Rapid multi-residue analysis of pesticides in agricultural products was studied by using LC-MS/MS. Pesticide residues in 10 g of homogenized agricultural products were extracted with 30 mL of acetonitrile and salted out with 4 g of anhydrous magnesium sulfate and 1 g of sodium chloride in the presence of citrate salts for buffering in a disposable tube. Co-extractives were removed by use of our original triple layered column (C18/GC/PSA; 60/30/60 mg). According to the method validation guideline of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of Japan, we conducted recovery tests in 5 kinds of agricultural products (brown rice, kiwi, cabbage, sweet potato and spinach) spiked with 60 pesticides at the level of 0.01 or 0.1 micro g/g. Each concentration of pesticide spiked was extracted from 2 samples per day on 5 days. Pesticides in the test solution were determined by two types of LC-MS/MS using scheduled MRM. Using this method, 58 out of 60 pesticides satisfied the guideline criteria in brown rice, 59 in kiwi, 55 in cabbage, 55 in sweet potato and 56 in spinach. This method is applicable for routine examination of pesticide residues in agricultural products.
