In this study, imidacloprid, a systemic insecticide, currently having a specified European Commission MRL value for vine leaves (2 mg kg−1), was applied on a Lebanese vineyard under different commercial formulations: as a soluble liquid (SL) and water dispersible granules (WDG). In Lebanon, many commercial formulations of imidacloprid are subject to the same critical good agricultural practice (cGAP). It was, therefore, important to verify the variability in dissipation patterns according to matrix nature and formulation type. Random samplings of grapes and vine leaves were performed starting at 2 days until 18 days after treatment. Residue extractions were performed according to the QuEChERS method and the analytical determination using liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS). The SL formulation yielded significantly higher initial deposit than the WDG formulation on grapes and vine leaves. The formulation type did not significantly affect the dissipation rates; the estimated half-lives in grapes and vine leaves were 0.5 days for all imidacloprid formulations. No pre-harvest intervals were necessary on grapes. PHIs of 3.7 days for the SL formulation and 2.8 days for the WDG formulation were estimated on vine leaves. The results showed that the type of formulation and the morphological and physiological characteristics of the matrix had an effect on the initial deposits, and thus residue levels, but not on the dissipation patterns.

In this paper, carboxylated carbon nitride nanoparticles (carboxylated-g-C3N4 NPs) were prepared through a one-step molten salts method. The synthesized material was characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM), Fourier transform-infrared spectra (FTIR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), etc. An electrochemical sensor based on single-stranded oligonucleotide/carboxylated-g-C3N4/chitosan/glassy carbon electrode (ssDNA/carboxylated-g-C3N4/chitosan/GCE) was constructed for determination of the hydroxyl radical (•OH), and methylene blue (MB) was used as a signal molecule. The sensor showed a suitable electrochemical response toward •OH from 4.06 to 122.79 fM with a detection limit of 1.35 fM. The selectivity, reproducibility, and stability were also presented. Application of the sensor to real meat samples (i.e., pork, chicken, shrimp, and sausage) was performed, and the results indicated the proposed method could be used to detect •OH in practical samples. The proposed sensor holds a great promise to be applied in the fields of food safety.

Abstract Counterfeit leather products infringe the intellectual property rights of the business, cause enormous economic loss, and negatively influence the business enthusiasm for innovation. However, traditional anti-counterfeiting materials for leather products suffer from complicated fabrication procedures, photobleaching, and high volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. Here, a sustainable and invisible anti-counterfeiting ink composed of waterborne polyurethane and water-dispersible lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) featuring ease of preparation, high photostability, non-toxicity, low VOC emissions, and strong adhesion strength for leather products is designed and synthesized. After decorating on the surface of leather products, the obtained patterns are invisible under normal light conditions. Upon irradiation at 808 nm, the invisible patterns can be observed by naked eyes due to the visible light emitted by 808 nm excited UCNPs. Our approach described here opens a new pathway to realize the long-term, stable anti-counterfeiting function of leather products. Graphical Abstract
