Optimization and establishment of QuEChERS based method for determination of propoxycarbazone and its metabolite in food commodities by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry

This study reports a method for propoxycarbazone pesticide determination including its metabolite in food commodities (lettuce, beetroot, soybean meal and honey). Both compounds were extracted, and samples cleaned using a buffered QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged and Safe) method based on the AOAC Official Method, followed by ultra high performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC–MS/MS). Both...
