Optimal QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe) conditions with good accuracy, repeatability and precision were established to rapidly extract the European Union (EU) priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from various food matrices (Category: Poultry and Meat, Fish and seafood, Grains, Soy beans and products, Root vegetables and Coffee). The QuEChERS conditions combined with the established high performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence detection conditions were used to rapidly determine the PAHs in 19 popular cooked foods in Taiwan and their corresponding original materials. These conditions also meet the EU and Taiwan Food and Drug Administration specifications. Charcoal grilled, gas stove grilled and smoked foods had higher PAHs contents, while fried and electric oven-baked/baked foods had lower PAHs contents. In addition to the effects of cooking methods, the contamination of original materials by PAHs in the environment should also have an important impact on the contents of PAHs in these cooked foods.

Using high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, fifteen bisphenols and halogenated phenols were simultaneously analyzed in tea for the first time in China. Response surface methodology was used to optimize sample preparation conditions based on QuEChERS. Finally, the limits of detection and the limits of quantification were 0.

A method for simultaneous determination of multiple mycotoxins in Bombyx Batryticatus and Eupolyphaga Steleophaga was established to provide technical support for monitoring and quality control of such medicinal materials. The mildew-prone Bombyx Batryticatus and Eupolyphaga Steleophaga were detected by UPLC-MS/MS technology, and the chromatographic conditions, mass spectrometry conditions, test sample preparation methods, and QuEChERS purification parameters were optimized. Scanning was conducted under multiple reaction monitoring mode(MRM), and quantitative analysis was performed by matrix standard curve method.

Prostaglandin analogs (bimatoprost, travoprost, tafluprost, etc.) have similar effects to prostaglandins and are effective drugs for treating glaucoma. These compounds exhibit abnormal reactions such as causing eyelash growth, with several cases being reported of people purchasing them to increase eyelash growth; however, some cases have reported side effects such as pigmentation and dry eyes.

Rice straw is used as livestock feed and compost. Ferimzone and tricyclazole, common fungicides for rice blast control, can be found in high concentrations in rice straw after unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) spraying, potentially affecting livestock and human health through pesticide residues. In this study, an optimized method for the analysis of the two fungicides in rice straw was developed using the improved QuEChERS method.

Developing efficient methods to analyze inhibitors resulting from the breakdown of the lignocellulosic matrix in brewery spent grain is crucial for selecting optimal pretreatment strategies and monitoring these compounds during biodigestion processes. However, to date, these determinations have been based on separate methodologies that have not been subjected to the analytical validation stage. This study optimized QuEChERS extraction methods combined with High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) analysis to determine 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF), furfural, and p-cresol, simultaneously, in the semisolid and liquid fraction of the BSG hydrolysate.
