“…Until recently, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), 11 liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), 12 and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) 13 have been the gold standard in acetamiprid residue detection. Nevertheless, these techniques are frequently constrained by their significant instrumentation costs, intricate operational procedures, and the requirement for skilled operators.…”

“…Regulatory authorities in different countries have set maximum residue limits for different food products to ensure the safety of their citizens. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) have been evaluating maximum pesticide residue levels for food safety since 1962 and 1976, respectively [7]. Pesticide residue limits regulated by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry in Turkey are regularly updated in line with the European Union (EU) harmonization procedures.…”

In this study, QuEChERS extraction was combined with dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) to extract pesticides from tropical fruits for determination by a highly accurate and sensitive liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-QTOF-MS/MS) system. The QuEChERS method served as a matrix clean-up tool and the DLLME method preconcentrated the analytes for their determination at trace levels. All parameter variables of the DLLME method were optimized to improve the extraction output and lower the limits of detection and quantification (LOD and LOQ) for all the analytes. Under the optimum experimental conditions, the LOD and LOQ values were found in the range of 0.004 – 0.013 and 0.27 – 0.61 µg/L, respectively. The detection limits achieved by direct LC-QTOF-MS/MS analysis were increased by about 10 – 260 folds using the optimized DLLME method. To assess the accuracy and applicability of the developed method, spike recovery experiments on tropical fruits were carried out. The matrix matching calibration method was used to enhance the quantification accuracy of the analytes in kiwi, pineapple, and mango matrices, with percent recoveries ranging between 89 and 117%.

“…The different methods used in the study showed that peeling was the best way to get rid of pesticide residue. The washing process also showed that it got rid of some poisons but didn't get rid of all of them 8 . When eating citrus fruits, it's normal to peel them first.…”

An analytical method was developed and validated for the determination of 45 multi-class pesticide residues in citrus fruit samples collected from and around Pulivendula, India, using GC-MS/MS (Gas chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry) followed by the QuEChERS extraction method . The linear regression coefficients (R-square) of the methods range from 0.998 to 0.999, and the Limit of Detection (LOD) and Limit of Quantification (LOQ) are 1.56 to 25.23 ng/mL and 4.72 to 76.47 ng/mL, respectively. Recoveries of all spiked pesticides range from 82.6 to 117.6%, with a RSD (Relative Standard Deviation) less than 11.2%. The results show that 42 out of 45 pesticides were detected in whole citrus fruit pulp (with peel) samples. Fenthion, bifenthrin, and fenvalerate were not detected. In the collected citrus samples, phorate (21.71 µg/kg), and ethion (51.47 µg/kg) insecticides are present above the Maximum Residue Level (MRL), but cypermethrin (25.89 µg/kg) was detected below the MRL. 13 out of 45 pesticides were detected in edible parts of citrus fruit (without peel) samples, with ethion having the highest residue. All pesticides were within the MRL limits prescribed by the European Union (EU) and Codex regulations for MRL in citrus fruits, and peeling was found to be one of the best ways to get rid of pesticide residues.
