Review on Analytical Techniques used for the Estimation and Persistence of Ready-Mix Formulation Residues in Various Crops and Soil

Anita, Bharti Sharma

Abstract: In the existing review, an effort has been made to evaluate different type of techniques used for residues quantification in vegetable crops and soil. QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged and Safe) methodologies have been applied in many laboratories, with good results and high recoveries, for several complex matrices extractions, such as vegetables, fruits, biological sample, food products and soil samples. Vegetables were analyzed for pesticide residues using multiresidue analysis by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) equipped with UV detector. To analyze the selected pesticides and the degradation products, different analytical methods were used gas chromatography coupled with a mass spectrometer (GC-MS/MS), ultra performance liquid chromatography coupled with a mass spectrometer (UHPLC-MS/MS). So in this study QuEChERS, HPLC, GLC, GC-MS/MS, UHPLC-MS/MS etc. techniques are reviewed.
