A novel magnetic nanoporous carbon (Fc-Fe/Ni@MPC) was fabricated from ferrocene contained metal-organic framework (MOF) and employed as multifunctional QuEChERS adsorbent for determination of triazine herbicides in various fruit and vegetable samples before LC-MS/MS. The prepared Fc-Fe/Ni@MPC not only maintained the original ordered morphology from MOF precursor, but also exhibited high graphitization and good superparamagnetism through pyrolysis. This sorbent afforded adsorption capacity of 1163.25 mg/g, 157.83 mg/g, 157.69 mg/g and 25.10 mg/g towards chlorophyll, lycopene, β -carotene and lutein via hydrophobic, π-π and hydrogen bonding interactions. The method gave negligible matrix effects of −14.2 % ∼ 10.8 %, low detection limits of 0.001–0.04 μg/kg and satisfactory recoveries of 80.2 %–112 % in orange, citrus, apple, watermelon, tomato, carrot and lettuce samples, when performing 2 mg of this single sorbent within just 15 s. This work revealed the prospect of Fc-Fe/Ni@MPC as versatile and efficient QuEChERS adsorbent for pretreatment of triazine herbicides in large kinds of pigment-rich food samples.

The establishment of an efficient method for the analysis of drug residues in animal urine facilitates the real-time monitoring of drugs used in the production of animal-derived food. A modified QuEChERS extraction–liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) method was established for the determination of 47 banned drug and related chemical residues in livestock urine. The sample was extracted with acetonitrile by converting the acid-base environment. The sample cleanup effects of seven solid phase extraction cartridges and two EMR-Lipid products were compared, and three materials, including graphitized carboxyl multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), PSA, and C 18 , were selected as QuEChERS adsorbents from 24 materials. All analytes showed good linearity, with correlation coefficients ( R 2 ) greater than 0.9936. Low limits of quantification could be obtained, ranging from 0.2 to 5.5 ng/mL. The average recoveries at low, medium, and high spiked levels were in the range of 70.8–114.9 %, with intra-day precision ranging from 2.4 % to 11.2 % and inter-day precision ranging from 4.5 % to 16.1 %. Swine urine and bovine urine samples collected from different farms were effectively analyzed using the developed method, and metronidazole was detected in three swine urine samples.

The dissipation and residues of tembotrione in corn field application were investigated using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method. The average recoveries of tembotrione in maize, corncob, and straw were in the ranges of 98–107% with relative standard deviations (RSDs ≤9.3%), respectively. The recoveries of M5 was in the ranges of 90–108% in all three matrices of maize, with RSDs were 3.3–12.8%. The LODs for tembotrione and M5 in maize were 0.85 μg/L and 1.0 μg/L, 0.84 μg/L and 0.43 μg/L in corncob, 0.94 μg/L and 1.5 μg/L in straw, respectively. The LOQs of the method in maize grain, corncob and straw were 0.01, 0.01 and 0.05 mg/kg for both analytes, respectively. The dissipation of tembotrione in straw was in compliance with the first-order dynamic equation, with half-lives of 1.18–1.23 days at Beijing and Heilongjiang. Total residue of tembotrione in maize grain and corncob matrix were both below 0.02 mg/kg, lower than the max residue limit (MRL) recommended by european food safety authority (EFSA). Risk quotients (RQs) of this pesticide was assessed via comparing national estimated daily intake with acceptable daily intake . The dietary intake risk of tembotrione residue in maize was very low for all groups of Chinese residents. These data could provide scientific data and strategies and facilitate Chinese government to establish the MRLs of tembotrione.

