Abstract: | A multi-residue method using liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) followed by centrifugation, freezing and dispersive solid phase extraction (dispersive SPE) as clean up steps and gas chromatography with mass spectrometric detection has been developed for the determination of trace levels of 95 pesticides in soybean oil. LLE has been optimized to extract these pesticide residues from soybean oil by studying the effect of different partitions between (i) acetonitrile (MeCN) saturated with petroleum ether and a soybean oil solution dissolved in petroleum ether saturated with MeCN, (ii) partition between MeCN and a soybean oil solution dissolved in petroleum ether saturated with MeCN, (iii) partition between MeCN and a soybean oil solution dissolved in petroleum ether, (iv) partition between MeCN saturated with n-hexane and a soybean oil solution dissolved in n-hexane saturated with MeCN, (v) partition between MeCN and a soybean oil solution, (vi) partition between MeCN and a soybean oil solution dissolved in n-hexane and (vii) partition between MeCN and a soybean oil solution dissolved in mixture of acetone and n-hexane (3:2) to the highest recovery yield of pesticides and the lowest co-extract fat residue in the final extract. Experiments were carried out in order to study the efficiency of using centrifugation and freezing steps as well as the used of primary secondary amine (PSA), florisil, graphite carbon black (GCB) and C18 for dispersive SPE on clean up stages to minimize the co-extract fat. The recoveries obtained ranged from 80 to 114% and the relative standard deviation (RSDs) from 2 to 14% for spiking levels of 0.040, 0.080 and 0.160 mg kg− 1. The limits of quantification (LOQs) of almost all compounds were below the maximum residue limits (MRLs) established by the Korean legislations for soybean oil. |
