The degradation of chlorophyll during fruit development is essential to reveal a more 'ripe' color that signals readiness to wild dispersers of seeds and the human consumer. Here, comparative biochemical analysis of developing fruit of Actinidia deliciosa cv. Xuxiang ('XX', green-fleshed) and Actinidia chinensis cv.

Article Synopsis
  • * This mAb shows strong affinity for FPT, enabling the development of a fluorescence immunochromatographic assay (FICA) with a low detection limit of 0.012 mg/kg, which is much lower than the maximum residue limit for food samples.
  • * The FICA demonstrated reliable recovery rates (85.0-105.0%) from spiked food samples and its results aligned well with traditional gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, making it a cost-effective tool

The improper and excessive use in agriculture of chlorpyrifos-methyl (CPSM) and chlorpyrifos-ethyl (CPSE) may affect the health of human beings. Herein, a fluorescence-based immunochromatographic assay (FICA) was developed for the simultaneous determination of CPSM and CPSE. A monoclonal antibody (mAb) with equal recognition of CPSM and CPSE was generated by the careful designing of haptens and screening of hybridoma cells.
