“…Several authors around the world reported the presence of pesticides in seafood [ 8 ]. The OCPs class of pesticides, especially DDE, a DDT metabolite, is commonly found in muscle samples of fish such as tuna ( Thunnus spp.…”

“…Endocrine disruptors (EDs) are exogenous substances or mixtures that alter functions of the endocrine system and consequently cause adverse health effects in an intact organism, or its progeny, or (sub)populations [ 1 ]. ED substances have the ability to alter the functions of the endocrine system and cause adverse effects on human and animal health [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ]. Moreover, the EDs may be persistent organic pollutants (POPs).…”

“…Exposure to organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) is related to acute neurotoxicity, possibly due to the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Exposure to this agrochemical is also related to attention deficit disorders (ADHD) and autism in children [ 8 , 17 ]. Pyrethroids are highly efficient against a large range of insect pests, with relatively low toxicity for mammalian species [ 18 ].…”

“…MSPD is based on thorough mechanical homogenization of the sample with a sorbent, after which the analytes are eluted with an appropriate solvent. MSPD has advantages such as speed, inexpensiveness, simplicity, adaptability, and ease of handling in comparison to traditional techniques such as liquid–liquid extraction [ 8 , 21 , 22 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 ].…”

Accumulation of pesticides has a harmful impact on the environment and human health. The main goal of this work was to develop a method to determine and quantify the residues of thirteen pesticides in edible fish and bivalves such as parati (Mugil curema), seabass (Centropomus ssp.), mullet (Mugil brasiliensis), clams (Anomalocardia brasiliana) and mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) collected from Sepetiba Bay and Parnaiba River Delta (Brazil) between 2019 and 2020. Matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) was used for extraction and quantification through gas chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS). The method was validated (linearity, accuracy and precision) for fatty fish (Salmo salar), lean fish (Mugil curema) and bivalves (Mytilus edulis). The survey found linear correlation coefficients (r) equal to or greater than 0.9 for almost all analytes. The relative standard deviations (RSD) of five replicates were less than 20% for almost all analytes at different concentrations in lean fish, fatty fish and bivalves. Most analytes showed satisfactory accuracy. Alachlor herbicide was found in samples of seabass, mussels, clams and parati with levels ranging between 0.55 to 420.39 μg kg−1 dw. Ethion was found in parati (maximum 211.22 μg kg−1 dw), mussels (15.1 μg kg−1 dw) and clams (maximum 44.50 μg kg−1 dw). Alachlor was found in clams (maximum 93.1 μg kg−1 dw), and bifenthrin was found in parati (maximum 43.4 μg kg−1 dw) and clams (maximum 42.21 μg kg−1 dw). The validated method was satisfactory for the determination of eleven pesticides in the fatty fish matrix, and thirteen pesticides in the samples of lean fish and bivalves. The presence of alachlor, ethion and bifenthrin stands out.

“…Food safety has emerged in recent decades as a global awareness of public health and international trade implications. Among dozens of potentially hazardous contaminants, particular concern, in seafood, comes from the presence of personal care contaminants, such as UV-filters (benzophenones) and musk fragrances (tonalide, galoxilide, cashmeran) [ 1 ]. These contaminants have recently been associated with several health disorders, including carcinogenic and reproductive disorders [ 2 , 3 ].…”

Effects of Green Tea Marinade in the Bioaccessibility of Tonalide and Benzophenone 3 in Cooked European Seabass

et al. 2022

Fish consumption is an indicator of human exposure to personal care products (PCP) such as tonalide (AHTN) and benzophenone 3 (BP3). Although most fish consumed is cooked, the impact of cooking procedures on PCP levels is difficult to evaluate. Hence, the aim of this work was to provide thorough information on the stability and bioaccessibility of AHTN and BP3 upon cooking and in vitro digestion. A green tea (Camellia sinensis) marinade, rich in polyphenol, was used as mitigating strategy to reduce these contaminants. Roasting and frying reduced AHTN and BP3 levels in European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) spiked samples. Additionally, the green tea marinade promoted a reduction of up to 47% AHTN and 35% BP3. Bioaccessibility of AHTN was higher (up to 45%), and increased with the use of green tea marinades. BP3 showed a bioaccessibility below 19% in all cooked samples. Overall, a decrease in PCP levels was observed after cooking; this decrease was even more pronounced when marination was previously used. However, this decrease is cancelled out by the fact that the bioaccessible fraction of the contaminants increases in an inverse way; therefore, none of these processes can be considered a mitigating alternative.

An Amperometric Acetylcholinesterase Biosensor Based on Polyvinyl‐Alcohol‐Capped Silver Nanoparticles (AgNPs@PVA) for Detection of Organophosphate Pesticides

et al. 2023

In the present study polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) capped AgNPs (AgNPs@PVA) were used as nanocarrier for fabrication of an acetylcholinesterase (AChE) biosensor for organophosphate (OP) pesticide detection. AChE enzyme was immobilized via glutaraldehyde on drop casted AgNPs@PVA layer on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) for fabrication of the electrochemical biosensor. Through differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) the biosensor measured peak current at 0.6 V generated by AChE mediated hydrolysis of acetylthiocholine (ATCl) to thiocholine and its subsequent oxidation to dimer. By hindering AChE hydrolysis activity of the sensor probe by a model OP pesticide, malathion, the pesticide biosensor was developed as the inhibition effect was found to be proportional to the concentration of malathion. The fabricated biosensor exhibits linearity at range of 0.01 to 1 ng/mL of malathion at optimal conditions with detection limit (LOD) of 2.6 pg/mL. The fabricated AChE biosensor showed good selectivity for OP pesticides and exhibited good efficiency in real sample analysis.
