Abstract

An efficient, fast, and easy-to-perform multi-residue method tracing pesticide residue based on ultrasonic extraction, mixed mode solid-phase extraction for purification and GC–MS/MS analysis was successfully validated and applied to analysis for the simultaneous determination of 100 pesticide residues in traditional Chinese medicine Flos Chrysanthemi samples. Results showed the matrix-matched calibration curve linearity was >0.9900 for all target analytes. The recoveries obtained for each pesticide ranged between 65.3 and 124.7%, and RSD values were less 14.4% for all compounds. The limit of quantification ranged from 0.03 µg · kg−1 to 11.88 µg · kg−1. The proposed method was successfully applied to analysis of 32 commercial chrysanthemum samples collected from cultivation fields in four provinces of China. Most pesticide residue were negative in all samples; 19 pesticide residues were found including acephate, simazine, and carbofuran with a detection rate between 3.1% and 53.1%.
