“…There were reports of the detection of contaminated paraquat in several vegetables collected from local markets and supermarkets, such as cabbage, 10 tomato, 11 round gourd, 12 and adzuki beans 13 . Over the past decade, the paraquat detection techniques have been reported, including spectrophotometry, 14 capillary electrophoresis, 15 gas chromatography, 16 liquid chromatography, 17 thin‐layer chromatography, 18 surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), 19 and electrochemistry 20 . Although these techniques are effective for paraquat detection, their limitations are the requirement of an advanced instrument, high‐cost expense, time‐consuming process, in‐laboratory detection, and requirement of a trained technician.…”
