AB  - This paper describes a comparison of adaptations of the QuEChERS (quick, easy, 
      cheap, effective, rugged and safe) approach for the determination of 14 
      organochlorine pesticide (OCP) residues in strawberry jam by concurrent use of 
      gas chromatography (GC) coupled to electron capture detector (ECD) and GC tandem 
      mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS). Three versions were tested based on the original 
      QuEChERS method. The results were good (overall average of 89% recoveries with 
      15% RSD) using the ultrasonic bath at five spiked levels. Performance 
      characteristics, such as accuracy, precision, linear range, limits of detection 
      (LOD) and quantification (LOQ), were determined for each pesticide. LOD ranged 
      from 0.8 to 8.9 microg kg(-1); LOQ was in the range of 2.5-29.8 microg kg(-1); and 
      calibration curves were linear (r(2)>0.9970) in the whole range of the explored 
      concentrations (5-100 microg kg(-1)). The LODs of these pesticides were much lower 
      than the maximum residue levels (MRLs) allowed in Europe for strawberries. The 
      method was successfully applied to the quantification of OCP in commercially 
      available jams. The OCPs were detected lower than the LOD.