Since neonicotinoid insecticides are now the most extensively used insecticides worldwide, there are increasing cases of neonicotinoid poisoning. A rapid and sensitive method was developed for the determination of ten neonicotinoid insecticides and a metabolite 6-chloronicotinic acid in human whole blood. The types and amounts of extraction solvent, salting-out agent, and adsorbent in the QuEChERS method were optimized by comparing the absolute recoveries of 11 analytes. The separation was performed on an Agilent EC18 column with the gradient elution with 0.1% formic acid in water and acetonitrile as the mobile phase. The quantification was achieved by Q Exactive orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry under parallel reaction monitoring scan mode. The 11 analytes showed good linearity with R 2 ≥ 0.9950, LODs ranging from 0.01 μg/L to 0.30 μg/L, and LOQs from 0.05 μg/L to 1.00 μg/L. The recoveries ranged from 78.3% to 119.9% at low, medium, and high spiked concentrations of blank blood, with matrix effects ranging from 80.9% to 117.8%, inter-day RSDs from 0.7% to 6.7%, and intra-day RSDs from 2.7% to 9.8%. The method was furthermore applied to a real case of neonicotinoid insecticide poisoning to demonstrate its feasibility. The proposed method is suitable for the rapid screening of neonicotinoid insecticides in poisoned human blood in the field of forensic science, as well as monitoring of neonicotinoid insecticide residues in humans in the field of environmental safety, compensating for a lack of studies on neonicotinoid insecticide determination in biological samples.

Carbazole derivatives (CZDs) are an important class of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds which have been widely used in photoelectric materials, dyes, medicine, supramolecules and other fields. The ecological risks of CZDs released into environment during the production and product utilization have gradually attracted people's attention. However, for the lack of analytical methods of CZDs in environment, the levels of CZDs entering the environment remain unclear. Herein, an analytical methodology for simultaneous measuring 13 CZDs associated with photoelectric materials in sediment samples has been established by using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS) in combination with a QuEChERS pretreatment technique. The parameters of the sample pretreatment and UHPLC-HRMS analysis were optimized. The established method was validated by evaluating its recovery, accuracy, matrix effect, limits of method detection (LODs), and so on. The instrument detection exhibits a linear response within concentration range of 1 to 1000 µg/L, and the LODs were ranged from 0.005 to 0.165 µg/kg. The average recoveries for the majority of CZDs were in the ranges of 82.9% ∼ 107.0% (spiked level 25 µg/kg), 74.1% ∼ 114.5% (spiked level 10 µg/kg) and 53.3% ∼ 123.7% (spiked level 2 µg/kg), respectively, and the relative standard deviations of all spiked levels were between 0.47% and 11.30%. The developed methodology was applied to the analysis of twenty sediment samples. A CZD of 2-methoxycarbazole (2-MOCZ) has been firstly detected in the sediments with the concentration up to1.4 µg/kg, indicating the environmental occurrence of CZDs and alerting to their potentially ecological risks in the environment.

An improved QuEChERS method based on magnetic nanomaterials was established, and coupled with ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography and a quadrupole electrostatic field orbitrap mass spectrometer, enabling non-targeted screening and quantitative analysis of commonly used pesticide and veterinary drug residues inBrassica rapa chinensis. The combination of magnetic PSA and magnetic multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was utilized for purification of 121 organic compounds spanning a wide range of polarities. Spiking experiments showed that the developed non-target screening workflow exhibited convincing identification results, with over 89.3% of chemical substances being screened out even at spiking levels as low as 2 μg/kg. The linear ranges of these target substances were between 1 and 200 μg/kg, with determination coefficients all exceeding 0.99. The limits of quantification were between 2 μg/kg and 10 μg/kg. The average recovery rates were in the range of 61.7% to 121.6%. Nineteen compounds were confirmed (meeting all the restriction conditions) and quantified fromBrassica rapa chinensiscollected from vegetable-planting bases in Jiangsu Province. The results indicated that the magnetic bead-based pretreatment strategy can be utilized for the simultaneous screening and quantitative analysis of pesticide and veterinary drug residues inBrassica rapa chinensis.

Organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs) have been widely used in consumer products to prevent fire spread. However, once released into the atmospheric environment, they may accumulate in humans and undergo metabolic transformation and excretion by urine. In order to clarify the human exposure to OPFRs, a quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe method for the simultaneous determination of urinary OPFRs and their metabolites by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem triple quadrupole mass spectrometry was developed. After the optimization by a single-factor or orthogonal experiment, the satisfactory recovery (87.8–119%), matrix effect (−8.88–9.29%), method quantitation limit (3.66–159 ng/L), and inter-day repeatability (1.24 − 10.6%) of most analytes were achieved in artificial urine samples. Based on a monitoring test by the developed method, we propose that urinary bis(1-chloro-2-propyl) phosphate and di- p -cresyl phosphate could be used to trace human exposure to tris(1-chloro-2-propyl) phosphate and tricresyl phosphate, respectively. Most importantly, this is the first study to reveal that 4-hydroxyphenyl diphenyl phosphate (4-OH-TPHP) was dominantly presented in its conjugated form rather than its free form in urine ( p = 0.037). Overall, the obtained results contribute a relatively rapid method to help conduct large-scale urine monitoring for revealing the human exposure and risk of OPFRs.

An improved QuEChERS method combined with Multi-Plug Filtration Cleanup (m-PFC) clean-up procedure was developed for the simultaneous determination of 16 different sulfonamides in forage grasses using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS). The forage grass sample was extracted with 0.1 mol L−1 Na2EDTA-Mcllvaine buffer and acetonitrile solution, purified by the Navo U-QuE column tube, separated by Agilent ZORBAX Eclipse Plus C18 column, and analyzed by MRM (multiple reaction monitoring) mode and the internal standard method was utilized for quantification. The 16 different sulfonamides display good linearity within the range of 0.5–50 μg L−1 (R2 > 0.9967), the limit of detection was 0.02–0.5 μg kg−1, and the limit of quantification was 0.05–1.0 μg kg−1. Under the additive amounts of 1, 2, and 10 μg kg−1, the recoveries were in the range of 72.3–116.9%, and the relative standard deviation was between 1.4% and 10.3%. The presented method showed the advantages of simple operation, excellent selectivity and high sensitivity. It was well-suited for both qualitative and quantitative analyses of sulfonamides in forage grass. Overall, this method provided a scientific basis for risk assessment, enforcement of quality and safety standards, and detection of sulfonamide residues in forage grass for import and export.

BACKGROUND Penicillic acid (PA) is produced by Aspergillus spp. and Penicillium spp., which are common postharvest and storage fungi of fruits. PA can be of concern for human health because of its toxicity and high fruit consumption by the population. However, no data on PA occurrence in various fruits have yet been reported. A quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe (QuEChERS) approach for PA determination in various fruits was developed and applied to explore PA incidence in fruits. RESULTS The modified QuEChERS procedure with extraction by ethyl acetate and purification by multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), primary secondary amine (PSA) and octadecyl silane (C18) was established to determine PA in various fruits by high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). The average recoveries were 72.9–102.2% and relative standard deviations (RSDs) were 1.3–7.9%. A total of 161 fruits samples, including kiwi, apple, peach, grape and mandarin/orange, were collected in southern China. The incidence of PA in fruits was 14.9% and the levels of PA contamination were 0.200–0.596 μg kg −1 . Our results suggested that orange/mandarin, grape and kiwi were favorable matrices for Aspergillus spp. and Penicillium spp. to produce PA, rather than peach and apple. CONCLUSION To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report about PA contamination in various fruits in China. Our study emphasizes the necessity of the current established method, which could be used for continuous monitoring of PA and reducing the health risk to Chinese consumers. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry

