Abstract
The goal of this work was to evaluate the efficiency of several sorbents on removal fats from edible oils(olive, soya and sunflower) during the clean-up step for posterior determination of 165 pesticides byUHPLC-QqQ-MS/MS system. The extraction procedure employed in this work was the citrate version ofQuEChERS method followed by a step of freezing out with dry ice and clean-up evaluation using i) PSAwith magnesium sulfate (d-SPE); ii) magnesium sulfate and Z-sep sorbent (d-SPE); iii) Z-sep (columnSPE) and iv) Agilent Bond Elut QuEChERS Enhanced Matrix Removal-Lipid (EMR-Lipid). After evaluationof the recovery results at 10, 20 and 50 g kg−1, the EMR-Lipid showed important advantages comparingto the other sorbents evaluated, such as better recovery rates and RSD%. The method was validated atthe three concentrations described above. Analytical curves linearity was evaluated by spiking blank oilsamples at 10, 20, 50, 100 and 500 g kg−1. The method demonstrated good recoveries values betweenthe acceptable range of 70–120% and RSD% < 20 for most of evaluated pesticides. In order to evaluate theperformance of the method, this same procedure was employed to other oils such as soya and sunflowerwith very good results.
