The need for sustainable management of cypermethrin, a widely used synthetic pesticide with significant ecological impact, calls urgent concerns among environmental stakeholders. Therefore, in this study, the potential cypermethrin-degrading (PCD) bacteria were screened and identified from soil samples collected Cowpea farm Teaching Research Kwara State University, Nigeria. bacterial strains isolated through enrichment techniques using standard phenotypic molecular techniques. cypermethrin utilisation was determined cypermethrin-treated mineral salt medium. three PCD PCD1 (Lysinibacillus fusiformis), PCD2 (Bacillus sonorensis), PCD3 (Achromobacter sp.).

The increased consumption of fruit and vegetables is essential for moving towards a healthier more sustainable diet. Vegetarian diets are gaining in popularity due to their environmental health implications; however, there need additional research investigating pesticide residues these foods. It increasingly recognized that the global food system must prioritize nutritional quality, health, impact over quantity. Food contaminants, including pesticides, mycotoxins, heavy metals, pose substantial threat safety persistent nature harmful effects. We conducted literature search utilizing four distinct databases (PubMed, Google Scholar, NIH, ScienceDirect) several combinations keywords (pesticides, food, vegetarian diet, toxicity, sustainable, removal). Consequently, we selected recent relevant studies proposed topic. have incorporated articles discuss items, particularly plant-based products. This study rigorously analyzes impacts pesticides ultimately provides solutions elimination or reduction, along with environmentally sound alternatives use. concludes transition agriculture production reducing thereby protecting human wildlife populations, environment. paper argues urgent transform systems sustainability.

Chloropropanols, their fatty acid esters, and glycidol its esters (GEs) are process contaminants in foods that pose potential health risks. These typically arise during the deodorization of vegetable oils, particularly high concentrations within oils like palm oil products derived from them, such as margarine, baked goods, pastries, infant formula. Chloropropanol GE can hydrolyze under influence lipases, forming chloropropanols. Elevated temperatures food production lead to release free 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol (3-MCPD) or 2-chloro-1,3-propanediol (2-MCPD) containing both fat salt. The exposure these contaminants, especially for infants young children, raises concerns about hazards. While extensive research has focused on 3-MCPD, 2-MCPD, GE, knowledge regarding other chloropropanols 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol (1,3-DCP), 2,3-dichloro-1-propanol (2,3-DCP), remains limited. This review aims provide a comprehensive overview encompassing formation mechanisms, analysis methods, toxicological implications, occurrence patterns, levels, mitigation strategies, legislative considerations concerning contaminants.
