Abstract

We performed a single-laboratory validation study of a simple and simultaneous determination method for pesticide residues in meat using LC-MS/MS. Water was added to the sample and the mixture was homogenized. Next, pesticides were extracted with acetonitrile containing 1 vol% formic acid using a homogenizer, and salted out with magnesium sulfate, trisodium citrate and sodium chloride. After centrifugation, the acetonitrile layer was made up to standard volume and analyzed by LC-MS/MS. This method was assessed by performing recovery tests in retail bovine, swine and chicken muscle samples spiked with the 132 pesticides at the levels of 0.01 and 0.04 μg/g. Among them, 125 pesticides satisfied the Japanese method validation guideline criteria in bovine, 120 in swine and 127 in chicken.
