Abstract
A liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method has been developed for the direct quantitation of residues of 13 azole fungicides in wine and has been successfully applied to 103 wine samples. The method utilizing 25 transitions is highly sensitive and specific with centrifugation as the only sample work-up step. Precision was better than 14% and accuracy ranged between 80 and 120%. Quantitation limits (LOQs) ranged between 0.25 (penconazole) and 7.5 ng/mL (triadimefon). Since the LOQs achieved are at least four times lower than the maximum residue levels for azole-fungicides in wine prescribed, the method presented here can be conveniently used as a screening assay for azole-residues in wine samples.

Abstract
The effects of six clarification agents (egg albumin, blood albumin, bentonite plus gelatin, charcoal, PVPP, and silica gel) on the removal of residues of four fungicides (cyprodinil, fludioxonil, pyrimethanil, and quinoxyfen) applied directly to a racked red wine, elaborated from Monastrell variety grapes from the D.O. region of Jumilla (Murcia, Spain), are studied. The clarified wines were filtered with 0.45 microm nylon filters to determine the influence of this winemaking process in the disappearance of fungicide residues. Analytical determination of cyprodinil, fludioxonil and pyrimethanil was performed by gas chromatography with an alkaline thermoionic detector (NPD), whereas that of quinoxyfen using an electron captor detector (ECD). In general, and for all of the fungicides except quinoxyfen, blood albumin has proved to be the most effective clarifying agent in the removal of residues, whereas silica gel proved to be ineffective against all of the pesticides with the exception of fludioxonil. Quinoxyfen is the least persistent fungicide in the clarified wines and that which appears with highest frequency in the lees. In general, filtration is not an effective step in the elimination of wine residues. The greatest elimination after filtration is obtained in wines clarified with charcoal and the lowest in those clarified with PVPP.

Abstract
A method for simultaneous analysis of eight azolic fungicides: cyproconazole, diniconazole, tetraconazole, thiabendazole, flusilazole, triadimenol, triadimefon, carbendazim and the degradation product 2-aminobenzimidazole in wine samples is described. The compounds are isolated from the samples and concentrated by solid-phase extraction on polymeric cartridges. The determination is carried out by liquid chromatography with mass spectrometric detection in positive ionization and selected ion monitoring modes. The influence of parameters such as the mobile phase composition, column temperature, corona current and fragmentor voltage is studied and the proposed method is validated. Recoveries of the nine compounds added to wine samples range from 83 to 109%, with relative standard deviations below 10%. The quantitation limits are between 9 and 31 microg/L. Real wine samples are analyzed by the proposed method, also.

Abstract
The evolution of residual levels of four fungicides (cyprodinil, fludioxonil, pyrimethanil, and quinoxyfen) during the elaboration of three types of wine with maceration (traditional red wine, carbonic maceration red wine, and red wine of long maceration and prefermentation at low temperature) and two types of wine without maceration (rose and white) has been studied. The disappearance curves of each fungicide have been analyzed during the period of each winemaking process (21 days) and during the different enological steps involved in the elaborations. The residual levels of fludioxonil reduce most quickly during the winemaking processes without maceration, whereas the decrease in levels of pyrimethanil was the slowest in practically all cases (with and without maceration). During carbonic maceration winemaking, the decay constant of cyprodinil was greater than that of the other pesticides in all assays (time and steps).

Abstract
Hexaconazole [(RS)-2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)hexan-2-ol] is a potent triazole fungicide. The (-) isomer accounts for most of the fungicidal activity. The stereo- and/or enantioselective kinetics of hexaconazole were investigated in rabbits by intravenous injection. The concentrations of (-)- and (+)-hexaconazole in plasma, liver, and kidney tissue were determined by HPLC with a cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate)-based chiral stationary phase and by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. After intravenous administration of racemic hexaconazole (rac-hexaconazole) at 30 mg/kg, plasma, liver, and kidney levels of the (+)-enantiomer decreased more rapidly than those of the (-)-enantiomer. The (-)-/(+)-enantiomer ratio of the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC(0-infinity)) was 1.35. The total plasma clearance value (CL) of (+)-enantiomer was more than 1.3-fold higher than that of the (-)-hexaconazole. The enantiomeric ratio (ER) increased with time in plasma, liver, and kidney. Other pharmacokinetic parameters of the enantiomers were also different. These results indicate substantial stereoselectivity in the kinetics of hexaconazole enantiomers in rabbits.

