“…So, QuEChERS based extraction found to be universal extraction method with minimizing the problems encountered in LLE, LLE-LLP, LLE-SPE, MSPD and LLE-GPC method, non-sophisticated equipment needs for sample preparation, with a low cost per sample. The studied herbicides has been successfully extracted from other fatty matrix like rapeseed (Guan and Zhang, 2012) and sunflower seed (Mantzos et al 2013) by using QuEChERS method and the results obtained by the method we have proposed in the present study are comparable with them.…”

This paper reports a simple and rapid method for simultaneous determination of the residues of selected herbicides viz. pendimethalin, oxyfluorfen, imazethapyr and quizalofop-p-ethyl in peanut by liquid chromatographytandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). A modified approach of the QuEChERS methodology was used to extract the herbicides from the peanut kernel without any clean-up. The method showed excellent linearity (r 2 >0.99) with no significant matrix effect. Accuracy of the method in terms of average recoveries of all the four herbicides ranged between 69.4 -94.4 % at spiking levels of 0.05, 0.10 and 0.25 mg kg −1 with intra-day and inter-day precision RSD (%) between 2.6-16.6 and 8.0-11.3, respectively. Limit of quantification (LOQs) was 5.0 μg kg −1 for pendimethalin, imazethapyr and quizalofop-p-ethyl and 10.0 μg kg −1 for oxyfluorfen. The expanded uncertainties were <11 % for determination of these herbicides in peanut. The proposed method was successfully applied for analysis of these herbicide residues in peanut samples harvested from the experimental field and the residues were below the detection level.

A QuEChERS extraction followed by GC/MS/MS and GC-μECD/NPD for 216 pesticide and metabolites determination in soil simultaneously were developed and compared. Volume of water, volume and polarity of solvent, and cleanup sorbents (C18, GCB, PSA) were optimized. The QuEChERS with and without purification step were applied to estimate effectiveness of the method. The recovery and matrix effect (ME) were critical parameters within each tested procedure. The optimal method without cleanup was validated. Accuracy (expressed as recovery), precision (expressed as RSD), linearity, LOQ, and uncertainty were determined. The recoveries at the three spiking levels using matrix-matched standards ranged between 65 and 116% with RSD ≤17 and 60–112% with RSD ≤18% for MS/MS and μEC/NP, respectively. The LOQ ranged from 0.005–0.01 mg/kg for MS/MS to 0.05 mg/kg for μEC/NP. The ME for most of pesticides resulted in enhancement of the signal and depended on the analyte and detection system: MS/MS showed ME from −25 to 74%, while μEC/NP from −45 to 96%. A principal component analysis was performed to explain the relationships between physicochemical parameters and ME of 216 pesticides. The QuEChERS protocol without the cleanup step is a promising option to make the method less expensive and faster. This methodology was applied in routine analysis of 263 soil samples in which p,p’ DDT was the most frequently detected (23.5% of samples) and pendimethalin with the highest concentration (1.63 mg/kg).Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s11356-016-8334-1) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…One modification can be the choice of dispersive sorbent type(s), which depends on the analyte's properties and on the nature of co-extracts from the matrix. Primary and secondary amine (PSA), graphitized carbon black (GCB), or their combinations are commonly used sorbents (Lehotay et al 2010;Mantzos et al 2013;Tomasini et al 2012;Walorczyk et al 2015a). PSA retains many polar compounds, including sugars, organic acids, and fatty acids, and GCB removes pigments but adsorbs compounds with planar functionality (Walorczyk et al 2015b).…”

A one-step quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe (QuEChERS)-based approach to extraction and cleanup in multiresidue pesticide analysis is presented for the first time. The experiment was designed to detect 23 sulfonylurea herbicides in a complex cereal matrix. The challenge was to choose the optimal conditions of one-step extraction and cleanup. Chitin, diatomaceous earth, and octadecyl were investigated as cleanup sorbents. Chitin, citrate buffer, and 1 % formic acid in acetonitrile yielded the best results. The effectiveness of sulfonylureas extraction was evaluated at three different spiking levels (0.005, 0.05, and 0.5 mg kg −1 ) in wheat, rye, and oat using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The one-step QuEChERS provided recoveries in the 70-120 % range for 23 sulfonylureas in all cereal matrices. Matrix effects were evaluated and were not significant for all herbicides, showing suppression or enhancement (between −19 and 13 %). Precision, calculated as relative standard deviation (RSD), was below 20 %. A linear dependence was observed in the range of 0.005-2.0 mg kg −1 , and the correlation coefficient was R 2 > 0.999. Expanded measurement uncertainty was estimated to be between 9 and 24 %, on average. The validated method was employed in analysis of 89 real grain samples.
