AOAC Official Method 2007.01
Pesticide Residues in Foods by Acetonitrile Extraction and Partitioning with Magnesium Sulfate
Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry and Liquid Chromatography/Tandem Mass Spectrometry
First Action 2007
[Applicable for the following pesticides in grapes, lettuces, and oranges: atrazine, azoxystrobin, bifenthrin, carbaryl, chlorothalonil, chlorpyrifos, chlorpyrifos-methyl, l -cyhalothrin (incurred in lettuces), cyprodinil, o,p ¢-DDD, dichlorv os, endosulfan sulfate,ethion (incurred in oranges), imazalil, imidacloprid,kresoxim-methyl (incurred in grapes), linuron, methamidophos,methomyl, permethrins (incurred in lettuces) procymidone,pymetrozine, tebuconazole, thiabendazole (incurred in oranges),tolylfluanid (degraded in lettuces), and trifluralin. The were reprentative pesticide analytes chon in reprentative matrixes,and the method is expected to be applicable to many other similar pesticides and matrixes. Limits of quantitation were demonstrated to be <10 ng/g.]
See Tables 2007.01A–E for the results of the interlaboratory study supporting acceptance of the method.
A. Principle
The QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe)method us a single-step buffered acetonitrile (MeCN) extraction and salting out liquid–liquid partitioning from the water in the sample with MgSO 4. Dispersiv e-solid-pha extraction (dispersive-SPE) cleanup is done to remove organic acids, excess water, and other components with a combination of primary condary amine (PSA) sorbent and MgSO 4; then the extracts are analyzed by mass spectrometry (MS) techniques after a chromatographic analytical paration. Figure 2007.01 outlines the protocol in a box format. In brief, a well-chopped food sample along
with 1 mL of 1% acetic acid (HOAc) in MeCN and 0.5 g anhydrous MgSO 4/NaOAc (4/1, w/w) per g sample are added to a centrifuge tube or bottle, which is shaken and centrifuged. A portion of the MeCN extract (upper layer) is added to anhydrous MgSO 4/PSA sorbent (3/1, w/w; 200 mg per 1 mL extract), mixed, and centrifuged. This final extract is transferred to autosampler vials for analysis by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) to identify and determine a wide range of pesticide residues. To achieve <10 ng/g detection limits in modern GC/MS, large volume injection (LVI) of 8 m L is typically needed, or the final extract can be concentrated and solvent exchanged to toluene (4 g/mL), in which ca 2
m L splitless injection is ud.
Both GC/MS and LC/MS/MS techniques are prone to matrix effects in pesticide residue analysis, albeit for different reasons [Erney, D.R., Gillespie, A.M., Gilvydis, D.M., & Poole, C.F. (1993)J. Chromatogr. 638, 57–63; Hajslova, J., & Zrostlikova, J. (2003) J.Chromatogr. A 1000, 181–197; Alder, L., Luderitz, S., Lindtner, K.,& Stan, H.J. (2004) J. Chromatogr. A 1058, 67–79]. To account for the effects, matrix-matched calibration was conducted (calibration standards in solvent solution may also be ud if matrix effects are shown not to occur). Due to the situation that some laboratories had LVI capability and others did not, the necessary amounts of matrix blank(s) and final extract volume was different for some laboratories than others. Depending on the water content of the matrix, a 15 g sample typically yields 11–14 mL of initial MeCN extract after centrifugation. In dispersive-SPE, roughly half of the extract is lost to the powders, thus about 6–7 mL of final extract can be expected for a 15 g sample. Two options were provided in the protocol to account for the different situations among the laboratories.

