[PMID: 38703485 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126184] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2024] [Revised: 04/23/2024] [Accepted: 04/27/2024] [Indexed: 05/06/2024]
Abstract
Efficient enrichment is crucial for the highly sensitive monitoring of phenylurea herbicides (PUHs) in various environmental waters. In this work, a stable core-shell spherically magnetic polyimide covalent organic framework (COF) was synthesized via a simple template-mediated precipitation polymerization method under mild conditions using tri(4-aminophenyl)amine (TAPA) and 3,3',4,4'-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride (BPDA) as the building units (denoted as Fe3O4@TAPA-BPDA). The Fe3O4@TAPA-BPDA exhibits remarkable adsorption performance for PUHs with an optimized adsorption time of only 10 min. The adsorption of PUHs by Fe3O4@TAPA-BPDA followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir model. Furthermore, hydrogen bonding, halogen bonding, hydrophobic interaction, electro donor-acceptor interaction and π-π interactions are identified as the dominant mechanisms contributing to excellent adsorption performance. It was demonstrated that halogen bonds play an important role in the adsorption of substances containing chlorine atoms. The Fe3O4@TAPA-BPDA is easy to operate and highly regenerable. A simple magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) method based on the Fe3O4@TAPA-BPDA was then developed for the rapid extraction of five PUHs in real samples, coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) determination. The analytical method developed has a linear range of 0.5-50 ng/mL, and the limit of detection (LOD) ranges from 0.06 to 0.10 ng/mL. The method exhibits good accuracy with recoveries ranged from 74.5 % to 111.4 %. The analytical method was successfully applied to the highly sensitive detection of PUHs in environmental water samples, which highlighting the potential application of the Fe3O4@TAPA-BPDA in the sample pretreatment.

Abstract
Neonicotinoids (NEOs) are the most widely used insecticides globally. They can contaminate or migrate into foodstuffs and exert severe neonic toxicity on humans. Therefore, lots of feasible analytical methods were developed to assure food safety. Nevertheless, there is a lack of evaluation that the impacts of food attributes on the accurate determination of NEOs. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of sample preparation methods regarding 6 categories of plant-derived foodstuffs. Currently, QuEChERS as the common strategy can effectively extract NEOs from plant-derived foodstuffs. Various enrichment technologies were developed for trace levels of NEOs in processed foodstuffs, and multifarious novel sorbents provided more possibility for removing complex matrices to lower matrix effects. Additionally, detection methods based on liquid chromatography were summarized and discussed in this review. Finally, some limitations were summarized and new directions were proposed for better advancement.

Talanta 2024; 273:125870. [PMID: 38460423 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.125870] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2023] [Revised: 02/29/2024] [Accepted: 03/01/2024] [Indexed: 03/11/2024]
Abstract
Pyroxasulfone is a selective, systemic, pre-emergence herbicide which acts to inhibit weeds in potato, coffee, sugar cane, eucalyptus, and soybean plantations, among others. This active ingredient was classified by Brazilian legislation as a very dangerous product for the environment, and to date there are no studies involving the development of extraction methods for monitoring this compound in environmental matrices. Therefore, the objective of this study was to optimize and validate liquid-liquid extraction with low temperature purification followed by a gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry analysis to determine this herbicide in honey samples. The results showed that the best extractor phase was acetonitrile and ethyl acetate (6.5 mL:1.5 mL), with recovery rates close to 100% and relative standard deviations below 11%. The validation proved that the extraction method was selective, precise, accurate and linear in the range of 3-225 μg kg-1, reaching a limit of quantification of 3 μg kg-1, with a -25.95% matrix effect. Monitoring on real samples did not reveal episodes of environmental contamination with pyroxasulfone residue.

Abstract
A method based on novel restricted access materials (RAMs) for the determination of neonicotinoid pesticides in Goji samples using offline and online solid phase extraction (SPE) coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography (LC). RAMs were synthesized using poly(chloromethylstyrene-co-divinylbenzene) (PVBC/DVB) microspheres as substrate, styrene (St) and n-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) were first copolymerized on the interior to construct adsorption sites, and sulfobetaine methacrylate (SBMA) was then polymerized on the exterior to form exclusion sites via two-step surface initiated-atom transfer polymerization. The prepared PVBC/DVB@poly(St-co-NVP)@poly(SBMA) RAMs could efficiently extract neonicotinoid pesticides and automatically exclude proteins. Under the optimized conditions, the developed methods of offline (magnetic SPE and SPE column) and online extraction coupled with LC both using PVBC/DVB@poly(St-co-NVP)@poly(SBMA) RAMs as the extractant, exhibit a wide linearity, low limits of detection and limit of quantification and good inter-day and intra-day precision with satisfactory recoveries. Among these methods, online extraction coupled with LC based on novel RAMs exhibits clear advantages for the determination of neonicotinoid pesticides in Goji samples has clear advantages, such as simple operation by direct injection, short extraction times, and high accuracy with less human error.

