“…[4][5][6] Cherry tomatoes are preferred as a garnish in salads, but some illegal merchants usually abuse 2,4-D on cherry tomatoes to make them premature. The EU food pesticide residue regulation states that the maximum residual level for 2,4-D in cherry tomatoes is 0.05 mg kg -1.7 Thus, it is crucial and essential to investigate analytical techniques with high sensitivity for the quick and precise identification of 2,4-D residues.Pesticide residue detection technologies have traditionally relied on chromatography, such as highperformance liquid chromatography (HPLC), 8,9 liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), 10,11 gas chromatography (GC), 12,13 and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). 14,15 These techniques, however, are time-consuming and sophisticated, necessitating extensive sample processing procedures and specialized staff to operate.…”
