UNE-EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited method for the determination of 121 pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables by gas chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry

Multiresidue Methods for Determination of Currently Used Pesticides in Fruits and Vegetables Using QuEChERS Technique

“…Final determination was made by gas chromatography with nitrogen-phosphorus detection [32]. Camino-Sá nchez et al (2011) used the QuEChERS method and detection by GC-MS-MS for the quantification of 121 pesticide residues in samples of tomato, pepper, lettuce, cucumber, eggplant, zucchini, melon, watermelon and apple acquired from Spain [33].…”

Application of Fast Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry in Combination with the QuEChERS Method for the Determination of Pesticide Residues in Fruits and Vegetables

“…The AOAC method also includes the use of sorbents, such as C18 or graphitized carbon black (GCB) for fatty and pigmented foods, respectively, in order to improve the cleanup procedure. In the CEN version, disodium hydrogen citrate sesquihydrate and trisodium citrate dihydrate are also used in the extraction step (Payá et al 2007;Camino-Sánchez et al 2011). From the results published, it can be concluded that QuEChERS is a very flexible procedure that can be used as a template for adapting the method to analytes under study, matrix composition, analytical instruments, and analyst preferences (Lehotay et al 2010).…”

Organophosphorus Pesticides Analysis

“…The trends in liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry development are highlighted in the published in 2007reviews (Kuster et al, 2009Malik et al, 2010;Petrovic et al, 2010;Soler & Picó, 2007). The original research works devoted to OP pesticides analysis applying various chromatographic techniques: gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Baugros et al, 2008;Chen & Huang, 2006;Cortés-Aguado et al, 2008;Cunha et al, 2009;Filho et al, 2010aFilho et al, , 2010bHassan et al, 2010;Kolberg et al, 2011;Lavagnini et al, 2011;Lesueur et al, 2008aLesueur et al, , 2008bLi et al, 2011b;Libin et al, 2006;López-Feria et al, 2009;Nguyen et al, 2008;Nguyen et al, 2010;Pang et al, 2006;Rodrigues et al, 2010;Silva et al, 2008;Sinha et al, 2006;Toledano et al, 2010;Wang et al, 2007;Wang et al, 2011;Wu et al, 2011;Yang et al, 2011), gas chromatographytandem mass spectrometry (Barco-Bonilla et al, 2010;Camino-Sánchez et al, 2008;Frenich et al, 2006;Fuentes et al, 2008Fuentes et al, , 2009García-Rodríguez et al, 2010;Lee et al, 2008;Qu et al, 2010;Walorczyk, 2008;Walorczyk & Gnusowski, 2009), gas chromatography-ion trap mass spectrometry …”
