Abstract:

A method was developed to determine 20 pesticide residues in red beet by modified QuEChERS method combined with gas chromatography-electron capture detector. The pesticide residues in the samples were extracted by acetonitrile and cleaned up by dispersive solid-phase extraction using MWCNTs, after filtration, they were separated on RTX-1 chromatographic column, determined by gas chromatography, and quantified by the external standard method. The temperature-programmed conditions of gas chromatography were tested, and the effects of different extraction solvents and purification methods on the detection results were investigated. The results showed that under the optimized conditions, good linear relations were obtained in the range of 0.01-0.50 mg/L (Atrazine was in the range of 0.03-0.50 mg/L), the correlation coefficients (R2) were all higher than 0.99, and 20 pesticides were well separated. The pre-treatment condition was as follow: acetonitrile: sample was 2:1, and the amount of MWCNTs was 10 mg. The average recoveries of red beet were 62.0%-116.5% at three spiked concentration levels with relative standard deviations (RSDs) of 1.9%-10.9%, the limits of detection were 0.12 μg/L - 0.063 mg/L, and the limits of quantitation were 0.4 μg/L - 0.21 mg/L. This method is simple, rapid, accurate, and could be used for the determination of organochlorine and pyrethroid residues in red beet.
