... A field survey was conducted to investigate the present situation and health risk of arsenic (As), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn) in soils and vegetables in a multi-metal mining area, Gejiu, China. Furthermore, three vegetables (water spinach, potato, and summer squash) containing high metal concentrations were selected to further analyze metal speciation. The results showed t ...
... A new fluorescent labeling reagent, benzimidazo[2,1-b]quinazolin-12(6H)-one-5-ethyl-p-toluenesulfonate (BQETS) was designed and synthesized, and it was successfully applied to the determination of fatty acids with liquid chromatography. BQETS can easily and quickly label fatty acids within 20 min at 90 °C in dimethylformamide with K₂CO₃ as catalyst. The derivatives exhibit high stability and stron ...

Abstract:
... According to the Food and Health Bureau and Trade and Industry Department of the Hong Kong Government, 90 % of the total food supply in Hong Kong was imported from the Mainland China. In addition, the hidden or illegal use of prohibited pesticides, food adulteration (e.g., using industrial salt in food processing, using gutter oil as cooking oil), and pollutions were periodically reported by the m ...
... Leaf vegetables serve as an important food for the local residents in China. This paper focuses on the uptake, accumulation, transfer, and mercury (Hg) sensitivity of leafy vegetables. Two types of soil (an alkaline Cambosol and an acid Ferrosol) and eleven species of leafy vegetable, namely, Spinach, Tung choy, Leek, Fennel, Coriander, Chinese flowering cabbage, Wuta-tsai, Pakchoi, Chicory, Crown ...

Abstract:
... Raw vegetables have been associated with numerous foodborne Salmonella outbreaks; however, there is little epidemiological or molecular data on Salmonella contaminants of raw vegetables in China. Here, we investigated the prevalence and molecular characteristics of Salmonella isolates from raw vegetables in China. In total, 406 raw vegetable samples were collected covering most provincial capitals ...

Abstract:
... Water shortage and stress around the world lead to increasing wastewater reuse for the agricultural sector. In addition to its benefits, it can be a way to transfer pollutants such as potentially harmful elements (PHEs) to the human food chain. Many studies have been conducted for this purpose on various vegetables; however, no comprehensive study has been performed on lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) ...
... Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.), which belongs to the family Apiaceae, is a medicinal and aromatic plant. In China, coriander is widely cultivated in several parts as a vegetable crop. During August 2019 to June 2020, wilting symptoms were observed on coriander (cultivar ‘Tiegan’) in a commercial plantation, with disease incidence of approximately 25 to 40% in Xiajiawang village (118.88°E, 35.46 ...
... Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) is one of the most important vegetables used as a seasoning in China. During the summer of 2019 and 2020, 2-month-old coriander plants with stem and root rot were observed in commercial fields located in Tianjin, China. Symptoms were first observed when temperatures were about 24°C. Diseased plants had chlorotic lower leaves, were stunted, had rotted roots and ste ...
... Coriander or cilantro (Coriandrum sativum L.) is extensively used as a fresh herb in China.
