[PMID: 38653046 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139152] [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: 12/05/2023] [Revised: 03/22/2024] [Accepted: 03/24/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024]
Abstract
The development of a robust electrocatalyst for the electrochemical sensor for hazardous pesticides will reduce its effects on the ecosystem. Herein, we synthesized the robust manganese cobalt phosphide (MnCoP) - Core-shell as an electrochemical sensor for the determination of hazardous pesticide methyl parathion (MP). The MnCoP- Core-shell was prepared with the sustainable self-template route can help with the larger surface area. The Core-shell structure of MnCoP possesses a higher active surface area which increases the electrocatalytic performance and is utilized to improve the electrochemical MP reduction with the synergism of the core and shell structure. Remarkably, it realizes the higher sensitivity (0.014 μA μM-1 cm-2) of MnCoP- Core-shell/GCE achieves towards MP with lower limit of detection (LoD 50 nM) and exceptional recovery rate of MP in vegetable samples are achieved with the differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) technique. The MnCoP- Core-shell electrode reserved their superior electrochemical performances with high reproducibility and repeatability. This prominent activity of the MnCoP core-shell towards the MP in real sample analysis, makes it a promising electrochemical sensor for the detection of MP.

ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL 2024; 191:108981. [PMID: 39213919 DOI: 10.1016/j.envint.2024.108981] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2024] [Revised: 08/22/2024] [Accepted: 08/22/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
Human exposure to pesticides in the general population occurs mainly through food consumption. However, specific dietary habits or food products that contribute to pesticide exposure are often unknown. In this study, we propose a combined screening for polyphenols and pesticide residues by liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) to assess the diet and the associated pesticide exposure. We measured 587 urine samples from women around the 34th week of pregnancy of a prospective mother-child cohort. A non-targeted screening for flavonoid-like compounds related to fruit and vegetable consumption was performed, prioritizing 164 features and identifying a total of 46 features by spectral library search. Based on a subset of markers, k-means clustering was performed, leading to four clusters with presumably similar dietary habits. The clusters were compared against food questionnaire data collected within the period of sample collection. Suspect screening of more than 500 pesticide residues including metabolites was performed, with a total of 40 residues being reported for 27 different pesticides. The detection of pesticide residues was compared across the different clusters of dietary habits. Indications were found that pyrimethanil metabolites might be associated with the consumption of citrus fruits or derivate products. We demonstrate that the method used has the potential to reveal patterns of pesticide intake from specific food commodities.

Mikrochim Acta 2024; 191:508. [PMID: 39102114 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-024-06582-z] [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: 06/18/2024] [Accepted: 07/23/2024] [Indexed: 08/06/2024]
Abstract
A solid-state electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor was fabricated by immobilizing luminol, a classical luminescent reagent, on a Zn-Co-ZIF carbon fiber-modified electrode for the rapid and sensitive detection of procymidone (PCM) in vegetable samples. The sensor was created by sequentially modifying the glassy carbon electrode with Zn-Co-ZIF carbon fiber (Zn-Co-ZIF CNFs), Pt@Au NPs, and luminol. Zn-Co-ZIF CNFs, prepared through electrospinning and high-temperature pyrolysis, possessed a large specific surface area and porosity, making it suitable as carrier and electron transfer accelerator in the system. Pt@Au NPs demonstrated excellent catalytic activity, effectively enhancing the generation of active substances. The ECL signal was significantly amplified by the combination of Zn-Co-ZIF CNFs and Pt@Au NPs, which can subsequently be diminished by procymidone. The ECL intensity decreased proportionally with the addition of procymidone, displaying a linear relationship within the concentration range 1.0 × 10-13 to 1.0 × 10-6 mol L-1 (R2 = 0.993). The sensor exhibited a detection limit of 3.3 × 10-14 mol L-1 (S/N = 3) and demonstrated outstanding reproducibility and stability, making it well-suited for the detection of procymidone in vegetable samples.

Residue Degradation and Risk Assessment of Difenoconazole and Its Metabolite during Tea Growing, Processing and Brewing by Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry Determination. Foods 2024; 13:1123. [PMID: 38611427 PMCID: PMC11011539 DOI: 10.3390/foods13071123] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2024] [Revised: 03/22/2024] [Accepted: 03/31/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Residue dissipation and risk assessment of difenoconazole and its metabolite difenoconazole-alcohol during tea growing, processing, and brewing was first investigated by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). The limits of quantification for both difenoconazole and difenoconazole-alcohol were 0.001 mg/kg in fresh tea leaves and tea, and 0.0002 mg/L in tea infusion. In field trials, the dissipation half-lives of difenoconazole in fresh tea leaves was 1.77 days. After spraying, the residues of difenoconazole-alcohol increased and then gradually dissipated like difenoconazole. After 14 days, the dissipation rates of difenoconazole and difenoconazole-alcohol reached 99%. When fresh tea leaves were harvested on different days, the total processing factors (PFs) of difenoconazole and difenoconazole-alcohol for green tea were 0.86-1.05 and 0.78-0.85, respectively, while the total PFs for black tea were 0.83-1.13 and 0.82-1.66, respectively. Metabolism of difenoconazole was accelerated during tea processing. When brewing black tea, the leaching rates (LRs) of difenoconazole and difenoconazole-alcohol were 8.4-17.9% and 31.8-38.9%, respectively, while when brewing green tea, the LRs were 15.4-23.5% and 30.4-50.6%, respectively. The LRs of difenoconazole and difenoconazole-alcohol in black tea were higher than those in green tea. The potential threat to human health for dietary intake of difenoconazole and difenoconazole-alcohol residues from tea consumption is negligible. However, the dietary risk of difenoconazole in fruits and vegetables that are essential for daily diets is concerning, with a risk probability of 158%.

