Summary: This research developed an analytical methodology to efficiently monitor 77 pesticides in hazelnut samples, validated the method's effectiveness, and successfully applied it to real hazelnut samples. Various pesticide residues were detected in commercial hazelnuts, but the quantities were significantly lower than the maximum residue limits published by the European Union.

Summary: The study optimized the QuEChERS-based method for the analysis of 11 mycotoxins in feed samples, revealing occurrence rates of FBs, ZEN, and DON at 59.4%, 38.0%, and 32.1%, respectively. Co-occurrence of two or three mycotoxins in feed samples was common, emphasizing the need for stricter management standards for FBs, DON, and ZEN in South Korea.

Summary: A new LC-MS/MS method was successfully developed for the determination of five fungicides in orange samples, with optimized parameters for accurate quantification below maximum residue limits. This method was applied to quantify residues in market and organic orange samples, and also to study the degradation kinetics and half-lives of these fungicides in citrus fruits for the first time.

Summary: In this study, pesticide residues in 493 fruit and vegetable samples from markets in Turkey were detected using a highly efficient extraction method. The results showed that nearly half of the samples were contaminated, with 30% of them containing pesticide residues above maximum residue limits. Chlorpyrifos was the most commonly detected pesticide, affecting a variety of different crops.

Summary: The contamination of agricultural soil and crops is a global issue. In this study, a QuEChERS extraction coupled with LC-MS/MS quantification method was used for the first time to measure 65 emerging contaminants in soil and rice. Various pesticides and industrial chemicals were detected in soil, with pesticide residues present in all soil samples and industrial pollutants found in paddy soil samples. However, the concentrations of these contaminants in rice were below their maximum residual limits.

Summary: This study investigated the occurrence of pesticide residues on citrus fruits and evaluated the acute and chronic risk for adults and children. Multiple residues were detected in 83% of the samples analyzed, and 28% contained pesticides at or above maximum residue levels. Most detected pesticides posed a low risk, but some exceeded the acceptable levels for acute and chronic dietary risk. The acute risk was unacceptable in 5.3% of citrus fruits for adults and 26% for children.

Summary: In this study, metabolite profiling was performed on four peanut germplasm lines with different testa colors. A total of 85 metabolites were identified, and 78 differentially accumulated metabolites were found. The results showed significant differences in the accumulation of metabolites in testa with different colors, providing valuable information for further investigation of biosynthesis and accumulation mechanisms of these metabolites in peanut.

Summary: The EURL-FV-2010-M1 method was used to determine pesticide residues in okra, and it was found that 62% of the tested samples were contaminated, with three samples exceeding the EU maximum residue limits. The estimated daily intake of the detected pesticides was within a safe range, and there were insignificant risks from chronic exposure and minor to medium risks from acute exposure to human health.

Summary: This study analyzed the pesticide residues in wines and found that the concentrations of pesticide residues in these samples do not pose any immediate risk to consumers. However, pesticide residue intake has been associated with health problems, making it crucial to monitor their presence in horticultural crops for clean and safe food products and healthy consumers.

Summary: The study assessed the occurrence and quantification of pesticides in gherkins cultivated in Turkey, finding that a proportion of samples contained pesticide residues, some of which were not approved in the EU. Multiple pesticide residues were detected in some samples, with some exceeding the maximum residue levels.

Summary: Research conducted in a fruit-growing area in Southern Germany found that almost 90% of daily pollen samples analyzed featured between one and thirteen different pesticides, with maximum concentrations reaching up to 4500 ng/g. Maximum residual concentrations of pesticides were observed mainly in April, the first half of May, and the second half of June. Data showed a pattern of pesticide residuals peaking for approximately 10 subsequent days with two or three maximum values.