Abstract
Pesticide residues in rice have attracted widespread public attention in recent years. This research aimed to monitor the residues of 17 pesticides and their 3 metabolites in 120 samples of rice and rice flour collected from markets in China using the QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, Safe) pretreatment method combined with high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). The monitoring results showed that isoprothiolane, tricyclazole, fenoxanil, and tebuconazole were detected in the rice samples, with detection frequencies of 33.3%, 17.5%, 8.3%, and 2.5%, and concentrations ranging from 0.02 to 0.1 mg/kg (median = 0.04), 0.01 to 0.17 mg/kg (median = 0.14), 0.04 to 0.06 mg/kg (median = 0.05), and 0.01 to 0.02 mg/kg (median = 0.01), respectively. The residues of these four pesticides were all below their corresponding maximum residue levels (MRLs) set by China. Additionally, isoprothiolane, tricyclazole, fenoxanil, and tebuconazole were detected in rice flour samples, with detection frequencies of 74.2%, 55.0%, 5.0%, and 2.5%, and concentrations ranging from 0.01 to 0.1 mg/kg (median = 0.04), 0.01 to 0.04 mg/kg (median = 0.02), 0.01 to 0.06 mg/kg (median = 0.03), and 0.02 to 0.04 mg/kg (median = 0.03), respectively. Furthermore, the chronic dietary intake risk (HQc), the acute dietary intake risk (HQa), and cumulative dietary risk (HI) for all the detected pesticides were evaluated and found well below 100%, indicating that the dietary intake risks would not pose potential health risks.

Abstract
Mycotoxins are toxic compounds that are formed as secondary metabolites by some fungal species that contaminate crops during pre- and postharvest stages. Exposure to mycotoxins can lead to adverse health effects in humans, such as carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, and teratogenicity. Hence, there is a need to develop analytical methods for their determination in vegetable oils that possess high sensitivity and selectivity. In the current review (116 references), the recent developments, current challenges, and perspectives in sample preparation techniques and chromatographic determination are summarized. It is impressive that current sample preparation techniques such as dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME), quick, easy, cheap, rugged, and safe method (QuEChERS) and solid phase extraction (SPE) have exhibited high extraction recoveries and minimal matrix effects. However, a few studies have reported signal suppression or enhancement. Regarding chromatographic techniques, high sensitivity and selectivity have been reported by liquid chromatography coupled to fluorescence detection, tandem mass spectrometry, or high-resolution mass spectrometry. Furthermore, current challenges and perspectives in this field are tentatively proposed.

Abstract
There is an urgent need to prepare advanced functional materials for extraction and enrichment of trace organic pollutants from different samples. In this work, two novel phosphate-functionalized porous organic polymers (DBP-POP and DPP-POP) were synthesized for the first time. Compared with phosphate-free counterpart, both phosphate-functionalized POPs showed excellent adsorption performance for the neonicotinoids due to the hydrogen bonding, π-π interaction and hydrophobic interaction. For ease of separating the sorbent from solution, magnetic DBP-POP (M-DBP-POP) was further prepared as sorbent to extract neonicotinoids from environmental water and lemon juice samples prior to their determination by high performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detection. Under optimal conditions, the detection limits (S/N = 3) of the method were 0.01-0.08 ng mL-1 for water and 0.03-0.10 ng mL-1 for lemon juice. The recoveries were in the range of 80.0% to 113.0% with relative standard deviation less than 10.6%. This work demonstrated the feasibility of phosphate-functionalized POPs for adsorption applications.

