A liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed for the determination of imidacloprid in vegetable and tea samples. The sample was first extracted with acetonitrile and then cleaned up with Florisil and active charcoal column. The precursor ion/product ion transitions m/z 256.0/209.3 and m/z 256.0/175.2 were monitored, and m/z 209.3 was used for quantification. The good linearity was obtained in the range of 0.01 - 0.5 mg/L with the correlation coefficients (nu2) more than 0.997. The limit of quantification was 0.01 mg/kg. The recoveries were 76% - 90% at the spiked levels of 0.01, 0.05 and 0.2 mg/kg with the relative standard deviations of 7.4% - 11.0%. The method is rapid, sensitive and specific for imidacloprid analysis.

Manufacturing water-stable carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) films as an alternative to commercial plastics is a promising solution to address plastic pollution. In this study, waste walnut shell (WS) was used as a natural lignocellulosic filler, glycerol as a plasticizer, and citric acid (CA) as a crosslinking agent for preparing high-performance CMC-based bioplastics through a one-pot casting method. When WS content was 12 wt%, the obtained CWGA-12 after optimization exhibited excellent mechanical properties (tensile strength ≈18.

Background: The WHO considers anemia in pregnancy a severe public health issue when prevalence surpasses 40%. In response, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine anemia among pregnant women in Egypt, focusing on its prevalence, determinants, and associated complications.
Methods: We conducted a systematic literature search for studies published between January 1, 2010, and August 18, 2024, to identify studies from Egypt reporting on anemia in pregnant women, including its prevalence, associated determinants, and complications.

This study aimed to determine 9,10-anthraquinone (AQ) levels in Indonesian tea products from different manufacturers and assess the AQ's associated health risks. AQ levels increased significantly during withering and drying stages, using pinewood as a heat source. Generally, black tea was highly contaminated by AQ followed by green tea, oolong tea, and white tea.

It is of great significance to develop sensors for trace pesticide residues detection in food. Herein, an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor with high sensitivity for the detection of methyl parathion (MP) was constructed by combining of the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme-inhibited reaction with tris-2,2'-bipyridyl ruthenium Ru(bpy) -triethylamine (TEA) system for the first time. A new ECL probe of MIL-100 loaded with Ru(bpy) (Ru-MIL-100) was synthesized, and then Ru-MIL-100 and AChE were immobilized on the electrode with Nafion.
