Review of advances in the thin layer chromatography of pesticides: 2012–2014

Abstract

Publications reporting techniques and applications of thin layer chromatography (planar chromatography) for the separation, detection, qualitative, and quantitative determination, and preparative isolation of pesticides and their metabolites are reviewed for the period from November 1, 2012 to November 1, 2014. Analyses are described for a variety of sample types and pesticide classes. In addition to references on residue analysis, studies such as pesticide structure - retention relationships, identification and characterization of natural and synthesized pesticides, metabolism, bioactivity, degradation, soil mobility, and lipophilicity are covered.

RETRACTED ARTICLE: Attomolar SERS detection of organophosphorous pesticides using silver mirror–like micro-pyramids as active substrate

“…Such technologies have to fulfil well-established characteristics as selectivity, sensibility and reproducibility. Historically, chromatography techniques have been used for pesticides detection, including LC/GC-MS [5], HPLC [6] and TLC [7]. Nowadays, methods for real time and rapid pesticide detection in food are of particular interest for consumers and researchers.…”

Highly reusable nanoporous silver sheet for sensitive SERS detection of pesticides

“…The increasing demands of pesticide analysis mean the development of practical and cost-efficient analytical methods is urgently needed. In comparison with the in-lab regulatory standard methods such as chromatography and mass spectrometry, 1,2 rapid, portable, and cost-effective in field pesticide analyses are required throughout the food logistics. 3,4 Recently, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has emerged as a powerful candidate for in field sensitive pesticide analysis.…”

Physicochemical and Microbial Characteristics and Social Perception of Treated Ablution Wastewater Reuse in Solo, Indonesia

“…This method is widely used because it is considered to have good selectivity and efficiency compared to other but more expensive methods [67]. This method is proven to have succeeded in identifying various types of food and beverage products, both in the form of raw materials and in the form of final products and materials originating from the environment or the wild [68]. These results are in line with research by Abdel-Gawad et al [69], which reports that the use of EC can remove pesticides up to 98-99% using iron electrodes with the initial pH of 6-7 and 10 minutes of electrolysis time.…”
