“…cicla (Swiss chard), and Solanum tuberosum (potato) were analyzed for the presence of 16 selected organochlorine pesticide residues using the Quick Easy Cheap Effective Rugged and Safe (QuEChERS) extraction technique followed by determination/quantitation using gas chromatography coupled to high‐resolution time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (GC‐HRT/MS). The QuEChERS method is the most effective method in analysis of pesticides in food sources (Alcântara et al, 2019 ; Lehotay et al, 2010 ; Musarurwa et al., 2019 ; Santana‐Mayor et al., 2019 ). Human risk assessment studies were also done to determine any potential risks to an average person consuming the vegetables.…”

Food safety has become a primary public concern worldwide, due to pesticide residues in food resulting from direct application of pesticides to crops. Pesticides are mainly applied in the farming industry to control vectors that reduce the quantity and quality of farm produce.The pesticides are sprayed directly on the crops/vegetables and the soil surface. Some pesticide residues are persistent and can remain on the surface of the crops and/or absorbed from soil into the plant system. Consumption of farm produce, therefore, becomes the primary source of exposure of the general population to pesticides. The pesticide metabolites in the human body have been linked to a wide variety of health effects, ranging from acute to chronic toxicity; such as cancer, endocrine disruption, and neurological effects (Taiwo, 2019).

“…In 2003, Anastassiades et al developed a fast, reliable, and relatively easy extraction method that uses little solvent and minimal collection vessels to provide acceptable analyte recovery for a wide range of pesticides in various foods, using QuEChERS (An et al, 2020;Anastassiades et al, 2003;Budak et al, 2020;Cao et al, 2015;Costa et al, 2014;He et al, 2015;Lima et al, 2017;Rejczak & Tuzimski, 2017;Rizzetti et al, 2016;. This method mainly involves salting-out assisted Liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) with acetonitrile followed by a dispersive solid-phase extraction (d-SPE) cleanup (Alcantara et al, 2019;Martinez-Dominguez et al, 2015). The 'd-SPE' step is very important because it can remove co-extractives, minimizes matrix effects (MEs), and helps ensure the integrity of the chromatographic system (Musarurwa et al, 2019;Varela-Martinez et al, 2019).…”

In this study, a new fluorinated methacrylamide (MACF) was synthesized and evaluated as an adsorbent in the dispersive solid-phase extraction for the effective determination and extraction of 20 organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) from ginseng samples using the QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, safe) method coupled with GC-MS/MS. The properties of MACF were characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and high-resolution 19 F NMR. MACF, chitosan, primary and secondary amine, octadecylsilane, graphitized carbon black, Z-Sep, Z-Sep + , and EMR-Lipid were compared in terms of extraction efficiency. The best results were obtained when MACF was used. Matrix-matched calibration was employed for quantification. All the OPPs exhibited good linearity (r 2 > 0.9969) with the concentration at their respective concentration ranges. The limits of detection were 1.5-3.0 μg/kg, and the limits of quantification were 5.0-10.0 μg/kg. The trueness of the 20 pesticides at four spiked levels ranged from 86.1 to 111.1%, and the relative standard deviation was less than 11.3%. The modified QuEChERS method using MACF as the adsorbent was sensitive, reliable, and costeffective and could be used for the determination of 20 OPP residues in ginseng.

“…For pesticides, this trend has been initiated about 20 years ago, whereas in the last 10 years, this approach has been more and more applied also in the field of veterinary drugs and mycotoxins. [1][2][3][4][5][6] The next step seems to be the optimization of multi-group procedures encompassing, for example, environmental pollutants and veterinary drugs in food at one time. The higher number of analytes (from dozens to hundreds) and the very different types of involved matrices (e.g., food of animal and vegetal origin) hamper at present the possibility that multi-group methods can also assure quantitative results that are needed to verify the product compliance with the relevant specification limits.…”

“…Accordingly, a remarkable effort has been made to progressively replace single class with multiclass protocols, because this is a cost‐effective way to improve the efficiency and efficacy of the current official system of residue control, ensuring the determination of a wide number of compounds with only few methods. For pesticides, this trend has been initiated about 20 years ago, whereas in the last 10 years, this approach has been more and more applied also in the field of veterinary drugs and mycotoxins 1–6 . The next step seems to be the optimization of multi‐group procedures encompassing, for example, environmental pollutants and veterinary drugs in food at one time.…”

A multi-group screening method to detect residues of veterinary drugs in meat and environmental contaminants in wheat flour has been developed using liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole-Orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS). The procedure was tested for over 300 representative compounds (173 veterinary drugs, 122 pesticides and 9 mycotoxins) analysing in parallel negative and positive (spiked) samples according to European validation rules. The Screening Target Concentrations (STCs) were chosen conservatively with respect to the method purposes. Interpretation of results was based on retention time, mass accuracy of precursor and MS 2 spectral library. Evaluating the percentage of false negative results, 280 out of the 304 analytes were detectable at the STCs (false compliant rate ≤ 5%). In wheat flours, incurred levels of mycotoxins, deoxynivalenol and 3-acetyldeoxynivalenol, higher than STCs, were frequently found, whereas in meat, the most detected veterinary drugs were antibiotics generally at negligible concentrations (<10 μg kg −1). Finally, seven test materials from proficiency test schemes were successfully tested.
