BS EN 15637:2008EN 15637:2008 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard describes a method for the analysis of pesticide residues in foods of plant origin, such as

17、fruits, vegetables, cereals, nuts as well as processed products including dried fruits. The method has been collaboratively studied on a large number of commodity/pesticide combinations. 2 Principle The sample is extracted with methanol after addition of some water. After partition into dichlorometh

18、ane the organic phase is evaporated and the residue is reconstituted with methanol. Quantification of pesticide residues is performed by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometric detection, using electrospray ionisation. To achieve the required selectivity the mass spectrometer is operate

19、d in the selected reaction monitoring mode (SRM). 3 Reagents 3.1 General and safety considerations Unless otherwise specified, use reagents of recognised analytical grade. Take every precaution to avoid possible contamination of water, solvents, inorganic salts, etc. 3.2 Ammonium formate 3.3 Sodium

23、 allow the preparation of complex pesticide mixtures. The solvent used should not negatively influence the stability of the pesticides employed. NOTE Usually, store stock solutions at -18 C. Check the stability of stock solutions during storage regularly. In some cases the addition of acids or bases

24、 can be helpful to enhance stability and extend the acceptable storage period. 3.9 Pesticide mixtures Because of the broad applicability of this method and due to the partly divergent pH-stability of pesticides, analyte mixtures of different composition can be needed. These are prepared by mixing to

25、gether defined volumes of the required analyte stock solutions (3.8) and appropriately diluting them with methanol. The analyte concentrations in this mixture should be sufficient to allow the preparation of the required matrix matched standards (see 3.10.3) with moderate dilution of the blank sampl

26、e extract (e.g. less than 20 %). Usually, store pesticide mixtures at -18 C. Since the stability of the pesticides in the mixture may be lower than in stock solutions, stability has to be checked regularly. In some cases the addition of acids or bases can be helpful to enhance stability and extend a

27、cceptable storage times. 3.10 Standard solutions 3.10.1 Standard solutions prepared in pure solvent (solvent-based standards) Solvent-based standards are prepared by mixing a certain volume of methanol with known amounts of pesticide mixtures (3.9). The preparation of multiple standards of different

28、 pesticide concentration is useful to cover a broad concentration range. NOTE An analyte concentration of 1 g/ml correlates to a residue level of 0,4 mg/kg when a 10 g sample is employed (e.g. samples with water content 30 %) or 0,8 mg/kg when a 5 g sample is employed (e.g. cereals). 3.10.2 Standard

29、 solutions with internal standard prepared in pure solvent Solvent-based standards with ISTD are prepared by mixing a certain volume of methanol with known amounts of pesticide mixtures (3.9) and a fixed volume of internal standard solution (3.7). The volume used shall result in that concentration o

30、f ISTD which is obtained in the final extracts after sample extraction and clean-up (see 5.2 and 5.3). The concentration of internal standard in the final extract (CsampleISTD) can be calculated using Equation (1). The preparation of multiple standards of different pesticide concentration but with c

NOTE The internal standard may correct for deviations from the correct extraction volume, a wrong estimate of water content of samples, losses of methanol during preparation of the final extract and fluctuations of instrument sensitivity during a batch of measurements. However,

34、 validation results in Annex B were obtained without internal standards. 3.10.3 Standard solutions prepared in blank matrix extracts (matrix-matched standards) Prepare matrix-matched standards in the same way as the solvent-based standards, however, instead of pure methanol use extracts of blank sam

35、ples (prepared as described in 5.2, but without ISTD addition). To minimize errors caused by matrix induced effects during chromatography, it is best to choose similar commodities (e.g. apple for apple samples, carrots for carrot samples, etc.). The stability of pesticide in matrix-matched standards

36、 may be lower than that of standards in pure acetonitrile and has to be checked more thoroughly. 3.11 5 ml cartridge for solid supported liquid/liquid extraction, 5 ml sample volume, diatomaceous earth, for example ChemElut CE 10052)3.12 20 ml cartridge for solid supported liquid/liquid extraction,

42、also called “analytical sample”). Processing should also ensure that the test sample is homogeneous enough so that sub-sampling variability is acceptable. If a single analytical portion is unlikely to be representative of the test sample, larger or replicate portions shall be analysed, to provide a

43、better estimate of the true value. The degree of comminution supports a quantitative residue extraction. 5.1.2 Laboratory sample A laboratory sample that is wholly or extensively spoiled or degraded should not be analysed. When possible, prepare laboratory samples immediately after arrival and in an

44、y event, before any significant physical or chemical changes have taken place. If a laboratory sample cannot be prepared without delay, it should be stored under appropriate conditions to keep it fresh and to avoid deterioration. Generally, laboratory samples should not be stored longer than 3 days

45、before preparation. Dried or similarly processed samples should be analysed within their stated shelf life. 5.1.3 Partly-prepared test sample For preparation of the partly-prepared test sample take only the portion of the laboratory sample to which the maximum residue level applies. No further plant

46、-parts may be removed. The reduction of the laboratory sample shall be carried out in such a way that representative portions are obtained (e. g. by sub-division into four and selection of opposite quarters). For samples of small units (e. g. small fruits such as berries, legumes, cereals), the samp

47、le shall be thoroughly mixed before weighing out the partly-prepared test sample. When the samples are made up of larger units, take wedge-shaped sections (e. g. melons) or cross sections (e. g. cucumbers) that include the skin (outer surface) from each unit 1. 5.1.4 Test sample From each partly-pre

48、pared test sample, any parts that would cause difficulties with the homogenisation process should be removed. In the case of stone fruits, the stones shall be removed. A record of the plant-parts that have been removed shall be kept. Precautions should be taken to avoid any losses of juice or flesh.

49、 This is the test sample. Calculation of the residue shall be based on the mass of the original test sample (including the stones). Where the homogeneity of the test sample is not sufficient or the extraction of residues may be significantly compromised due to large particle sizes, intensive comminution should be performed using appropriate means. This is possible at ambient temperature, if separation of flesh and juice or degradation of target BS EN 15637:2008EN 15637:2008 (E) 8 pesticides does not occur to a significant extent.
