“…The presence of fatty acids produces severe interferences with gas chromatography of pesticides, and their removal is necessary prior to analysis. In recent years, there has been a great amount of interest in using SPE to remove sample matrix components from extracts, with most research focused on reducing or eliminating fatty acids − ,, . Florisil, strong anion-exchange sorbents (SAX) , , and weak anion-exchange sorbents including primary−secondary amine (PSA) , , aminopropyl (−NH 2 ) , , and diethylaminopropyl (DEA) have been investigated for removal of fatty acids naturally occurring in food samples.…”
