Development of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) biosensor for determination of carbaryl pesticide in Brassica oleracea Var.capitata L. (Cabbage) and Brassica oleracea Var. italica L. (Broccoli)

Carbary! pesticide widely applied as insecticide to protect crops against pests in agriculture. Overuses of carbaryl are hazardous as it interrupts human central nervous system by causing signal transmission to be impaired. Because of the hazardous effects resulted by the prolonged exposure to the p...
