https://www.selleckchem.com/products/icrt14.html A single method was developed for the determination of polar pesticides (fosetyl-Al and its metabolite, phosphonic acid, and ethephon) and environmental contaminants (chlorate and perchlorate) in edible oils and nuts. Two extraction methods based on QuPPe-PO approach (Quick Polar Pesticides Method for products of Plant Origin) were optimized. In oils, a single extraction using water acidified with formic acid (1%) was performed, while in nuts, the clean-up step was modified. C18 was used as sorbent and an extra cleaning step with n-hexane was added. The extracts were analysed by liquid chromatography coupled to a triple quadrupole mass analyser (LC-QqQ-MS/MS). The method was validated and the limit of quantification was 0.01 mg kg-1 for all analyte-matrix combination. Recoveries from 70 to 120%, and intra and inter-day precision values ≤20% were obtained. Forty samples of edible oils and nuts were analysed, detecting phosphonic acid in nuts at concentrations up to 4.6 mg kg-1.The edible Pickering emulsion gels stabilized by dihydromyricetin were fabricated for the first time. To clarify the formation mechanism, dihydromyricetin particles were first characterized. Then, the factors influencingthe gel formation, microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated. Finally, the molecular dynamics simulation was performed to clarify the microscopic behavior of dihydromyricetin in an oil-water system. The results indicated that dihydromyricetin particles occurred as regular rod-shaped crystals with amphiphilicity. They formed a 3D steric network by overlapping with each other, separating oil droplets and stabilizing O/W emulsion gels. The dihydromyricetin concentration and oil-phase weight fraction had a significant influence on the formation and mechanical properties of gels. The alkali and low ionic strength conditions benefited the gel stability. The molecular dynamics showed that dihydromyricetin could spontaneo
