Assessing Washing Methods for Reduction of Pesticide Residues in Tomatoes and Other Produce Using LC/MS and GC/MS Authors

چکیده
Various washing protocols have been assessed for efficacy using Agilent LC/MS and GC/MS instrumentation to measure pesticide residues in tomatoes and other produce. Washing procedures in water and various solutions, with and without sonication, were evaluated in the laboratory. In general, the effect of sonication depended on the washing treatment and on the pesticide. A separate experiment measured pesticide residues in contaminated samples before and after being washed in a pilot plant flume, which resulted in reductions of 40 to 90% after one minute in water at room temperature.

Introduction: In recent years, due to the increase in the use of pesticides in agricultural products and its entry into the human food chain, there has been an increase in concerns about the health of food among people. Therefore, the purpose of conducting this research is to validate the analysis method. 25 pesticide residues in rice using LC-MS/MS. Methods: In this research, a simultaneous an...
متن کاملModification and re-validation of the ethyl acetate-based multi-residue method for pesticides in produce
The ethyl acetate-based multi-residue method for determination of pesticide residues in produce has been modified for gas chromatographic (GC) analysis by implementation of dispersive solid-phase extraction (using primary-secondary amine and graphitized carbon black) and large-volume (20 muL) injection. The same extract, before clean-up and after a change of solvent, was also analyzed by liquid...
متن کاملAnalysis of pesticide residues in fruit and vegetables with ethyl acetate extraction using gas and liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometric detection.
A multiresidue method based on extraction with ethyl acetate has been used at the Swedish National Food Administration since 1989 to monitor pesticide residues in fruit and vegetables. The method has been continuously adjusted, resulting in simple and quick analyses of pesticide residues. To recover basic pesticides, the addition of an alkali is necessary. The addition of sodium hydrogen carbon...
