In this work, we developed a graphite-like carbon nitride-laden AuNPs (g-C3N4@Au) assisted LFIA to improve sensitivity for 17β-estradiol (E2) in foods. g-C3N4 nanosheets were applied as carriers, because of their excellent chemical stability, large surface areas and low-cost, loading large numbers of AuNPs to amplify signals and improve the overall response of g-C3N4@Au-based LFIA (g-C3N4@Au-LFIA). The lowest visual limit of detection (vLOD) of E2 is 0.5 ng mL-1 for g-C3N4@Au-LFIA, which exhibit a significantly three-fold improved analytical performance compared with that of AuNPs-LFIA. Additionally, this method was successfully used to the detection of E2 in four spiked food samples, offering a great potential of the g-C3N4@Au based LFIA for its application in food products.Pesticide adjuvants (PAs) are important components of pesticide products. However, limited information is available regarding their occurrences in foodstuffs. Herein, eight common-used PAs were investigated in vegetables in North China in 2014-2016. The residue levels of total PAs in vegetables from markets and farms were 500 and 661 μg/kg, respectively. The highest residues of total PAs were found in cauliflowers (average 1.53 × 103 μg/kg, market vegetables) and spinaches (average 3.72 × 103 μg/kg, farm vegetables), respectively. In addition, Tristyrylphenol ethoxylates (TPE) dominated the total 8 PAs concentrations in most vegetable species. Moreover, the risk assessment showed that the human health risks associated with TPE and nonylphenol (NP) exposure via vegetables for adults were acceptable, and the estimated daily intakes (EDIs) of other six PAs were in the range of less then 0.010-0.89 μg/kg bw/day, which were less likely to pose a threat to human health.The Hellenic Food Thesaurus (HelTH) is the first systematic attempt to create a Greek Bra
