Natural deep eutectic solvents as a sustainable alternative for multi-class pesticide extraction in food safety analysis.

ABSTRACT: Pesticide residue analysis in food is frequently carried out worldwide, often requiring a large volume of organic solvents. To improve sustainability, new generation solvents such as natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) have recently emerged as a promising alternative to conventional solvents. This study demonstrates the applicability of NADES as green extraction solvents for pesticides in food samples prior to analysis by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The present research goes beyond previous studies by covering an extended set of pesticide residues. For that, five hydrophilic and hydrophobic NADES were evaluated as extraction solvents in a solid-liquid extraction (SLE). Initially, eleven representative pesticides covering a broad range of chemica
