With the development of global trade and the improvement of consumer safety awareness, the problem of pesticide residues in spices has received considerable attention. At the same time, with the advancement of nanotechnology, nanomaterials have shown great potential in pesticide residue detection. Given the wide variety of spices and their complex matrices, there has been a lack of a comprehensive review on the application of nanomaterials in pesticide residue detection in spices until now. In this study, the advancements in research on newly developed nanomaterials were examined for the detection of pesticide residues in spices over the last 10 years, focusing on the applications of carbon nanotubes, graphene and its derivatives, metal nanoparticles, metal-organic frameworks, molecularly imprinted polymers, and quantum dots. Additionally, this study also explores the advantages and challenges of different nanomaterials' applications and predicts their development trends, aiming to provide a reference for future research.

Enantioselective Behaviors and Risk Assessments of Chiral Pesticide Mefentrifluconazole in Four Types of Fruits and Vegetables.

J Agric Food Chem

March 2025

State Key Laboratory of Agricultural Products Safety/Key Laboratory of Detection for Pesticide Residues and Control of Zhejiang, Institute of Agro-product Safety and Nutrition, Zhejiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Hangzhou 310021, P. R. China.

Mefentrifluconazole was the first novel isopropyl alcohol triazole fungicide. Existing research indicated that mefentrifluconazole had high activity and low toxicity, presenting potential for monocase application, while limited data existed on its enantioselective dissipation in crops. Here, after confirming the absolute configuration, the enantioselective dissipation and risk assessments of chiral mefentrifluconazole in soybeans, peanuts, tomatoes, grapes, and soil were conducted.

Mahonia eurybracteata exhibits characteristics related to heat dissipation, nutritional supplementation, and possesses antimicrobial and anticancer properties. Despite its widespread cultivation through artificial means, the detrimental impact of anthracnose on its growth has led to extensive reliance on chemical pesticides for disease control. Unscientific pesticide application and the use of outdated spraying techniques contribute to the presence of pesticide residues in both plants and the environment, thereby posing potential risks.

Environmental dynamics of pesticides: sources, impacts on amphibians, nanoparticles, and endophytic microorganism remediation.

Environ Sci Pollut Res Int

March 2025

Department of Allied Health Sciences, Chitkara School of Health Sciences, Chitkara University, Rajpura, Punjab - 140401, India.

Pesticides, which are widely used in agriculture, have elicited notable environmental concern because they persist and may be toxic. The environmental dynamics of pesticides were reviewed with a focus on their sources, impacts on amphibians, and imminent remediation options. Pesticides are directly applied in ecosystems, run off into water bodies, are deposited in the atmosphere, and often accumulate in the soil and water bodies.

The present study was conducted with the aim to identify estimates and risk assessment for the pesticide residue present in vegetables, soil, and water in Haryana, India. In the present study, environmental monitoring of commonly sprayed 161 pesticides was done using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for 102 vegetables, 46 soil, and 50 water samples collected from four districts in Haryana, India. A total of 198 samples were analyzed for the presence of pesticide residue and the measured pesticide concentrations were compared with the Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) set by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) and European regulations.
