Studies on nitenpyram determination and behavior within tea remain limited despite its widespread use as a neonicotinoid. An organic-saving analytical approach tailored for the detection of nitenpyram in tea was established. Nitenpyram was extracted by boiling water and cleaned up by Cleanert PCX solid-phase.

Quantitative analysis of multi-pesticide residues in chrysanthemum matrices is therefore crucial for both product-safety assurance and consumer-risk evaluation. In the present study, a simple and effective method was developed for simultaneously detecting 15 pesticides frequently used in chrysanthemum cultivation in three matrices, including fresh flowers, dry chrysanthemum tea, and infusions.

The temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) properties of an anti-perovskite [MnBr]BrCs sample in the temperature range of 78-500 K are studied in the present work. This material exhibits unique performance which is different from a typical perovskite. Experiments showed that from room temperature to 78 K, the luminous intensity increased as the temperature decreased.

However, there are few reports about the residue analysis method, field dissipation, terminal residue and risk assessment of picoxystrobin in tea. And there is no scientific and reasonable maximum residue limit of picoxystrobin in green tea.

The transformation follows the route of "dissolution-recrystallization", during which the arsenic pollutant in gypsum is released into the solution, and hence raises the possibility of being distributed into the product of α-HH, a potential harm that has always been neglected. Investigation of the transformation process at neutral pH revealed that the arsenate ions in solution were distributed into α-HH and generated an enrichment of arsenic by 4-6 times.

The two diniconazole enantiomers were separated on a Chiral CCA column, and the chromatographic conditions (mobile phase proportion and modifier, column temperature, backpressure, and auxiliary solvent) were optimized. The optimal SFC-Q-TOF/MS conditions were selected as a mobile phase of CO/isopropanol (IPA) (v/v, 96/4), flow rate at 2.