Abstract
The widespread application of pesticides in Morocco's agriculture renders their monitoring in food and environmental samples very necessary. Recent years have witnessed a growing interest in reporting studies related to the monitoring of pesticide residues in food, water, groundwater, and soil as well as their quantitative health risk assessment. Most published studies have been done by university researchers. However, the lack of research reproducibility remains a problem that considerably limits the possibility of exploiting data from the literature. Our study involves an extensive literature review utilizing search engines with keywords like "pesticide residues," "monitoring," "vegetables and fruits," "water and soil," "risk assessment," and "Morocco" from 2009 to 2023. Analysis of pesticide residues in foodstuffs and environmental samples highlights concerns over compliance with EU regulations, the health risks associated with pesticide exposure, and the necessity for comprehensive monitoring and risk assessment strategies. This paper could help influence policies to develop a strategy and action plan for the sound management of pesticides, including measures to reduce their use, raise awareness, and monitor compliance. Also, this paper could be useful for scientists interested in understanding the current situation and challenges regarding pesticide residues in Morocco, as well as countries with which commercial links exist.

Abstract
Malaoxon, a highly toxic metabolite of malathion, can lead to severe harm or death if ingested. This study introduces a rapid and innovative fluorescent biosensor that relies on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition for detecting malaoxon using Ag-GO nanohybrid. The synthesized nanomaterials (GO, Ag-GO) were evaluated with multiple characterization methods to confirm their elemental composition, morphology, and crystalline structure. The fabricated biosensor works by utilizing AChE to catalyze the substrate acetylthiocholine (ATCh), which generates positively charged thiocholine (TCh) and triggers citrate-coated AgNP aggregation on the GO sheet, leading to an increase in fluorescence emission at 423 nm. However, the presence of malaoxon inhibits the AChE action and reduces the production of TCh, resulting in a decrease in fluorescence emission intensity. This mechanism allows the biosensor to detect a wide range of malaoxon concentrations with excellent linearity and low LOD and LOQ values of 0.001 pM to 1000 pM, 0.9 fM, and 3 fM, respectively. The biosensor also demonstrated superior inhibitory efficacy towards malaoxon compared to other OP pesticides, indicating its resistance to external influences. In practical sample testing, the biosensor displayed recoveries of over 98% with extremely low RSD% values. Based on the results obtained from the study, it can be concluded that the developed biosensor has the potential to be used in various real-world applications for detecting malaoxon in food, and water samples, with high sensitivity, accuracy, and reliability.

Abstract
Numerous agrochemicals, including pesticides and herbicides, are applied in modern agriculture, resulting in concerns for the ecosystem and human safety as humans are easily exposed to these compounds. Many agrochemicals, and their transformation products or metabolites, have shown toxicity in in vitro and in vivo studies. However, given the rapid development of novel agrochemicals, for many there is no information about their effects nor about metabolic transformations when ingested by humans. Tracing biomarkers may be the best method for assessing the impacts of agrochemicals. A combination of in vitro metabolism study and suspect screening of human samples (e.g., urine, blood) can be utilized to efficiently find biomarkers for agrochemical exposure. In the work reported here, we determined the in vitro metabolic profiling of six prioritized pesticides and synergists, namely boscalid, carbendazim, piperonyl butoxide, spiroxamine, dimethomorph and fludioxonil, in human liver microsomes. 17 major metabolites were structurally elucidated by high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). Major metabolic transformation processes (e.g., hydroxylation, demethylation and oxidation) were proposed for each pesticide. Individual in silico toxicity assessments showed that some metabolites had the same or even enhanced toxicity compared to parent compounds. Information about these metabolites obtained from HRMS was used for suspect screening in human activities related samples. Carbendazim and a metabolite of fludioxonil were identified in wastewater and laboratory urine samples, respectively. Our findings provide concrete evidence for the use of in vitro metabolites as biomarkers in biomonitoring studies of potential exposure to toxic chemicals.
