Multi-residue analysis of 203 pesticides in strawberries by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry in combination with the QuEChERS method

Herein, a QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe) procedure together with liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry was applied to the multi-residue analysis of 203 pesticides in strawberries. To reduce the amount of co-eluents, we compared several dispersive solid-phase...

description Herein, a QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe) procedure together with liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry was applied to the multi-residue analysis of 203 pesticides in strawberries. To reduce the amount of co-eluents, we compared several dispersive solid-phase extraction cleanup procedures and found that cleanup using octadecylsilane provided the best recoveries. Spiked-sample recoveries of 70–120% with relative standard deviations of <20% were obtained for all tested pesticides except for quinmerac. Matrix-matched calibration curves exhibited good linearities (R2 > 0.99), and the limits of quantification (LOQs) were lower than the maximum residue limits recommended by the European Commission and Korea Food and Drug Administration. The developed method was applied to real samples, revealing that their pesticide contents exceeded the corresponding LOQs. The obtained results demonstrate that octadecylsilane-based dispersive solid-phase extraction is a rapid and high-throughput cleanup procedure for the multi-residue analysis of pesticides in strawberries.
