Abstract

Agricultural products are often contaminated with trace amounts of pesticide residues. To ensure food safety, a reliable, sensitive, and efficient method that accurately identifies pesticide residues in a wide variety of foodstuffs is needed. This study applied a modified QuEChERS extraction technique, coupled with high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) to optimize the identification of the cyflufenamid, a new broad-spectrum fungicide with unclear mode of action in toxicity, in 12 foodstuffs. The method has been validated according to the European Union SANTE/12682/2017 guidelines for its linearity, limit of detection (LOD), and limit of quantification (LOQ), indicating an excellent performance. The recovery of cyfluenamid in all matrix were ranged between 70.8% and 117.8%, with relative standard deviation (RSD) <15% which is much lower compared to other methods. The method has been used for determine cyfluenamid in foodstuffs followed the ISO17025:2017 measurement technical note, which demonstrated it is suitable for routine quantitative analysis of cyflufenamid in most of the popular commercial agricultural products.
