It was my first experience to coordinate with the international author panel. The journey was exciting and equally challenging so far! The experience was magical to deal people of different nationalities and professional settings.

Thanks to all the supporting hands.

One serious environmental problem in the world is food contamination. Many of the environmental pollutants result from agricultural activities. Particularly pesticides, which are commonly used to protect seeds and crops, have serious negative implications for human health. Therefore, biosensors were developed and used to detect pesticides in food and environmental samples in the last few decades. Indeed, utilization of enzyme inhibition method in pesticide detection has received the greatest interest. Therefore, this study screens previous researches on enzyme inhibition biosensors for determining pesticides and highlights different biological sources of these enzymes. The review acts as a guide for the detection of organophosphorus and carbamate pesticides in vegetable crops.