Abstract
A novel urea-based magnetic porous organic frameworks Fe3O4@UPOFs (ETTA-PPDI) was synthesized by a simple polymerization reaction under mild conditions. The adsorbent displayed desirable adsorption performance for phenylurea herbicides (PUHs) with optimized adsorption time of only 4 min. The adsorption capacities of the adsorbent for PUHs ranged from 47.30 to 111.93 mg g-1. A magnetic solid-phase extraction based on Fe3O4@UPOFs combined with high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) was established for the efficient determination of six PUHs in food samples (wheat, edible oil and cucumber), with determination coefficient (R2) ≥ 0.9972. The LODs of the method were in the range of 0.003-0.07 μg kg-1 and recoveries ranged from 82.00 to 112.53%. The relative standard deviations were lower than 6.7%. The newly prepared adsorbent displayed great application prospects for the efficient enrichment of trace phenylurea herbicides in complex food matrices.

Abstract
A Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe (QuEChERS) pretreatment technique combined with HPLC-MS/MS was established to detect 26 pesticides in traditional Chinese medicinal leeches. The sample was extracted by acetonitrile solution with sodium acetate-0.1% (v/v) acetic acid as a buffer system, then cleaned up by a mixture of 750 mg of MgSO4, 150 mg of C18, and 150 mg of PSA, separated by an ACQUITY BEH C18 column, and determined in the dynamic multiple reaction mode. Under the optimized conditions, the peak areas of the 26 pesticides in leeches showed good linearity (r > 0.99) between their mass concentrations from 1 to 100 μg/L. At the spike levels of 10, 20, and 100 μg/kg, the recoveries of 26 pesticides in leeches were 72.9-101.6% with an RSD of 1.1-12.8%, an LOQ of 10 μg/kg, and an LOD of 0.1-5.4 μg/kg. This method is easy, rapid, sensitive, and practical and meets the requirements of pesticide residue detection standards.

Abstract
Since neonicotinoid insecticides are now the most extensively used insecticides worldwide, there are increasing cases of neonicotinoid poisoning. A rapid and sensitive method was developed for the determination of ten neonicotinoid insecticides and a metabolite 6-chloronicotinic acid in human whole blood. The types and amounts of extraction solvent, salting-out agent, and adsorbent in the QuEChERS method were optimized by comparing the absolute recoveries of 11 analytes. The separation was performed on an Agilent EC18 column with the gradient elution with 0.1% formic acid in water and acetonitrile as the mobile phase. The quantification was achieved by Q Exactive orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry under parallel reaction monitoring scan mode. The 11 analytes showed good linearity with R2 ≥ 0.9950, LODs ranging from 0.01 μg/L to 0.30 μg/L, and LOQs from 0.05 μg/L to 1.00 μg/L. The recoveries ranged from 78.3% to 119.9% at low, medium, and high spiked concentrations of blank blood, with matrix effects ranging from 80.9% to 117.8%, inter-day RSDs from 0.7% to 6.7%, and intra-day RSDs from 2.7% to 9.8%. The method was furthermore applied to a real case of neonicotinoid insecticide poisoning to demonstrate its feasibility. The proposed method is suitable for the rapid screening of neonicotinoid insecticides in poisoned human blood in the field of forensic science, as well as monitoring of neonicotinoid insecticide residues in humans in the field of environmental safety, compensating for a lack of studies on neonicotinoid insecticide determination in biological samples.

Simultaneous Determination of Neonicotinoid and Carbamate Pesticides in Freeze-Dried Cabbage by Modified QuEChERS and Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry. Foods 2023; 12:foods12040699.

Abstract
Dehydrated vegetables are popular in instant foods, but few reports have focused on their pesticide residues. This research developed and validated a modified QuEChERS method combined with ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to determine 19 kinds of neonicotinoid and carbamate pesticides in freeze-dried cabbage. Herein, acetonitrile/water (v/v = 2:1) was selected in the extraction step. Meanwhile, 4 g anhydrous magnesium sulfate and 1 g sodium chloride were applied to the partitioning step. Dispersive solid-phase extraction sorbents were selected, and liquid chromatography conditions were further optimized for dealing with the matrix effect. The limits of quantification ranged from 1.0 to 10.0 μg/kg. The validation results were acceptable, with average recoveries of 78.7-114.0% and relative standard deviations below 14.2%. The method recoveries were closely related to the volume proportion of water in the extractant. Finally, the developed method was applied to real freeze-dried cabbages and four pesticides (propamocarb, imidacloprid, acetamiprid, and thiacloprid) were detected in six samples.

