This article presents the efficacy of multi-frequency (20, 40, and 60 kHz) multi-mode ultrasound treatment (MFMU) in sequential and simultaneous combination for the removal of abamectin b1 (AB), alphamethrin (AL), and emamectin benzoate (EB) from fresh lettuce surface. UHPLC-MS/MS was used to determine the effectiveness of the water wash and ultrasonic cleaning methods based on the pesticide reduction level. The most effective treatment for removing the pesticides was found to be the triple-frequency sequential mode (TSQ), which removed 92.31, 89.36, and 95.25% of AB, AL, and EB, respectively, after 8 min of ultrasonication. The effects of ultrasound on the physiological and nutritional properties suggest that the TSQ treated lettuce quality is comparable to that of the water washed produce based on the total chlorophyll and total carotenoid contents. Scanning electron microscope observations reveal that TSQ results in the least lettuce surface damage. Furthermore, the studied optimal condition retained better overall color (Delta E) and greenish appearance than other treatments. The application of MFMU in a sequential mode to remove pesticide residues from lettuce is found to be a promising vegetable-cleaning method without compromising product integrity and quality.
