Multiresidue determination of 160 pesticides in wines employing mixed-mode dispersive-solid phase extraction and gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry

A new multiresidue method for the efficient screening, identification and quantification of over 160 pesticides belonging to different chemical classes in red, rose and white wines have been developed. The analysis was based on gas chromatographic-tandem quadrupole mass spectrometric determination (GC-QqQ-MS/MS). An optimization strategy involved the selection of buffering conditions and sorbents for dispersive-solid phase extraction (dispersive-SPE) in order to achieve acceptably high recoveries and reduce co-extractives in the final extracts. As a result, the optimized procedure allowed us to obtain consistent recoveries of the target pesticides including problematic ones such as captan, chlorothalonil, dichlofluanid, folpet and tolylfluanid. The attained recoveries were typically between 80 and 110% (89% on average) with RSD values typically lower than 10% (8% on average) at three spiking levels of 0.01, 0.05 and 0.2 mg kg⁻¹. Linearity was studied in the range between 0.005 and 0.2 mg kg⁻¹ using pesticide standards prepared both in pure solvent and in the presence of matrix, showing coefficients of determination (R²) higher than 0.99 for all the pesticides except for desmedipham, thiabendazole and thiamethoxam in pure solvent. The study of the ratio of the slopes obtained in solvent and in matrix provided information about the matrix effects, which was <10%, 10-20% and >20% for 33, 36 and 31% of the studied pesticides, respectively. To improve accuracy, matrix matched standards were always used for calculation of the quantification results. The expanded uncertainties were estimated by using a “top-down” approach as being 17% on average (coverage factor k = 2, confidence level 95%). Finally, the method was used with success to detect and quantify pesticide residues in commercial wines.     

Analytical methods for pesticide residues in rice

Rice consumption has increased worldwide over recent decades, as it has become one of the most common foods. Although the analysis of environmental samples coming from rice areas has been well documented, there is less information regarding the analysis of pesticide residues in rice-grain samples.Rice (paddy, brown and white) can be considered a complex matrix, leading to difficulties in the application of the different multiresidue methods described in the literature. This review addresses and compares the principal extraction and clean-up methodologies [e.g., liquid-liquid extraction, solid-phase extraction, pressurized-liquid extraction, QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe), gel-permeation chromatography and supercritical-fluid extraction - with QuEChERS-based methods being the most frequently employed].Traditionally, the determination of pesticide residues in rice has been based on gas chromatography with mass spectrometry (MS). But the application of new classes of pesticides has driven laboratories to increase the use of liquid chromatography with tandem MS. The limits of detection and quantification are in the ranges 0.09-90 μg/kg and 1-297 μg/kg, respectively, for the methodologies reported. These values agree with the current internationally-accepted maximum residue limits (MRLs).Based on the European Union (EU) database, more than 3000 analyses of pesticide residues in rice have been performed by official EU laboratories over the past decade. Of these, 6% reported pesticide residues above the MRLs.Physico-chemical properties can explain the occurrence of pesticides in rice commodities: lipophilic pesticides are frequently found in brown rice, whereas fungicides are mainly found in milled rice. Carbendazim, malathion, iprodione, tebuconazole, quinclorac and tricyclazole are the pesticides most frequently found in white rice, while buprofezin, hexaconazole, chlorpyrifos and edifenphos are most commonly found in paddy rice.Pesticide-residue concentrations can be affected during rice processing - with concentrations generally lower in the final products. However, few studies focusing on primary processing have addressed the setting of precise values applicable for the processing factors.     

Analytical methods applied to the determination of pesticide residues in foods of animal origin. A review of the past two decades

Pesticides are widely used in agriculture and can be transferred to animals in a number of ways. Consequently, reliable analytical methods are required to determine pesticide residues in foods of animal origin. The present review covers published methods and research articles (1990-2010) in which pesticide residues have been extracted from meat and meat products, milk and dairy products, fish and seafood, and eggs, then cleaned up, and isolated by chromatographic techniques to be identified and quantified by various detection methods. Recovery rates, quantification limits, the matrix effect and related parameters have all been considered. Lastly, future developments in this field are outlined.

Determination of emulsion explosives with Span-80 as emulsifier by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

A novel approach for identification and determination of emulsion explosives with Span-80 (sorbitol mono-oleate) as the emulsifier and their postblast residues by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) has been developed. 24 kinds of emulsion explosives collected have been processed by transesterification reaction with metholic KOH solution and the emulsifier has turned into methyl esters of fatty acids. From the peak area ratios of their methyl esters, most of these emulsion explosives can be differentiated. In order to detect the postblast residues of emulsion explosives, the sorbitols in the emulsifier Span-80 obtained after transesterification reaction have been further derivatized by silylation reaction with N,O-bis-(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide (BSTFA) containing 1% trimethylchlorosilane (TMCS) as the derivatizing reagent. The derivatization conditions were optimized and the derivatives were determined by GC-MS. The results showed that the silylation derivatives of sorbitol and it isomers, combined with hydrocarbon compounds and methyl esters of fatty acids, were the characteristic components for identification of the emulsion explosives. The established approach was applied to analyze the postblast residues of emulsion explosives. It has been found that the method was sensitive and specific, especially when detecting the derivatives of sorbitol and its isomers by GC-MS in selecting ion mode. The information of the characteristic components can help probe the origin of the emulsion explosives and providing scientific evidences and clues for solving the crimes of the emulsion explosive explosion.