Abstract
The residual levels of 25 monitored pesticides in 6,229 brown rice samples obtained from the 17 provinces of the three main rice-growing regions in China during 2016–2020 were analyzed, and the cumulative risks of chronic and acute exposure to pesticides for the Chinese population were assessed. The QuEChERS extraction coupled with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry for simultaneous determination of 25 pesticide residues in brown rice was developed and validated with good accuracy and precision (recoveries of 70%–120% and RSD ≤20%). The overall detection rate and over the maximum residue limit (MRL) rate of pesticides in brown rice decreased from 39.15% and 3.59% in 2016 to 34.11% and 1.53% in 2020, respectively. The Yangtze River basin had a higher detection rate and over MRL rate (43.14% and 2.88%, respectively) compared with the Southeast Coastal region (37.28% and 2.77%) and the Northeast Plain (11.28% and 0.17%). Isoprothiolane (13.57%) and carbendazim (8.32%) were the most frequently detected in rice samples. Pesticide residues exceeding the MRLs were found most often in triazophos (0.75%) and isocarbophos (0.51%). The risk ranking of pesticide residues based on the ranking matrix showed that carbofuran, methamidophos, and isocarbophos had the highest residual risk scores of 25.09, 25.01, and 25.00, respectively. 17.7% of rice samples contained two or more pesticide residues. The cumulative risk assessments based on the relative potency factor (RPF) approach revealed that the cumulative risks of chronic and acute dietary exposure to organophosphorus, neonicotinoid insecticides, and triazole fungicides from rice ranged from 7.43 × 10−4 to 3.36 × 10−2, which were not considered of health concern. The study provides national-scale information on the contamination levels and health risks of pesticide residues in rice, which can help develop continuous monitoring programs for pesticide residue contamination in rice in China.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop a convenient, fast, effective and safe analytical method (QuEChERS) to determine 198 pesticide residues in multi-source date palm fruits using gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS). The calibration curves for most pesticides were linear in the range of 15-150 µg/kg, with r2 values higher than 0.9934 and the relative standard deviation for all pesticides was ≤20%. The mean recovery rate of pesticides was 70-120% and limits of detection (LODs) and limits of quantification (LOQs) were in the range of 5-14 µg/kg and 14-40 µg/kg, respectively. The validated procedure was used to monitor pesticide residues in 30 fresh date samples. It could be concluded that the modified QuEChERS extraction method was efficient in analysing pesticide residues in dates palm and none of the samples contained residues above the MRLs.

Abstract
Fluopyram is a fungicide and nematicide that belongs to the chemical group of benzamides, which act as succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs) on the mitochondrial respiratory chain of fungi. Despite being well known in several countries, there are few studies involving the optimization and validation of extraction methods for determining fluopyram in water samples. Therefore, this study aimed to optimize and validate liquid-liquid extraction with low-temperature purification (LLE-LTP) to determine fluopyram fungicide in water samples using high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection (HPLC-DAD). A two-level full factorial design was employed to optimize LLE-LTP which enabled achieving a recovery rate close to 100% and relative standard deviations (RSD) < 10.0%. The validation showed that the extraction method may be considered selective, precise, accurate, and linear in the range of 6.0 to 200 μg L-1. The LOD and LOQ were 4.0 and 6.0 μg L-1, respectively, proving the efficiency of this method for trace level determination of this fungicide in water samples. LLE-LTP coupled to HLPC-DAD analysis showed a matrix effect of less than 8% and it was applied in monitoring 20 environmental water samples, but no fluopyram residue was detected in the samples.

Abstract
RATIONALE Oil crops and products are important food materials in daily life. Pesticide residues in food could directly and indirectly endanger human health. However, the method for detecting multiple pesticides simultaneously is limited. In this study, an easy and efficient method for the simultaneous determination of 38 pesticides in oil crops and products was established and validated. METHODS All samples were treated with a modified QuEChERS procedure followed by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC/MS/MS) analysis. Mass spectrometry was performed in positive and negative ion electrospray ionization mode. The mobile phase consisted of 0.1% formic acid in water and 0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile. The column used was a Poroshell 120 EC-C18 and the flow rate was 0.3 mL/min. RESULTS The method was validated so that the calibration curves for all pesticides had good linearity in the concentration range of 10-1000 μg/L with correlation coefficients (R2 ) above 0.9945. The recovery rates were between 70.1 and 120.0%, with relative standard deviations (RSDs) (n = 6) ≤20.0%. The limits of quantification (LOQs) ranged from 0.5 to 10 μg/kg, limits of detection (LODs) ranged from 2.0 to 30 μg/kg, and the matrix effect (ME) ranged from -18.77 to 19.33%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The method proved to be accurate, sensitive, and stable. It can be used for rapid screening and confirmation of 38 pesticide residues in oil crops and products which takes 10 min for sample extraction and clean-up with less requirement of solvents. This study provides a technical basis for regulatory analysis and quality supervision of foods.

