Abstract: GAC is one of the crucial emerging platforms in the analytical field focusing on the environmental
impact of various extraction procedures. There are various principles on which GAC is
based, including the use of DESs, a miniaturized platform for extraction, the integration of extraction
steps, operator safety, reducing energy consumption, and minimizing solvent wastage. Pesticide residue
analysis is one of the most important factors affecting food safety and the health of society. Pesticides
were used extensively to improve the production of crops and other food stuff, which is essential
to meet the demands of society. This led to an accumulation of pesticide residues in various
agricultural products, including fruits and vegetables, which are important to be detected and quantified.
Different techniques were employed for extraction or sample preparation prior to detection by
instrumental techniques, including GC, HPLC, and hyphenated techniques. Various software programs
are available online to evaluate the greenness of any developed method, including GAPI,
NEMI, Agree, AMVI, etc. This manuscript describes the impact of various extraction procedures
like SPE, LLE, and TFME on sensitivity and extraction efficiency, along with the greenness evaluation
used in the detection of pesticide residue in fruits and vegetables using Agree software.