Abstract
Microporous membrane liquid-liquid extraction (MMLLE) was coupled on-line with gas chromatography for the determination of pesticides in wine. The MMLLE-GC provided to be efficient and selective and the method was linear, repeatable and sensitive. The limits of detection ranged from 0.05 to 2.3 microg/l and the limits of quantification were 0.2-7.5 microg/l for all the analytes using FID as detector. With MS detection LODs in the range 0.03-0.4 and LOQs of 0.3-3.5 microg/l were achieved. The method was applied to the determination of pesticides in several red wines of different origin.

Abstract
A liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method has been developed for determining bitertanol, carboxin, flutriafol, pyrimethanil, tebuconazole and triadimefon. The evaluation of both atmospheric pressure interfaces (API), atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) and electrospray (ESI) using positive and negative ionization modes, clearly shows that the studied pesticides are more sensitive using APCI in positive mode. Two procedures based on solid-phase extraction (SPE) and stir-bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) have been assessed for extracting these compounds in grape. The recoveries obtained by SPE in samples spiked at the limit of quantification (LOQ) level ranged from 60 to 100% with relative standard deviation (R.S.D.s) from 7 to 17%. With the SBSE the recoveries obtained from samples spiked at LOQ level were between 15 and 100% and the R.S.D.s between 10 and 19%. The LOQs of most compounds are better by SPE (0.003-0.01 mg kg(-1)) than by SBSE (0.01 mg kg(-1) for all fungicides). Although SPE provided higher recoveries, lower R.S.D.s, best LOQs and is more rapid to carry out compared with SBSE, this last one has some advantages such as lower organic solvent consumption, and cleaner extracts. Results obtained applying both techniques to real samples are analogous.

Abstract
A solid-phase microextraction (SPME) method coupled to high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection (HPLC-DAD) for the analysis of six organochlorine fungicides (nuarimol, triadimenol, triadimefon, folpet, vinclozolin and penconazole) in wine was developed. For this purpose, polydimethylsiloxane-divinylbenzene-coated fibers were utilized and all factors affecting throughput, precision, and accuracy of the SPME method were investigated and optimized. These factors include: matrix influence, extraction and desorption time, percentage of ethanol, pH, salt effect and desorption mode. The performed analytical procedure showed detectability ranging from 4 to 27 microg l(-1) and precision from 2.4 to 14.2% (as intra-day relative standard deviation, RSD) and 4.7-25.7% (as inter-day RSD) depending on the fungicide. The results demonstrate the suitability of the SPME-HPLC-DAD method to analyze these organochlorine fungicides in red wine.

Abstract
A quantitative, selective and sensitive HPLC method for the analysis of 14 fungicides in white grapes for vinification is described. The proposed method is based on liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) and solid-phase extraction (SPE) followed by liquid chromatography and diode array detection (HPLC-DAD). Dichloromethane-acetone (75:25, v/v) was the most appropriate solvent mix for extracting fungicides in white grapes. Silica cartridges resulted the most appropriate for extract purification purposes. Quality parameters of the proposed multiresidue method presented good recovery (ca. 85% for almost all target compounds) and precision (between 1.5 and 16%), and detection limits lower than maxima residual limits set by the 76/895/ECC and 90/642/ECC Directive. Five different white grapes for vinification produced in Rias Baixas area in Galicia (NW Spain) were analyzed in order to assess the performance of the method with real samples and to determine whether the concentration of the pesticides used exceed their maxima residue levels (MRLs). Results showed that grape concentrations for those identified fungicides were lower than those established by European legislation.

