In the present study, a novel GC–MS TQ method was developed and validated for the simultaneous analysis of 2-MCPD, 3-MCPD, and glycidyl fatty acid esters in edible oil. This method was subsequently applied to quantitation of these contaminants in commercial edible oil samples.

Determination of PBDE congeners can be performed at high sensitivity with good accuracy using the GCMS-TQ8050.

Although pesticides protect crops and plants, they are known to be harmful and of toxicological significance. In order to ensure the safety of the food chain and to protect consumers, fast and reliable methods for the qualification and quantification of residual chemicals, contaminants, and pesticides in food and feed are essential. This article describes the method development and optimization of a fast and simple high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) assay for the separation, qualification, and quantification of common pesticides.
