Determination of Pesticide Residues in Teas via QuEChERS Combined with Dispersive Liquid–Liquid Microextraction Followed by Gas Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry
Chromatographia(2017)
摘要
In this study, an effective gas chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry method was developed to determine 47 pesticide residues in tea. Sample preparation involved a quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe (QuEChERS) procedure, wherein the sample is extracted by acetonitrile and cleaned up with multiwalled carbon nanotubes and primary secondary amine adsorbents; dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (DLLME) was subsequently performed using carbon tetrachloride as extractive solvent and the extract obtained by QuEChERS as dispersive solvent. Factors influencing DLLME efficiency, including type and volume of extractive solvent, volume of dispersive solvent, and extraction time were evaluated. For validation purposes, recovery studies were performed using matrix blanks fortified with pesticides at three concentrations, namely, 10, 50, and 100 μg kg −1 . Most of the analytes were recovered at an acceptable range of 70‒120% and RSDs ≤ 20% were acquired for green tea, oolong tea, black tea, and puer tea. Limits of quantification of pesticides obtained for these teas were sufficiently low, and most pesticides levels were lower than 10 μg kg −1 , which satisfies the requirements for maximum residue levels (MRLs) as prescribed by the European Community. Twenty-four commercially available tea samples were analyzed using this optimized method. Results revealed that the contents of chlorpyrifos and alpha-HCH from different green tea samples exceed the MRLs, and chlorpyrifos, bifenthrin, lambda-cyhalothrin, and cypermethrin are among the most frequently detected pesticides in teas.
