RESUMO
An effective analytical method for pesticides multiresidue determination in grape samples was developed and validated. A modified quick, easy, cheap, effective, robust and safe (QuEChERS) method was used to extract the target compounds. Several sorbent materials were tested for the clean-up step using dispersive solid phase extraction (d-SPE) and Florisil® was selected. Samples extracts were evaporated before injection in the gas chromatography with mass spectrometry (GC-MS) system in order to improve detectability. Recoveries from blank samples spiked at 0.04, 0.3 and 1.0 mg kg−1 ranged from 95 to 102% with relative standard deviation (RSD) from 1.3 to 19.7%. Method limits of detection (LODm) and quantification (LOQm) ranged from 0.006 to 0.012 and 0.02 to 0.04 mg kg−1, respectively. The positive matrix effect caused an increase in the peak areas of all compounds and matrix matched calibration curve linearity (coefficient of determination, r2) was higher than 0.98 for all target analytes. The validated method was successfully applied for the determination of 19 pesticides in grape samples.
