Abstract
In this study, different extraction procedures based on the QuEChERS method were compared for the multiresidue determination of pesticides in orange juice by ultra high performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC–MS/MS). After choosing preliminary conditions, an experimental design was carried out with the variables C18, PSA, NaOH and CH3COONa to optimize the sample preparation step. The validation results of the validation were satisfactory, since the method presented recoveries between 70% and 118%, with RSD lower than 19% for spike levels between 10 and 100μgL−1. The method limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) ranged from 3.0 to 7.6μgL−1 and from 4.9 to 26μgL−1, respectively. The method developed was adequate for the determination of 74 pesticide residues in orange juice.
