Summary: This study optimized a method for the multi-residue analysis of 287 pesticide residues in mandarin orange and grapefruit using the quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe (QuEChERS) technique combined with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The method was validated in terms of selectivity, LOQ, linearity, accuracy, precision, and matrix effect, showing satisfactory results for routine laboratory testing of citrus fruits for pesticide residue analyses.

Summary: A rapid and accurate analytical method was developed for multiple pesticide residues in complex matrices using magnetic dispersive solid phase extraction (d-SPE) and supercritical fluid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (SFC-MS/MS). By using Fe3O4-MgO coupled with PSA and C18 as d-SPE purification adsorbents, efficient removal of interferences in complex matrix was achieved. The proposed method showed good linearity, satisfactory recovery, and wide applicability for pesticide residue analysis in complex samples.

Summary: A multi-residue determination method for pesticide residues in dried hops was developed, employing acetate buffered QuEChERS method and dSPE sorbents. The study revealed that mixtures containing Z-Sep+ sorbent provided the best clean-up results. LC-MS/MS analysis was used for quantification, and the method was validated according to SANTE/11813/2017 guidelines. The validated method was successfully applied to the analysis of 15 real dried hop samples, providing data on detected residues.

Summary: The study characterized jute activated carbon (JAC) for the first time and evaluated its effectiveness in cleaning up a mixture of 181 multiclass pesticide residues. Results showed that JAC had lower matrix effect and higher signal-to-noise ratio, as well as satisfactory pesticide recoveries in various food matrices. Compared to commercial GCB, JAC demonstrated superior cleanup effectiveness.

Summary: In this study, a green analytical method was developed to extract and detect 20 analytes in edible herbs, including 10 neonicotinoid insecticides and their 10 major toxic metabolites. The QuEChERS and LC-MS/MS techniques were used for the analysis of these analytes in five edible herbs. Among the 109 herbal samples tested, 90 samples were found to be positive for the residues of the 20 neonicotinoid insecticides and their metabolites, with the range of total neonicotinoid insecticides residue being 0.26-139.28 μg/kg. Acetamiprid, imidacloprid, and their metabolites were the most frequently detected compounds in herbs. Positive correlations were observed between imidacloprid/acetamiprid and their metabolites in Lycii fructus and Citri reticulatae pericarpium. Therefore, the residue of neonicotinoid insecticides in edible herbs should be given more attention in the future.