In this study, magnetic graphene was used as modified quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe (QuEChERS) adsorbent for the determination of organochlorine pesticide (OCPs) residues in tobacco. To achieve the optimum conditions of modified QuEChERS procedure toward target analytes, several parameters affecting the clean-up efficiency including the amount of the adsorbent and clean-up time were investigated. Under the optimized conditions, a method for the determination of 26 OCPs residues in tobacco was established by coupling the modified QuEChERS procedure to on-line gel permeation chromatography–gas chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (on-line GPC–GC–MS 2 ). The limits of detection of proposed method for 26 OCPs residues ranged from 0.01275 to 3.150 ng/g. And good linearities of the proposed method were obtained with coefficients of determination ( R 2 ) greater than 0.9985 for all target analytes. Good reproducibility of method was obtained as intra- and inter-day precisions, the relative standard deviations were less than 11.1 and 15.0%, respectively. The apparent recoveries were in the range of 64–126% at different concentrations for real samples. Compared with the reported methods for the determination of OCPs residues in tobacco, the proposed method has the advantages of simple to operate, low cost and high clean-up ability. Finally, the method was successfully applied to the analysis of OCPs residues in real samples.

Preservatives can be used in natural and organic cosmetics to prevent quality deterioration during distribution and use, but the ingredients permitted are limited in the Republic of Korea. A method of simultaneous analysis was developed to monitor natural and organic cosmetics distributed online for the presence of 15 illegally used preservatives. Considering the complexities of the cosmetic matrices, an optimized sample preparation method is essential. Therefore, we developed the optimal purification method by comparing three preparation methods: QuEChERS, high-speed centrifugation, and solid-phase extraction (SPE). The SPE method, which exhibited the most favorable results in matrix reduction, was employed. To establish the SPE-ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection method, factors such as the mobile phase and column were optimized. The optimal separation of the 15 preservatives was observed under the following conditions: mobile phase A comprising 0.1% phosphoric acid in water with 0.5 mM sodium hexanesulfonate and a C 8 column (1.7 μm, 2.1 × 150 mm) as the stationary phase. The linear correlation coefficients were > 0.9998, and the limits of detection and quantitation ranged from 0.05 to 0.67 and 0.15 to 2.02 μg mL −1 , respectively. Using the established analytical method, illegally used preservatives were detected in products claimed to be natural and organic cosmetics sold on the market, and these findings were subsequently verified using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Six out of 47 samples contained phenoxyethanol and parabens. Therefore, this method will help manage the addition of illegal preservatives to natural and organic cosmetics.

In this study, a reliable and fast method using a quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe (QuEChERS) extraction procedure without any clean-up step was developed for simultaneous extraction of 15 mycotoxins, i.e., aflatoxin B1, aflatoxin B2, aflatoxin G1, aflatoxin G2, aflatoxin M1, aflatoxin M2, deoxynivalenol, 3-acetyldeoxynivalenol, 15-acetyldeoxynivalenol, de-epoxy-DON, zearalenone, α-zearalenol, β-zearalenol, α-zearalanol, and β-zearalanol, from eggs. High-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry was used to separate and detect all of the analytes. Electrospray ionization at both negative and positive modes and multiple reaction-monitoring mode were applied to detect these analytes. The main factors, such as extraction time, extraction solvent, evaporation temperature, and pH of the solvent, were carefully optimized to improve the extraction efficiency. The coefficients of determination of the calibration curves ranged from 0.9884 to 0.9998. The recoveries of most of the analytes were between 71.3% and 105.4% at three concentration levels, except for AFB1 that showed recovery rates of not more than 67.5% in all concentrations. The repeatability and intra-lab reproducibility of this method were both lower than 15% and 25%, respectively. The limit of quantification ranged from 0.2 μg/kg to 5 μg/kg. The matrix effect was evaluated and reduced by the use of matrix-matched calibration curves. The validated method was applied in a pilot study to analyze mycotoxin contamination in 12 eggs, and trace amounts of deoxynivalenol, 15-acetyldeoxynivalenol, aflatoxin B1, aflatoxin G2, zearalenone and β-zearalenol were detected in these samples.
