Analytical methods for pesticide residues in rice

Rice consumption has increased worldwide over recent decades, as it has become one of the most common foods. Although the analysis of environmental samples coming from rice areas has been well documented, there is less information regarding the analysis of pesticide residues in rice-grain samples.Rice (paddy, brown and white) can be considered a complex matrix, leading to difficulties in the application of the different multiresidue methods described in the literature. This review addresses and compares the principal extraction and clean-up methodologies [e.g., liquid-liquid extraction, solid-phase extraction, pressurized-liquid extraction, QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe), gel-permeation chromatography and supercritical-fluid extraction - with QuEChERS-based methods being the most frequently employed].Traditionally, the determination of pesticide residues in rice has been based on gas chromatography with mass spectrometry (MS). But the application of new classes of pesticides has driven laboratories to increase the use of liquid chromatography with tandem MS. The limits of detection and quantification are in the ranges 0.09-90 μg/kg and 1-297 μg/kg, respectively, for the methodologies reported. These values agree with the current internationally-accepted maximum residue limits (MRLs).Based on the European Union (EU) database, more than 3000 analyses of pesticide residues in rice have been performed by official EU laboratories over the past decade. Of these, 6% reported pesticide residues above the MRLs.Physico-chemical properties can explain the occurrence of pesticides in rice commodities: lipophilic pesticides are frequently found in brown rice, whereas fungicides are mainly found in milled rice. Carbendazim, malathion, iprodione, tebuconazole, quinclorac and tricyclazole are the pesticides most frequently found in white rice, while buprofezin, hexaconazole, chlorpyrifos and edifenphos are most commonly found in paddy rice.Pesticide-residue concentrations can be affected during rice processing - with concentrations generally lower in the final products. However, few studies focusing on primary processing have addressed the setting of precise values applicable for the processing factors.

Detoxification of antimony by selenium and their interaction in paddy rice under hydroponic conditions

Antimony (Sb) contamination has become a growing concern in recent years. Strategies for reducing Sb contamination and its related health risks are urgently desired. This study was conducted to explore the possibility of selenium (Se) detoxification on Sb toxicity in paddy rice in order to find a feasible method to reduce the health risk of Sb pollution. Seedlings of paddy rice were exposed to 5 mg L⁻¹ Sb (KSbC₄H₄ O₇·1/2H₂O), in the presence of Se (Na₂SeO₃) at 0.1, 1, 5 mg L⁻¹ in culture solution, with no Sb and Se addition as the control. Paddy rice took up Sb greatly and the highest Sb contents measured among all treatments in this experiment in the leaves, stems and roots were 65.5, 298.5 and 195.7 mg kg⁻¹, respectively. Without Sb addition in the solution, single exposure to 0.1 mg L⁻¹ Se remarkably reduced the malondialdehyde (MDA) formation in paddy rice,demonstrating the beneficial effect of Se at low dosages. The addition of 5 mg L⁻¹ Sb was found to generate toxicity to paddy rice, showing as decreased biomass and increased leaf MDA content in paddy rice, while addition of 1 mg L⁻¹ Se mitigated the toxicity of Sb, as seen with the decreased leaf MDA content and increased biomass, indicating antidotal role of Se to Sb. In addition, the presence of 0.1, 1, 5 mg L⁻¹ Se generally decreased the accumulation of Sb in the leaves, stems and roots in paddy rice. Toxicity was also seen when paddy rice was exposed to single Se at 1 and 5 mg L⁻¹ levels, however, 5 mg L⁻¹ Sb addition was found to decrease the contents of Se in the leaves/stems whereas increased them in roots, accompanied with decreased MDA contents and increased biomass in paddy rice, indicating a possible detoxification role of Sb to Se too. Therefore, Sb, although toxic, could also be an antitoxin to Se in paddy rice at certain condition. Our results showed that Se could alleviate Sb toxicity efficiently in paddy rice through two effects as antagonism and antioxidation.

神府煤与稻杆共热溶研究

研究了神府煤与稻杆在1-甲基萘溶剂中不同温度下的共热溶行为。相对神府煤,稻杆单独热溶时具有更高的热溶率,表明其具有较好的热溶活性。但稻杆的热溶过程中产生大量的挥发性气体,导致其热溶率和热溶物产率之间的较大差异。神府煤单独热溶时,其热溶率与热溶物产率之间的差异相对较小。神府煤与稻杆的共热溶表明,两者之间存在协同效应,并且该协同效应受温度的影响显著。在热溶温度为320~340 ℃时,对热溶物产率而言具有正的协同效应,也即其热溶物产率的实验值大于通过神府煤与稻杆单独热溶时热溶物产率经质量加权平均计算得到的理论值。在研究的热溶温度范围内,共热溶的热溶率实验值均低于质量加权平均的理论计算值。相对于理论计算值,在320 ℃时热溶物产率的实验值增加达到最大,为7.9%。此外,通过对热溶物的性质表征,还进一步探讨了共热溶过程中的协同作用机理。     

Benefits of Anthocyanin-Rich Black Rice Fraction and Wood Sterols to Control Plasma and Tissue Lipid Concentrations in Wistar Kyoto Rats Fed an Atherogenic Diet

Background: This study reports on the relative effects of administrating a cyanidin-3-O-glucoside-rich black rice fraction (BRF), a standardized wood sterol mixture (WS), and a combination of both to lower plasma and target tissue lipid concentrations in Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rats fed atherogenic diets. Methods: Male WKY (n = 40) rats were randomly divided into five groups, which included a nonatherogenic control diet and atherogenic diets that included a positive control and atherogenic diets supplemented with BRF or WS, respectively, and a combination of both BRF + WS. Plasma and target tissue liver, heart and aorta cholesterol, and triacylglycerides (TAG) content were also measured. Results: Rats fed atherogenic diets exhibited elevated hyperlipidemia compared to counterparts fed nonatherogenic diets (p < 0.001); this effect was mitigated by supplementing the atherogenic diets with BRF and WS, respectively (p < 0.05). Combining BRF with WS to enrich the supplement lowered cholesterol similar to the WS effect (p < 0.05) and lowered TAG characteristic to the BRF effect (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Rats fed diets containing BRF or WS effectively mitigate the hypercholesterolemia and elevated TAG induced by feeding an atherogenic diet. The benefit of adding BRF + WS together is relevant to the lipid parameter measured and is target tissue-specific.
