Quantitative determination of targeted and untargeted pesticide residues from food products is very important for the assessment of safety of the food products. In the present work, a simple, selective and sensitive method based on liquid chromatography atmospheric pressure chemical ionization high energy collisional dissociation high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry (LC-APCI-HCD-HRMS/MS) for quantification of 19 priority organophosphorus and carbamate pesticides and 10 untargeted pesticides from coconut milk samples was developed and validated. The pesticide residues were extracted by solvent partition followed by dispersive solid-phase extraction clean-up and quantified by LC-APCI-HRMS/MS technique. The method showed the linearity for targeted pesticides in the range of 0.5–1000 ng/g with a limit of detection of ranging 0.5–5 ng/g and limit of quantification of ranging 1–10 ng/g measured at 3:1 and 10:1 signal to noise ratios, respectively. The untargeted pesticide residues were quantified by the response factor method. The method was validated for intraday and interday precision, which was less than 15%. The recovery of the analytes varied between 82 and 117%, and the developed method was applied for the analysis of the coconut milk samples. The analyzed samples showed the presence of quinalphos, malathion, and methiocarb at concentrations of 4.55, 5.54, and 206.99 ng/g.
