Abstract
A method for the multiresidue analysis of 16 organochlorine insecticides in mussel tissue was developed. The method was based on the microwave-assisted extraction of the mussel tissue by the use of acetonitrile followed by the solid phase extraction (SPE) cleanup of the extracts and subsequent analysis by GC/MS in the selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode. Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) operational parameters (extraction temperature and time, extractant volume) were optimized with respect to extraction efficiency of the target compounds. Recoveries >70 % with percent relative standard deviation (RSD%) <20 % were obtained for all compounds under the selected parameters. The Florisil cleanup step was efficient enough in the removal of co-extracted substances so that no adverse effect on the chromatographic system was observed. The proposed method was used for the analysis of mussel samples from aquacultures in Greece. Overall the proposed method was efficient, fast, and had low solvent consumption.
