“…To the best of our knowledge, little attention has been paid to fungicide dissipation in apple leaves, a non‐edible part which has no direct relation to human health. Various methods have been developed for the determination of TM and MBC in biological samples, including spectrophotographic assays (İlktaç, Aksuner, & Henden, ; Jiao et al, ), capillary electrophoresis (Picó, Rodrı́Guez, & Mañes, ), Raman imaging (Li, Sun, Pu, & Jayas, ), mass spectrometry (Yang et al, ), thin‐layer chromatography coupled with image analysis (Skowron, Zakrzewski, & Ciesielski, ), high‐performance liquid chromatography (Akkbik & Hazer, ; Sandahl, Mathiasson, & Jönsson, ; Singh, Foster, & Khan, ; Veneziano et al, ; Yu, Sun, Wang, He, & Feng, ; Zhang et al, ) and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (Chen et al, ; Chen et al, ; Chen, Cao, & Liu, ; Dong, Yang, Pang, & Hu, ; Dreassi et al, ; Economou, Botitsi, Antoniou, & Tsipi, ; Fernández‐Alba, Tejedor, Agüera, Contreras, & Garrido, ; Ferreira et al, ; Ferreira et al, ; Golge & Kabak, ; Morales, Ruiz, Oliva, & Barba, ; Qin et al, ; Wang & Leung, ; Wu, Chen, Li, & Fan, ; Zhang, Mei, Wang, Zhang, & Zhu, ). Among these methods, the Quick Easy Cheap Effective Rugged Safe (QuEChERS) method followed by UPLC–MS/MS detection has attracted more attention because of its satisfactory sensitivity, good selectivity and short analysis time (Bruzzoniti et al, ; Lehotay, ; Wilkowska & Biziuk, ).…”