Abstract
A method was developed to determine pesticides in wines. The pesticides were extracted from the wine using solid-phase extraction on a polymeric cartridge, and the coextractives were removed with an aminopropyl-MgSO(4) cartridge. Analysis was performed using capillary gas chromatography with electron impact mass spectrometric detection in selective ion monitoring mode (GC-MSD/SIM). Three injections are required to analyze all 153 organohalogen, organonitrogen, organophosphate, and organosulfur pesticides and residues. Pesticides were confirmed by retention times of the target ions and three qualifier-to-target ion ratios. Detection limits for most of the pesticides were less than 0.005 mg/L, and quantitation was determined from approximately 0.01 to 5 mg/L. Spike recoveries were performed by fortifying red and white wines at 0.01 and 0.10 mg/L. At the 0.01 ppm level, the spike recoveries were greater than 70% for 116 and 124 pesticides (out of 153) in red and white wines, respectively, whereas at the higher spike concentration of 0.10 mg/L, the recoveries were greater than 70% for 123 and 128 pesticides in red and white wines, respectively. The recoveries of less than 70% were most likely from pesticide polarity or lability, resulting in the inefficient adsorption of the pesticide to the polymeric sorbent, ineffective elution of the pesticide from the sorbent, or thermal degradation of the pesticide under GC-MSD conditions.

Abstract
A rapid multiresidue method for the simultaneous determination of 14 fungicides in soil was developed. Fungicides were exacted from soil, placed in small columns, by sonication-assisted extraction with ethyl acetate. The effect of residue residence time and soil moisture content on the fungicide recovery was studied. Residue levels in soil were determined by gas chromatography with electron-capture and nitrogen-phosphorus detection. Residue identities were confirmed by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry, in the selected ion monitoring mode. Recovery studies were carried out at 0.5, 0.1 and 0.05 microg/g fortification levels for each fungicide, and average recoveries obtained for these compounds ranged from 80 to 104% with relative standard deviations between 1 and 8%. The method is linear over the range assayed, 0.5-0.05 microg/g, and the detection limit for the fungicides studied varied from 2 to 10 microg/kg.

Abstract
A method based on matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) and gas chromatography to determine eight fungicides in fruits and vegetables is described. Fungicide residues were identified and quantified using nitrogen-phosphorus detection and electron-capture detection connected in parallel and confirmed by mass spectrometric detection. The method required 0.5 g of sample, C18 bonded silica as dispersant sorbent, silica as clean-up sorbent and ethyl acetate as eluting solvent. Recoveries from spiked orange, apple, tomato, artichoke, carrot and courgette samples ranged from 62 to 102% and relative standard deviations were less than 15% in the concentration range 0.05-10 mg kg(-1). Detection and quantitation limits ranged 3-30 microg kg(-1) and 10-100 microg kg(-1), respectively, with linear calibration curves up to 10 mg kg(-1). The analytical characteristics of MSPD compared very favourably with the results of a classical multiresidue method, which uses ethyl acetate and anhydrous sodium sulphate for the extraction.

Abstract
A solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method has been developed for the determination of triazole residues, such as triadimefon, propiconazole, myclobutanil and penconazole. The method has been successfully applied to the analysis of strawberries and wine samples. The procedure is solvent-free, simple and highly sensitive. Within-day and day-to-day RSDs ranged between 2-11% and 7-28%, respectively. Detection limits estimated at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3 ranged between 30 (propiconazole) and 100 ng/kg (triadimefon). Since the detection limits achieved by this method are well below the maximum residue levels for wine (or grapes) and strawberries recommended by the European legislation, it can be conveniently used as a low-cost rapid screening method for the contamination of the considered samples.

Abstract
A capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry method for determining procymidone and thiabendazole in apples, grapes, oranges, pears, strawberries and tomatoes is described. Separation is achieved using a buffer of formic acid-ammonium formate at pH 3.5 with 2% of methanol. Fungicide residues present in the sample are preconcentrated by both solid-phase extraction and injection of large sample volumes into the capillary by a stacking technique, to obtain lower detection limits. Ionization is performed at atmospheric pressure in an electrospray type source and detection is carried out using positive ionization and selected ion monitoring modes. The quantitation limits are 0.005 and 0.05 mg kg(-1), and the mean recoveries are 64 and 75% for thiabendazole and procymidone, respectively, with relative standard deviations below 12% (n=5). Real fruit and vegetable samples are analyzed by the proposed method showing that residues of both fungicides are frequently present.
