Green photosensitisers for the degradation of selected pesticides of high risk in most susceptible food: A safer approach

Pesticides are the leading defence against pests, but their unsafe use reciprocates the pesticide residues in highly susceptible food and is becoming a serious risk for human health. In this study, mint extract and riboflavin were tested as photosensitisers in combination with light irradiation of d...
