PG - 55-63 LID - 10.1007/s40201-018-0296-4 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Pesticides are a reason for popular concern due to their possible unfavorable results on human safety. Most pesticide residues are present in food owing to the direct application of a pesticide to a crop. The aims of this study were; development a multiresidue method for analysis of 81 pesticides in tomato using GC/MS, and detection and quantitation of the studied pesticides in tomato samples gathered from various stores of Iran. METHODS: The pesticides were assessed concurrently in a single run applying GC/MS after extraction with QuEChERS method. Homogenized tomato samples were weighed into centrifuge tubes. The studied pesticides were extracted using acetonitrile, followed by the addition of a mixture of anhydrous magnesium sulfate and sodium acetate. In order to remove excess water and other components of tomato a combination of primary secondary amine and magnesium sulfate was applied, and then the extracted components were analyzed by GC-MS. RESULTS: The calibration curves for all analytes were linear in the range of 20-200 ng/g with a determination coefficient (R(2)) in the range between 0.993 and 0.999. The LODs and LOQs were in the range between 2.5-6.7 and 7.5-20 ng/g respectively, and the mean recoveries obtained for three fortification levels (25,50 and 100 ng/g -five replicates each) were 72-116% with RSD < 20%. Six residues were found in 31 (20.7%) samples. Iprodione was the most common detected residues (6.0%), followed by permethrine (4.7%), esfenvalerate (4.7%), chlorpyrifos (3.3%), diazinon (2.0%), and penconazole (1.3%). CONCLUSIONS: Among the detected pesticides, only Iprodione, permethrine, chlorpyrifos and diazinon are registered for tomato production in Iran. With exception of Chlorpyrifos and diazinon the concentrations of iprodione and permethrine were found below the maximum residue levels (MRLs) established by Iranian National Standard Organization (INSO). Esfenvalerate and penconazole are not registered for tomato production in Iran. Therefore, it is necessary to control and management of their residues in tomato.
