TL;DR: A simple, fast, and inexpensive method for the determination of pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables is introduced and effectively removes many polar matrix components, such as organic acids, certain polar pigments, and sugars, to some extent from the food extracts.

TL;DR: Sample extracts of apples, peas, green beans, oranges, raspberries, clementines, carrots, and wheat obtained using the Food and Drug Administration and Canadian Pest Management Regulatory Agency multiresidue methods for pesticides were subjected to clean-up using different solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridges in an attempt to reduce or eliminate the matrix enhancement effect.

TL;DR: Recent developments in the chromatographic determination of antibiotic residues in milk are reviewed to determine the identity and quantity of antibiotic present.

TL;DR: In this article, the US Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) and Canadian Pest Management Regulatory Agency (ACetonitrile extraction) methods for pesticides were subjected to cleanup with solid phase extraction (SPE) columns.

TL;DR: The method, based on concepts from the multiresidue procedure used by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and QuEChERS, was shown to be efficient in screening, identifying, and quantitating pesticides in fresh produce samples.
