Abstract

This study intended to develop a method for the determination of 50 pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables by sample purification with QuEChERS of combing multi-walled carbon nanotube and ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). Because of its unique hollow structure and large specific surface area, multi-walled carbon nanotube has excellent adsorption properties, which make it shows superior purification efficiency in the sample pre-treatment process of pesticide residue analysis of fruits and vegetables. This paper selected and determined the type and usage of multi-walled carbon nanotubes through optimization experiments. Based on the QuEChERS method, this paper improved the sample purification effect. This paper extracted fruit and vegetable samples with 0.1% formic acid acetonitrile solution. Meanwhile, this paper detected 50 pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables through ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). The results demonstrated that they were 0.002-0.010mg/kg for the limits of quantification (LOQs) for 50 compounds, 71%-105% recoveries of low, medium and high supplemental levels within the linear range and 3.1%-11.2% relative standard deviation (RSD). Good linearity of the Matrix matching standard curve was observed for all calibration curves with correlation coefficients (r) > 0.99. This method was rapid, high sensitivity and accuracy. It is suitable for rapid detection and analysis of pesticide residues in fruit and vegetable samples.
