Utilizing a Rapid Multi-Plug Filtration Cleanup Method for 72 Pesticide Residues in Grape Wines Followed by Detection with Gas Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry

Abstract

A convenient and fast multi-residue method for the efficient identification and quantification of 72 pesticides belonging to different chemical classes in red and white grape wines has been developed. The analysis was based on gas chromatography tandem quadrupole mass spectrometric determination (GC–MS/MS). The optimization strategy involved the selection of the amount of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and the number of cleanup procedure cycles for multi-plug filtration cleanup (m-PFC) to achieve ideal recoveries and reduce the sample matrix compounds in the final extracts. The optimized procedure obtained consistent recoveries between 70.2 and 108.8% (70.2 and 108.8% for white wine, and 72.3 and 108.4% for red wine), with relative standard deviations (RSDs) that were generally lower than 9.2% at the three spiking levels of 0.01, 0.05 and 0.1 mg/kg. The linearity was studied in the range between 0.002 and 0.1 mg/kg using pesticide standards prepared both in pure solvent and in the presence of the matrix, showing coefficients of determination (R2) higher than 0.9495 for all the pesticides. To improve accuracy, matrix-matched calibration curves were used for calculating the quantification results. Finally, the method was used successfully for detecting pesticide residues in commercial grape wines.

Detecting different pesticide residues on Hami melon surface using hyperspectral imaging combined with 1D-CNN and information fusion

“…With the emphasis on food safety, it is, therefore, necessary to accurately detect pesticide residues on the surface of Hami melon. The traditional chemical detection methods for pesticide residues mainly include Ultrahigh-Performance Liquid Chromatography–Hybrid, immunoassay, and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry ( Garcia-Febrero et al., 2014 ; Liu et al., 2021 ; Jia et al., 2022 ). Chemical detection methods for pesticide residues have high accuracy and sensitivity.…”
