxaflutole and atrazine in corn field ecosystems.

Abstract
Tea (Camellia sinensis) is one of the most widely consumed non-alcoholic beverages globally, known for its rich composition of bioactive compounds that offer various health benefits to humans. However, the cultivation of tea plants often faces challenges due to their high vulnerability to pests and diseases, resulting in the heavy use of pesticides. Consequently, pesticide residues can be transferred to tea leaves, compromising their quality and safety and potentially posing risks to human health, including hormonal and reproductive disorders and cancer development. In light of these concerns, this review aims to: (I) present the maximum limits of pesticide residues established by different international regulatory agencies; (II) explore the characteristics of pesticides commonly employed in tea cultivation, encompassing aspects such as digestion, bioaccessibility, and the behavior of pesticide transfer; and (III) discuss the effectiveness of detection and removal methods for pesticides, the impacts of pesticides on both tea plants and human health and investigate emerging alternatives to replace these substances. By addressing these critical aspects, this review provides valuable insights into the management of pesticide residues in tea production, with the goal of ensuring the production of safe, high-quality tea while minimizing adverse effects on human health.

Abstract
Due to its unique insecticidal and acaricidal mechanism of action, and ability to mix with most insecticides and fungicides, diafenthiuron (DIAF) is widely used in the cultivation of fruits and vegetables. However, this insecticide can cause unacceptable harm to organisms, making the detection of DIAF residues in fruits and vegetables crucial. In this study, a novel hapten based on the structure of DIAF was utilized to prepare a monoclonal antibody (mAb) with high specificity and sensitivity. The half maximum inhibitory concentration (IC50) of the anti-DIAF mAb was 20.96 μg kg-1 as determined by ic-ELISA and little cross-reactivity with other analogues. Next, a GNP-based lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) was developed to detect DIAF in cabbages and apples. The optimized LFIA, for cabbage samples, showed a visual limit of detection (vLOD), cut-off value and calculated limit of detection (cLOD) of 0.1 mg kg-1, 10 mg kg-1 and 1.5 μg kg-1, respectively, and for apples 0.1 mg kg-1, 5 mg kg-1 and 3.4 μg kg-1, respectively. Recovery rates in cabbage and apples were 89.4-105.0% and 105.3-112.0%, with a coefficient of variation of 2.73-5.71% and 2.15-7.56%, respectively. These results indicated that the established LFIA based on our anti-DIAF mAb was a reliable method for in situ rapid detection of DIAF in cabbage and apple samples.

Abstract
Understanding the residue fate of fluxapyroxad is critical for food safety and human health. The present study profiled the dissipation, metabolism, accumulation, removal and risk assessment of fluxapyroxad in cucumbers and cowpeas from field to table. Greenhouse-field trials suggested that fluxapyroxad dissipated faster in cucumbers than in cowpeas, and M700F008 was the only detected metabolite at <LOQ-37.92 μg/kg. Fluxapyroxad accumulated in cucumbers (average residue accumulation value, 1: 2.21: 1.16) and cowpeas (1: 1.33: 1.05) after repeated spraying. Peeling, washing and parboiling could remove fluxapyroxad from cucumbers and cowpeas (PF range, 0.16-0.85); however, fluxapyroxad was partly concentrated by stir-frying (PF range, 0.36-1.41). Moreover, fluxapyroxad residues increased with increasing pickling time. Chronic and acute risk assessments revealed that dietary exposure to fluxapyroxad was within the acceptable levels from cucumber and cowpea consumption. Given high residue levels and their potential accumulation, fluxapyroxad should be continuously monitored and assessed in the future.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2023; 316:120557. [PMID: 36328280 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2022.120557] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2022] [Revised: 10/22/2022] [Accepted: 10/25/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Pesticides are widely used to protect crops but can also threaten public health as they can remain in the environment for a long time. Additionally, some transformation products (TPs) of unknown toxicity, stability, or bioaccumulation properties can further be formed from the hydrolysis, photolysis and biodegradation of pesticides. The identification and quantification of those TPs can be challenging for environmental regulation and risk assessment due to a limited understanding about them. In this study, a suspect screening strategy for pesticide application history was developed and then used to organic products (tea). Liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) was used to screen and identify the TPs in crops and their toxicity was subsequently predicted with the open-source software (ECOSAR and admetSAR). Finally, the SIRIUS software was applied and 142 TPs from 20 pesticides were identified in tea plants based on the fragmentation-degradation relationship. Of these, standards (level 1) and 53 were considered as tentatively identified (levels 2a and 2b). Some TPs were also found to be present in tea plants and soil after 65 days, thus indicating higher persistency or stability than parent pesticides. While others from diafenthiuron and neonicotinoids had higher predicted toxicity of daphnid, and demonstrated positive for honeybee toxicity. Suspect screening is a powerful tool to screen pesticide TPs on the complex matrix of crops. Such screening can provide potential evidence of pesticide application, especially in cases of illegal practices in organic farming.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 852:158194. [PMID: 35995167 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.158194] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2022] [Revised: 08/14/2022] [Accepted: 08/17/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
The fungicide folpet is rapidly degraded into phthalimide (PI) during both thermal processing and analytical procedures in sample preparation; thus, its residue definition has been modified into the sum of itself and PI. Tea is one of the world's most popular nonalcoholic beverages, where folpet is not listed as an applicable pesticide. To demonstrate how serious false-positives and overestimation in dietary risk are caused by the application of a new residue definition, the residue pattern of PI in made tea and processed tea leaves, along with its transfer rate during tea brewing and corresponding dietary risk, were investigated in the present study. The results revealed that PI residue in tea ranged from <10 μg/kg to 180 μg/kg with a median value of 10 μg/kg, 7.3 % of which was over the maximum residue limit established by EU (100 μg/kg, expressed as folpet). The PI residue in green tea was obviously higher than that in black, dark and oolong tea. Simulated heating experiments revealed that PI can arise from improper heating of folpet-free fresh tea leaves, and thus green tea bears a higher risk for its manufacturing employing a comparatively higher temperature. The transfer rate of PI during tea brewing was 104 ± 14 %. Nevertheless, the risk of PI through drinking tea was negligible to humans depending on the risk quotient (RQ) value, which was significantly lower than 1.