Abstract
Antarctica has seen an increase in scientific research and tourism, and anthropogenic activities such as incineration of waste products and fuel combustion for energy and transportation are potential contamination sources to the ecosystem. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are common products of incomplete combustion of organic compounds and could be among accumulating contaminants in Antarctica. Thus, this study sought to develop a sensitive dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction method for the determination of 15 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by gas chromatography mass spectrometry. Parameters that were relevant to the extraction method were carefully optimized and validated using aqueous standard solutions. The optimum method recorded detection limits in the range of 0.20-6.1 µg/L for the analytes. Spike recovery experiments were carried out on artificial seawater, rock-soil, and moss samples, using matrix matching calibration to mitigate effects of the sample matrices. The samples analyzed included seawater, lake, rock-soil, moss, seaweed, and feces samples all collected from the Horseshoe and Faure Islands in Antarctica. The percent recovery results obtained for the samples spiked at different concentrations ranged between 86 and 115%.

Abstract
AbstractA method based on isotope dilution liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (ID-LC/MS/MS) was established as a candidate reference method for accurate determination of neonicotinoid pesticides, imidacloprid, clothianidin, and thiamethoxam in kimchi cabbage. Their deuterated isotopes, imidacloprid-d4, chlothianidin-d3, and thiamethoxam-d4 were used as internal standards. The combination of HLB and Carb solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridges was used to clean-up kimchi cabbage extracts. The ID-LC/MS/MS conditions were optimized with fortified kimchi cabbage samples for validation. Imidacloprid in the ERM-BC403 cucumber sample (0.627 ± 0.026) mg/kg was analyzed with the developed method, and the measured value (0.604 ± 0.028) mg/kg agreed within their uncertainties. The developed method was employed for the certification of kimchi cabbage reference materials prepared in this laboratory. The measured values of imidacloprid, clothianidin, and thiamethoxam are (0.860 ± 0.020) mg/kg, (0.524 ± 0.012) mg/kg, (0.787 ± 0.014) mg/kg, respectively. The standard deviation of the measured values for ten bottles was < 1%, and the measured values after one year agreed with their first measurements indicating reliable repeatability and reproducibility of the developed method.

Abstract
Due to the globalization of food production and distribution, the food chain has become increasingly complex, making it more difficult to evaluate unexpected food changes. Therefore, establishing sensitive, robust, and cost-effective analytical platforms to efficiently extract and analyze the food-chemicals in complex food matrices is essential, however, challenging. LC/MS-based metabolomics is the key to obtain a broad overview of human metabolism and understand novel food science. Various metabolomics approaches (e.g., targeted and/or untargeted) and sample preparation techniques in food analysis have their own advantages and limitations. Selecting an analytical platform that matches the characteristics of the analytes is important for food analysis. This review highlighted the recent trends and applications of metabolomics based on "foodomics" by LC-MS and provides the perspectives and insights into the methodology and various sample preparation techniques in food analysis.

A single-step preconcentration procedure using the in-situ formation of modified nickel–zinc-layered double hydroxides (LDHs) prior to high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is investigated for the determination of neonicotinoid insecticide residues in honey samples. The LDHs could be prepared by the sequential addition of sodium hydroxide, sodium dodecyl sulfate, nickel nitrate 6-hydrate and zinc nitrate 6-hydrate, which were added to the sample solution. The co-precipitate phase and phase separation were obtained by centrifugation, and then the precipitate phase was dissolved in formic acid (concentrate) prior to HPLC analysis. Various analytical parameters affecting extraction efficiency were studied, and the characterization of the LDHs phase was performed using Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Under optimum conditions, the limit of detection of the studied neonicotinoids, in real samples, were 30 μg L−1, for all analytes, lower than the maximum residue limits established by the European Union (EU). The developed method provided high enrichment, by a factor of 35. The proposed method was utilized to determine the target insecticides in honey samples, and acceptable recoveries were obtained.

