[PMID: 37633040 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.125092] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2023] [Revised: 08/14/2023] [Accepted: 08/17/2023] [Indexed: 08/28/2023]
Abstract
This review summarizes recent advances of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) in sample preparation and determination methods of pesticides in food, environmental, and biological matrices since 2019. Emphasis is placed on new DES categories and emerging microextraction techniques. The former incorporate hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents, magnetic deep eutectic solvents, and responsive switchable deep eutectic solvents, while the latter mainly include dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction, liquid-liquid microextraction based on in-situ formation/decomposition of DESs, single drop microextraction, hollow fiber-liquid phase microextraction, and solid-phase microextraction. The principles, applications, advantages, and limitations of these microextraction techniques are presented. Besides, the use of DESs in chromatographic separation, electrochemical biosensors, fluorescent sensors, and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy are discussed. This review is expected to provide a valuable reference for extracting and detecting pesticides or other hazardous contaminants in the future.

Abstract
In the current study, salt- and pH-induced homogeneous dispersive solid phase extraction was developed using albumin as a sorbent for the extraction of some pesticides (diazinon, diniconazole, haloxyfop-R-methyl, and hexaconazole) from fruit juice of orange, pomegranate, and barberry. The extracted analytes were more concentrated by dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction to obtain high enrichment factors and low detection limits prior to their determination by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. In the extraction process, human serum albumin solution was added to the sample solution at the μL-level and a homogeneous solution was obtained. Then, albumin was precipitated into the solution by adding an inorganic salt and decreasing the solution pH. By doing so, the analytes were adsorbed by albumin effectively due to their high adsorption capacity and large surface area. Following this, the pesticides were eluted from the albumin sorbent using an elution solvent and used in a dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction step. Under the optimum extraction conditions, low limits of detection and quantification were achieved in the ranges of 0.02-0.04 and 0.07-0.13 ng mL-1, respectively. The calibration curves were linear in the range of 0.13-250 ng mL-1. Relative standard deviation as a criterion for precision and the method repeatability were in the ranges of 2.9-4.2% for intra- (n = 5, C = 5 or 50 ng mL-1) and 3.2-5.2% for inter-day (n = 5, 50 ng mL-1) precisions. The enrichment factors and extraction recoveries were in the ranges of 390-460 and 78-92%, respectively. Finally, the offered procedure was applied for the analysis of pesticide residues in some fruit juice samples.

Semi-VOCs of Wood Vinegar Display Strong Antifungal Activities against Oomycete Species Globisporangium ultimum and Pythium aphanidermatum. MICROBIOLOGY RESEARCH 2023.

Abstract
Plant disease outbreaks are increasingly exacerbated by climate change and the conditions of stress combinations. They are negatively affecting crop yield and driving threats to food security in many areas of the world. Although synthetic pesticides offer relative success in the control of pests and plant diseases, they are often overused, and this method faces numerous drawbacks, including environmental toxicity, soil degradation, and adverse effects on human health. Therefore, alternatives are being developed and examined, including the biocontrol of pests and pathogens and biomass pyrolysis leading to wood vinegar that has shown great promise in agriculture and organic farming. However, while wood vinegar use is expanding and allows the control of numerous pests and bacterial and fungal diseases, its application to control oomycete diseases is limited. This study aimed to test wood vinegar for the control of oomycete plant pathogens from which six wood vinegars of pistachio, pomegranate, almond, pine, cypress, and walnut were produced. The inhibitory effects of volatile metabolites (semi-VOCs) of different wood vinegars concentrations (100%, 50%, 25%, 12.5%, and 6.25%) were examined against the hyphal growth of Globisporangium ultimum and Pythium aphanidermatum isolates. An in vitro analysis unambiguously demonstrated that for Globisporangium ultimum, the wood vinegar semi-VOCs of almond, pistachio (C 100% and 50%), and walnut (C 100%) totally inhibited mycelial growth. On the other hand, Pythium aphanidermatum, pistachio (C 100%, 50%, and 25%), and cypress (C 100%) expressed their abilities to completely inhibit the mycelial growth. Other treatments, including relevant concentrations of pine and pomegranate significantly inhibited the growth of mycelia of both species compared to the control (p ≤ 0.05). Therefore, wood vinegar could be considered a natural and organic product to use in agriculture to cope not only against pests, bacterial and fungal pests but also against emerging oomycete plant diseases.

Magnetic dispersive solid-phase extraction of some pesticides from fruit juices using monodisperse nanosorbent combined with dispersive liquid-liquid micro-extraction. ANAL SCI 2023; 39:303-312. [PMID: 36539608 DOI: 10.1007/s44211-022-00235-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2022] [Accepted: 11/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
In this study, the new synthesized magnetic nanoparticles based on amorphous carbon have been used as a sorbent in magnetic dispersive solid-phase extraction prior to dispersive liquid-liquid micro-extraction. The developed method was applied for analysis of ten pesticides from different fruit juice samples by gas chromatography-flame ionization detection. In this work, a few mg of the sorbent is added into an aqueous solution containing the analytes. Adsorption and desorption of the compounds of interest are accelerated by vortexing and sonication, respectively. To achieve high enrichment factors, a suitable organic solvent (iso-propanol) is used to elute the target analytes from the nanosorbent. The obtained iso-propanol is phased and 1,1,2-trichloroethane are employed as the disperser and extraction solvents, respectively, in the following micro-extraction procedure. The synthesized magnetic nanoparticles were characterized by scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, vibrating sample magnetometer, and Fourier-transform infrared spectrophotometer. To achieve the high extraction efficiency and optimum conditions, all parameters that could affect the extraction yield were investigated. Under optimum conditions, the method had broad linear ranges with a proper linearity (r2 ≥ 0.9987). Limits of detection and quantification for analysis of the selected pesticides were found in the ranges of 0.5-1.0 and 1.7-3.3 µg L-1, respectively. High enrichment factors and extraction recoveries were obtained in the ranges of 321-438 and 64-88%, respectively. To evaluate repeatability of the method, it was performed on two sets of standard solutions at the concentrations of 10 and 50 µg L-1 (each analyte). Relative standard deviations varied in the ranges of 2-6% and 4-7% for intra- (n = 6) and inter-day (n = 5) precisions, respectively.
