Abstract: | A new method has been developed to detect 36 pesticides that may contaminate tea samples (green, black and fruit tea). The hyphenation of solid-phase microextraction in head-space mode with a comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled with high-speed time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC × GC/TOF MS) proved to be a quick alternative to conventional GC/MS methodology which employs solvent-based extraction. The key parameters for controlling HS-SPME performance were optimized, including fiber coating type, temperature and absorption time settings and tea matrix modification by adding water. Quantification was carried out using matrix-matched calibration. The repeatability of measurements, expressed as relative standard deviation (R.S.D.), was less than 24% for all analytes. The limits of quantification ranged from 1 to 28 μg kg−1. The optimized method was applied to analyze real life samples obtained from a retail market. Results generated by the new SPME procedure and those obtained by using a conventional one involving ethyl acetate extraction and high-performance gel permeation chromatography (HPGPC) clean up agreed with each other for positive (containing residue) samples. |
