title: Rapid and sensitive analysis of nine fungicide residues in chrysanthemum by matrix extraction-vortex-assisted dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction.
abstract: A simple sample pretreatment for simultaneous determination of nine fungicides (triadimefon, picoxystrobin, kresoxim-methyl, diniconazole, epoxiconazole, trifloxystrobin, triticonazole, difenoconazole, and azoxystrobin) in chrysanthemum was developed using matrix extraction-vortex-assisted dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (ME-VADLLME) prior to gas chromatography with electron capture detection. The target fungicides were firstly extracted with acetonitrile and cleaned with the mixture of primary secondary amine and graphite carbon black. The VADLLME procedure was performed by using toluene with lower density than water as the extraction solvent and the acetonitrile extract as the dispersive solvent, respectively. After vortexing and centrifugation, the fine droplet of toluene was collected on the upper of the mixed toluene/acetonitrile/water system using a 0.1-mL pipettor. Under the optimum conditions, the relative recoveries ranged from 73.9 to 95.1% with relative standard deviations of 3.5-9.7% for all of the analytes. The limits of detection were in the range of (0.005-0.05)×10(-3) mg kg(-1). In the proposed method, the ME step provides more effective cleanup for the chrysanthemum matrix, and VADLLME introduces higher sensitivity with the remarkable enrichment factors up to 88-fold compared with the conventional QuEChERS or SPE. The good performance has demonstrated that ME-VADLLME has a strong potential for application in the multi-residue analysis of complex matrices.
