“…In past years, pesticide residues in food were detected by different chromatographic methods . Although chromatographic methods possess the key advantages of accuracy and sensitivity, their disadvantages include high cost, difficulty of use, complex and higher‐quantity sample pretreatment, inability to perform online analysis, and the use of large amounts of organic solvents . Therefore, the routine analysis of pesticides in foods needs to be cheaper and faster and should have a lower limit of detection (LOD) and simpler screening methods than those currently used, while preserving their high sensitivity.…”

This study aimed to prepare a novel quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensor for the detection of pirimicarb. Pirimicarb-imprinted poly (ethylene glycol dimethacrylate-Nmetacryloyl-(L)-tryptophan methyl ester) [p (EGDMA-MATrp)] nanofilm (MIP) on the gold surface of a QCM chip was synthesized using the molecular imprinting technique. A nonimprinted p (EGDMA-MATrp) nanofilm (NIP) was also synthesized using the same experimental technique. The MIP and NIP nanofilms were characterized via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy attenuated total reflectance spectroscopy, contact angle, atomic force microscopy, and an ellipsometer. A competitive adsorption experiment on the sensor was performed to display the selectivity of the nanofilm. An analysis of the QCM sensor showed that the MIP nanofilm exhibited high sensitivity and selectivity for pirimicarb determination. A liquid chromatographytandem mass spectrometry method was prepared and validated to determine the accuracy and precision of the QCM sensor. The accuracy and precision of both methods were determined by a comparison of six replicates at three different concentrations to tomato samples extracted by using a Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged and Safe (QuEChERS) method. The limit of detection of the QCM sensor was found to be 0.028 nM. In conclusion, the QCM sensor showed good accuracy, with recovery percentages between 91 and 94%. Also, the pirimicarb-imprinted QCM sensor exhibited a fast response time, reusability, high selectivity and sensitivity, and a low limit of detection. Therefore, it offers a serious alternative to the traditional analytical methods for pesticide detection in both natural sources and aqueous solutions.

“…When collecting pollen and nectar from flowers, bees transfer chemical contaminants to their beehives, with the result that they are detected in honey (Orso et al 2016;Tette et al 2016a;Barganska et al 2013). These chemical pollutans are grouped into three toxicity classes (low, medium, and high) Highly toxic insecticides (constituting the largest group of the compounds) are dangerous to pollinating organisms, even in sublethal doses .…”

The analytical tool for analysis of pesticide residues in honey must still be improved. Therefore, a sensitive, selective, rapid, and reliable analytical method for the analysis of pesticide residue belonging to 29 different classes at very low concentration levels was developed. Over 130 insecticides were extracted from the honey matrix using different amounts of sample, concentrations of the extraction solvent, and cleanup sorbents. Acceptable extraction recoveries accounting for matrix effect were obtained using the cleanup sorbent combination chitosan/aluminum oxide/C8 (200/200/200 mg) and 1% FA in ACN. Determinations were made by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). For most compounds, the recoveries range from 70 to 120%, with relative standard deviations < 20%. Linear correlation coefficients (r2) were higher than 0.99 at concentration levels of 0.001-0.100 mg kg−1. A positive matrix effect was observed for up to 95% of organophosphates and 43% of pyrethroids and a negative effect for 37% of neonicotinoids. This work showed that the presented method is convenient and reliable for quick monitoring of insecticides in honey samples.

A new type of adsorbent composed of magnetic three-dimensional graphene coated with silver nanoparticles was synthesized by an electroless technique and used in the magnetic solid-phase extraction of selected pesticides (fenitrothion, chlorpyrifos, and hexaconazole) before gas chromatography with a micro-electron capture detector. The adsorbent was characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, vibrating sample magnetometry, and field-emission scanning electron microscopy. The important extraction parameters such as pH, adsorbent dose, extraction time, and desorption conditions were investigated. Under the optimal conditions, the analytical figures of merit were obtained as: linear dynamic range of 0.1-5 ng/g with determination coefficients of 0.991-0.996; limit of detection of 0.07-0.13 ng/g; limit of quantification of 0.242-0.448 ng/g; and the intraday and interday relative standard deviations (C = 5 ng/g, n = 3) were 3.8-8.7 and 6.6-8.9%, respectively. The developed method was successfully applied for analysis of the selected pesticides in tomato and grape with extraction recoveries in the range of 72.8-109.6%.
