A new analytical method for the determination of carbendazim (MBC) and thiabendazole (TBZ) in apples is reported, based on solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coupling HPLC with fluorescence detection. The main SPME and HPLC experimental conditions were optimized. The apples were first blended and centrifuged. Then, an aliquot of the resulting solution was subjected to SPME on a 60 microm polydimethylsiloxane/divinylbenzene (PDMS/DVB) fibre for 35 min at room temperature with the solution being stirred at 1100 rev min(-1). The extracted pesticides on the SPME fibre were desorbed in the mobile phase into the SPME/HPLC interface for HPLC analysis. The method was linear over the range 0.01-1 mg kg(-1) in apples for both MBC and TBZ, with detection limits of 0.005 and 0.003 mg kg(-1) and correlation coefficients of 0.9995 and 0.9998, respectively. The average recoveries for MBC and TBZ were 91.5 and 92.3% with the relative standard deviations (RSD) of 4.7 and 4.1% at the 0.1 mg kg(-1) level, and 94.6 and 96.1% with RSD of 3.3 and 3.8% at the 0.5 mg kg(-1) level, respectively. The method is simple, sensitive, organic solvent-free and is suitable for the determination of MBC and TBZ in apples.

The cytoskeleton microtubule consists of polymerized αβ-tubulin dimers and plays essential roles in many cellular events. Reagents that inhibit microtubule behaviors have been developed as antifungal, antiparasitic, and anticancer drugs. Benzimidazole compounds, including thiabendazole (TBZ), carbendazim (MBC), and nocodazole, are prevailing microtubule poisons that target β-tubulin and inhibit microtubule polymerization.

Article Synopsis
- Carbendazim (MBC) and tebuconazole (TBZ) are common agricultural fungicides used to combat fungal diseases.
- Researchers developed solid lipid nanoparticles and polymeric nanocapsules to improve the delivery and efficacy of these fungicides while minimizing environmental and health risks.
- The study found that these nanoparticle systems enhanced the release profiles of MBC and TBZ, achieved high efficiency in encapsulation, and reduced toxicity, providing promising alternatives for plant disease management.

A rapid and sensitive method for the determination of carbendazim (methyl benzimidazole-2-ylcarbamate, MBC) and thiabendazole (TBZ) in water and soil samples was developed by using dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) coupled with high performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection. The water samples were directly used for the DLLME extraction. For soil samples, the target analytes were first extracted by 0.

A novel method for the determination of carbendazim (MBC) and thiabendazole (TBZ) in tomatoes by solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coupled with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and fluorescence detection was developed. The experimental conditions of SPME, including extraction fiber, extraction time, extraction temperature, desorption time, desorption solvent, desorption mode, pH value, organic solvent and ionic strength, and HPLC conditions were optimized. The SPME for MBC and TBZ was performed on a 65 microm polydimethylsiloxane/divinylbenzene (PDMS/DVB) fibre for 50 min at room temperature with the solution being stirred at 1 100 r/min.
