To develop an ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method for the determination of eleven organophosphorus and ten neonicotinoid pesticides in vegetables.
Pesticides in sample were extracted with acetonitrile, cleaned up using a sorbent mixture of magnesium sulfate anhydrous, PSA and C18. The separation was performed on a HSS T3 column. Detection was operated on multiple reaction monitoring scan under positive electrospray ionization. Matrix-matched external standard calibration curves were used for quantification.
The linear rang of calibration curves ranged from 0.50-100 ng/ml. Good linearities (r>0.999) were obtained for all 21 pesticides. The average recoveries were 76.0%-119.3% with RSD<10% for all the analytes. The limits of detection and quantification were 0.02-1.7 μg/kg and 0.06-5.7 μg/kg, respectively. This method was applied to analyze 76 vegetable samples from market. Nine target pesticides were detected in 26 samples, with a contents of 0.012-3.16 mg/kg.
This method is simple, sensitive, and accurate, and it is suitable for the determination of organophosphorus and neonicotinoid pesticide residues in vegetables.