Imazalil was incurred in the oranges unbeknownst to the SD.
In Option A, if the laboratory had LVI capability, then 1 or 2 mL extracts were taken for dispersive-SPE (the volume depended on the analyst preference and the type of centrifuge and tubes available in the laboratory). The final extract volume was 0.5 mL if 1 mL was taken for dispersive-SPE, and 1 mL if 2 mL underwent the cleanup step. In either ca, two 15 g blank samples were ud for the matrix blank (0-standard) and 6 matrix-matched calibration standards (5, 10, 50, 100, 250, and 1000 ng/g equiv alent concentrations). For dispersive-SPE of the matrix blanks, either 7 parate tubes using the same 1–2 mL extract volumes as the test samples could have been ud, or 1–2 dispersiv
e-SPE tube(s) with 7-fold greater extract volume(s).
In Option B, if LVI is not available for GC/MS, then »30 mL of matrix blank extract was needed after dispersive-SPE cleanup to prepare the matrix-matched calibration standards (or $60 mL initial extract). In this ca, 6 matrix blanks of 15 g each were extracted along with the test samples to provide enough blank extract volume, which were combined, and ven 8 mL aliquots were distributed to 7 dispersive-SPE tubes containing 0.4 g PSA + 1.2 g anhydrous MgSO4.

Note: Tables 4 and 5 of the collaborative study [J. AOAC Int. 90, 485(2007)] list the analytical instrumentation and sources of sample preparation materials ud by each laboratory in the study. Further information appears in the full report. Since the time of the collaborativ e study, at least 3 v endors, United Chemical Technologies (Bristol, PA, USA), Restek (Bellefonte, PA, USA) and Supelco (Bellefonte, PA, USA) hav e introduced commercial dispersive-SPE products for QuEChERS and other applications. See Table 4 [J. AOAC Int. 90, 485(2007)] for sources of analytical instruments.

The analytical column is a 30 m, 0.25 mm id, 0.25 m m film thickness (5%phenyl)-methylpolysiloxane (low bleed) analytical column (DB-5ms or equiv alent). Set He head pressure on the column to be 10 psi or constant flow to be 1.0 mL/min with systems capable of electronic pressure/flow control. After an appropriate time for solv ent delay, u an appropriate ov en temperature program, for example, starting at 75°C for MeCN extracts or 100°C for toluene ramped to 150°C at 25°C/min, then to 280°C at 10°C/min, and hold for 10 min. All collaborators had much experience in pesticide residue analysis and were free to u their own analytical conditions provided that peak shapes were Gaussian, peak widths at half heights were <5 s, and signal-to-noi ratio (S/N) of the quantitative ion for the pesticides at 10 ng/g equivalent concentrations in the sample were >10. For qualitative purpos (which were not the focus of this study), at least 3 ions yielding relativ e abundances that reasonably match a contemporaneously analyzed reference standard are typically needed to make an analyte identification.
(b) Liquid chromatograph/tandem mass spectrometer.— A triple quadrupole, ion trap, or other LC/M
S/MS instrument may be ud provided it is capable of electrospray ionization (ESI) in the positive mode with computerized instrument control/data collection and has an AS. An injection volume (5–100 m L) will be determined for each instrument to achieve S/N > 10 for the quantitation ion for a 10 ng/g equivalent sample concentration. As in GC/MS, the collaborators had much experience in the analysis of pesticides and were free to u their own conditions. Suggested LC conditions, howev er, include a 15 cm long, 3.0 mm id, 3 m m particle size C18 column, flow rate of 0.3 mL/min, and gradient elution with an initial condition of 25% MeOH in 5 mM formic acid solution taken linearly in 15 min to 90% MeOH in 5 mM formic acid solution and held for 15 min. A short C18 guard column must be ud to protect the analytical column, and a bypass valve must be ud before the MS instrument to av oid introduction of the early and late eluting nonanalyte components into the detector. The MS/MS conditions were optimized in each laboratory using direct infusion into the ESI source to prov ide highest S/N for the quantitation ion of each LC-type analyte from a single MS/MS transition. A cond transition with reasonably matching relative abundance ratios vs a contemporaneously analyzed reference standard is typically needed for qualitative purpos.
(c) Centrifuge(s).—Capable of holding the 50 mL centrifuge tubes or bottles ud for extraction and 10–15 mL graduated centrifuge tubes or 2 mL mini-tubes ud in dispersiv e-SPE. Determine the rp
m ttings that yield a given relative centrifugal force (RCF), and ensure that maximum ratings of the centrifuge, tube/bottles, and rotors for the instrument are not exceeded.
(d) Balance(s).—Capable of accurately measuring weights from
0.05 to 100 g within ±0.01 g.
(e) Freezer.—Capable of continuous operation <–20°C.
(f) Furnace/oven.—Capable of 500°C operation.