Abstract
Aim: THC-COOH is the major metabolite of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol commonly tested in urine to determine cannabis intake. In this study, a method based on dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction was developed for testing THC-COOH in urine. Materials & methods: Hydrolyzed urine specimens were extracted via dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction with acetonitrile (disperser solvent) and chloroform (extraction solvent). Derivatization was performed with N,O-Bis(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide with 1% trichloro(chloromethyl)silane. Analysis was performed by GC-MS/MS. Results: The method showed acceptable linearity (5-500 ng/ml), imprecision (<10.5%) and bias (<4.9%). Limits of detection and quantitation were 1 and 5 ng/ml, respectively. Twenty-four authentic samples were analyzed, with 22 samples being positive for THC-COOH. Conclusion: The proposed method is more environmentally friendly and provided good sensitivity, selectivity and reproducibility.

Efficient Matrix Cleanup of Soft-Gel-Type Dietary Supplements for Rapid Screening of 92 Illegal Adulterants Using EMR-Lipid dSPE and UHPLC-Q/TOF-MS. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2021; 14:ph14060570. [PMID: 34203614 PMCID: PMC8232078 DOI: 10.3390/ph14060570] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2021] [Revised: 06/11/2021] [Accepted: 06/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
An efficient matrix cleanup method was developed for the rapid screening of 92 illegal adulterants (25 erectile dysfunction drugs, 15 steroids, seven anabolic steroids, 12 antihistamines, 12 nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), four diuretics, and 17 weight-loss drugs) in soft-gel-type supplements by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole/time of flight-mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q/TOF-MS). As representative green chemistry methods, three sample preparation methods (dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME), “quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe” dispersive solid-phase extraction (QuEChERS-dSPE), and enhanced matrix removal-lipid (EMR-Lipid) dSPE) were evaluated for matrix removal efficiency, recovery rate, and matrix effect. In this study, EMR-Lipid dSPE was shown to effectively remove complicated matrix contents in soft-gels, compared to DLLME and QuEChERS-dSPE. For the rapid screening of a wide range of adulterants, extracted common ion chromatogram (ECIC) and neutral loss scan (NLS) based on specific common MS/MS fragments were applied to randomly collected soft-gel-type dietary supplement samples using UHPLC-Q/TOF-MS. Both ECICs and NLSs enabled rapid and simple screening of multi-class adulterants and could be an alternative to the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) method. The developed method was validated in terms of limit of detection (LOD), precision, accuracy, recovery, and matrix effects. The range of LODs was 0.1–16 ng/g. The overall precision values were within 0.09–14.65%. The accuracy ranged from 81.6% to 116.6%. The recoveries and matrix effects of 92 illegal adulterants ranged within 16.9–119.4% and 69.8–114.8%, respectively. The established method was successfully applied to screen and identify 92 illegal adulterants in soft-gels. This method can be a promising tool for the high-throughput screening of various adulterants in dietary supplements and could be used as a more environmentally friendly routine analytical method for screening dietary supplements illegally adulterated with multi-class drug substances.

Abstract
This review specifically examines the development of sample preparation methods for residue analyses of neonicotinoid insecticides in agricultural and environmental matrices. Pesticide residue analysis is fundamentally important to ensure the safety of foods and processed foods of plant and animal origin, and to preserve the environment, particularly soil and water. For the development of pesticide residue analysis, the sample preparation process is an important key to maximizing the analytical performance of highly sensitive and accurate chromatographic instruments and to acquiring reliable analytical results. This review outlines sample preparation methods that have been proposed to date for extraction of neonicotinoids that might remain in a complicated sample matrix in quantitatively trace amounts, and for cleaning up, to the greatest extent possible, the interfering components that coexist in the sample extract.

Abstract
Zirconium(Ⅳ)-based metal-organic framework (MOF)-UiO-66-NH2 was fabricated to adsorb the imidacloprid and thiamethoxam in fruit samples before analysis using UPLC-MS/MS. The UiO-66-NH2 was confirmed by SEM, FTIR, and XRD. Key experimental parameters were investigated by response surface methodology (RSM). The desirability recovery of imidacloprid was 94.52% under optimum conditions (mount of adsorbent = 52.48 mg, volume of eluent = 5.18 mL, pH = 9, extraction time = 15 min). The desirability recovery of thiamethoxam was 93.57% under optimum conditions (mount of adsorbent = 50.58 mg, volume of eluent = 2.6 mL, pH = 5.65, extraction time = 11.94 min). Under the optimal conditions, the actual recovery of imidacloprid and thiamethoxam was 92.39% and 94.37%, respectively. Besides, the method was applied successfully to detect imidacloprid and thiamethoxam in different fruit samples. The results demonstrated that the UiO-66-NH2 is an excellent adsorbent for the extraction imidacloprid and thiamethoxam from fruit samples.
