    Abstract:
    A liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method has been developed for determining bitertanol, carboxin, flutriafol, pyrimethanil, tebuconazole and triadimefon. The evaluation of both atmospheric pressure interfaces (API), atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) and electrospray (ESI) using positive and negative ionization modes, clearly shows that the studied pesticides are more sensitive using APCI in positive mode. Two procedures based on solid-phase extraction (SPE) and stir-bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) have been assessed for extracting these compounds in grape. The recoveries obtained by SPE in samples spiked at the limit of quantification (LOQ) level ranged from 60 to 100% with relative standard deviation (R.S.D.s) from 7 to 17%. With the SBSE the recoveries obtained from samples spiked at LOQ level were between 15 and 100% and the R.S.D.s between 10 and 19%. The LOQs of most compounds are better by SPE (0.003-0.01 mg kg(-1)) than by SBSE (0.01 mg kg(-1) for all fungicides). Although SPE provided higher recoveries, lower R.S.D.s, best LOQs and is more rapid to carry out compared with SBSE, this last one has some advantages such as lower organic solvent consumption, and cleaner extracts. Results obtained applying both techniques to real samples are analogous.
