Tissue-bound residues of thiabendazole (TBZ), a veterinary anthelmintic and postharvest fungicide, are formed when this compound is incubated with rabbit hepatocytes or administered to mice or pigs. Several pretreatment steps were investigated for removing free TBZ and metabolites prior to the release of bound residues, and three procedures were evaluated for the release of bound residues from solvent-extracted rabbit hepatocytes: incubation under acidic conditions, enzymatic action using cystathionine beta-lyase, and Raney nickel desulfurization. Immunoaffinity chromatography utilizes monoclonal antibodies capable of binding TBZ or its 5-hydroxy metabolite enabled isolation of crossreactive residue fractions. Residues released from incurred pig liver and isolated by immunoaffinity included TBZ, as determined by HPLC with photodiode array detection. The methodology described should facilitate food safety assessments of TBZ.

Background: At present, 3D printing technology is becoming increasingly popular in analytical chemistry because it enables the rapid and cost-effective manufacture of sample preparation devices, particularly in flow-based operation, opening up new opportunities for the development of automated analytical methods. In parallel, the use of miniaturized methods and sustainable solvents in sample preparation is highly recommended. Accordingly, in this work, a 3D-printed millifluidic device was designed and used for the on-line natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES)-based liquid phase microextraction (LPME) coupled to a spectrofluorometer for, as a proof of concept, the determination of thiabendazole (TBZ) in fruit juice samples.

Understanding the penetration behaviour of pesticide active ingredient (AI) in the presence of adjuvants is important in managing application efficacy and minimizing residues. This study investigates the impact of non-ionic surfactant alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEOs) on the penetration of two pesticides, systemic thiabendazole and non-systemic phosmet, in apple and spinach. Surface-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) was employed using two different detection methods, namely XZ depth mapping and XY area mapping, in conjunction with liquid Chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to investigate the penetration of various pesticide formulations over time.

Thiabendazole (TBZ) residues in food pose a serious threat to public health. Herein, an ultrasensitive molecularly imprinted electrochemiluminescence sensor (MIECLS) was developed to detect TBZ, using electron autoregulation in nitrogen-doped graphdiyne‑copper nanowires (NGDY-CuNWs) composite luminophore and cyclic amplification strategy of tin disulfide nanosheets (SnSNSs). NGDY-CuNWs composite luminophores were formed by spontaneous chemisorption to provide electrochemiluminescence signals, and the charge redistribution in it resulted in a built-in potential that improved the electron transfer and redox reaction rate.

Cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) can serve as an efficient surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) platform for in situ detection of trace targets. In this study, a highly reproducible SERS platform based on TEMPO-oxidized CNFs (T-CNFs) was fabricated by the ion-exchange. Self-assembly of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was accomplished in only 120 s.
