“…Pesticide monitoring systems are designed to ensure that fruit and vegetable residues do not exceed the maximum residue levels (MRLs) permitted by the nation's government. Tey make sure that pesticides are not misused in a way that leaves unintended residues in food and that GAP is upheld [76]. Some initiatives are carried out as a result of expectations placed on them by international trade, primarily in developing nations.…”

In Ethiopia, using pesticides to manage pests in the growing of fruits and vegetables is a standard practice. Various classes of pesticides have been approved to combat pests, but the majority of those in use now are outdated broad-spectrum insecticides with significant residual effects on crops of freshly eaten fruits and vegetables. This review reveals that Ethiopia’s assessment of the residual pesticide level in fruits and vegetables has been lacking. According to the reviewed literature, crops that are often treated with pesticides in many countries have significant residual pesticide levels. However, Ethiopia has not adequately reported on this issue. Furthermore, due to a lack of knowledge regarding the impact of pesticide residues on human health, Ethiopians frequently use pesticides improperly to control pests in fruits and vegetables. The majority of consumers eat their fruits and vegetables unprocessed, without washing or cooking them first. To reduce the risk of pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables for consumer safety and to battle the health effects of toxic chemicals in humans, monitoring pesticide residues and raising awareness about the adverse effects of pesticides on humans are urgently needed. Before they may be registered and sold, pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables as well as in the environment must also undergo proper testing and evaluation. New pesticide generations that have fewer side effects on fruits and vegetables must also be developed. By washing, peeling, canning, or boiling fruits and vegetables before consumption, the detrimental effects of pesticide residues on human health can be minimized.

“…2 The use of pesticides plays an important role in the prevention and reduction of pests and diseases, weeding, and pest control, among other things. 3 However, due to many factors, such as the excessive use of dosage and frequent application, the amount of pesticide residues will endanger ecosystems and human health. 4 Glyphosine, a plant growth regulator, is a pesticide residue, which is generally used to speed up sugar cane and sugar beet's maturation and increase the sugar content.…”

“…Organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) are esters derived from phosphoric acid substances . OPs have been widely used as insecticides and acaricides on vegetables in the last 50 years due to their low bioaccumulation concentration and high toxicity. , Multiple OPs are often applied simultaneously to vegetables in pursuit of better pest control. , The irrational use of OPs leads to excessive residues of various OPs in vegetables, which poses a serious threat to food safety and human health. − Every year, several cases of the excessive residues of multiple OPs in one vegetable have been disclosed by food safety management agencies. , Traditional methods for the detection of OPs such as thin layer chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography, and mass spectrometry (MS) require professional technicians and also they are time-consuming and costly . Due to the short storage time of vegetables, there is an urgent need to develop rapid and low-cost techniques for the simultaneous detection of multiple OP residues.…”

In this work, broad-spectrum aptamers for organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) were obtained by alternate target systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment screening. The secondary and tertiary structure analyses of the aptamer inferred that the neck-loop structure formed a G-triplex structure with the target. In addition, optimization of the sheared aptamer resulted in a stronger affinity (K d = 86.74 nM), which was increased by 2 orders of magnitude compared to similar aptamers. A novel electrochemical biosensor was prepared by modifying an aptamer labeled with an electroactive substance (methylene blue) on the surface of nanoporous carbon containing Fe–Co (Fe–Co/NPC). When a target bound to the aptamer, a G-triplex structure was formed close to the electrode surface. The aptamer phosphate backbone labeled with methylene blue enhanced the electron-transfer efficiency and resulted in signal changes. The biosensor exhibited an excellent sensitivity (7.32 fM) and a wide detection range (1 × 10–13 to 1 × 10–3 M) for OPs under optimal conditions, enabling simultaneous detection of multiple OPs in vegetables.
