Abstract:

Avermectins is a kind of frequently used pesticide. The most widely used detection technique for the determination of avermectins residues in food and environmental samples is liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry. Based on this, multi-residue analytical methods with selective sample treatment methodologies in different samples have been developed. This review focuses not only on these common multi-residue methods but also on specific single-residue methods for the analysis of avermectin residues in food and environmental samples. This study summarizes analytical methods in the last decade for the determination of avermectins residues in food and environmental samples, including the applications of avermectin and its occurrence state in food and environmental samples, the sample preparation methods (including extraction and clean methods), analytical methods (including HPLC, ELISA and LC-MS/MS) as well as its quantitation mode and methods to reduce matrix interference. Finally, the limitations of multi-residue methods, the future perspectives and the trends for avermectins residues analysis in food and environmental samples are reviewed. The study will be helpful for future research in the field of determination of avermectins residues in tobacco.
