To establish a method for the determination of residues of mepiquat chloride, fluensulfone and its metabolite 3,4,4-trifluorobut-3-ene-1-sulfonic acid in plant-derived foods by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.
The samples were acidified, extracted with acetonitrile and the extract was purified by dispersive solid-phase extraction. Detection and confirmation were performed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, and quantification was carried out using matrix spiked calibration curves.
The matrix spiked calibration curves of all analytes showed good linearity in the range of 0.5–25.0 ng/mL, with correlation coefficients r2≥0.9917. For fluensulfone, the average recoveries at low, medium and high concentration levels in 11 kinds of matrices including citrus reticulata, spinach and soybean ranged from 84.0% to 114.2%, with relative standard deviations of 2.7%–13.8%. For 3,4,4-trifluorobut-3-ene-1-sulfonic acid, the average recoveries at the same concentration levels in 11 kinds of matrices including citrus reticulata and apple ranged from 84.6% to 116.4%, with relative standard deviations of 1.7%–14.0%. For mepiquat chloride, the average recoveries at the corresponding concentration levels in 11 kinds of matrices including citrus reticulata and apple ranged from 84.9% to 111.1%, with relative standard deviations of 1.9%–12.2%. In wet samples such as fruits and vegetables, the method limit of detection for all analytes was 0.004 mg/kg, and the limit of quantitation was 0.010 mg/kg. In dry samples such as soybean and rice, the limit of detection for all analytes was 0.010 mg/kg, and the limit of quantitation was 0.025 mg/kg.
This method is rapid, efficient and sensitive, and is suitable for the determination of residues of mepiquat chloride, fluensulfone and its metabolite in plant-derived foods.
