Abstract: A ultra performance liquid chromatography orbitrap high resolution mass spectrometry method for the determination of 21 pesticides in tea was developed. The tea samples were extracted by methanol-water (VmethanolVwater=1∶1), and cleaned up by a mixture of adsorbents containing primary secondary amine and strong cation exchanger. The chromatography analysis was performed on a C18 column. The target analytes were analyzed by high resolution mass spectrometry under Full Scan mode. The results showed that the linearities of 21 pesticides ranged from 0.5βμg·L-1 to 200βμg·L-1 with correlation coefficients higher than 0.99. At the spiked levels of 10, 50 and 100βμg·kg-1, the average recoveries were from 70% to 125%, with the relative standard deviations (RSDs) below 15%. The limits of quantitation were 10βμg·kg-1. The method is simple, rapid, sensitive and appropriate for the determination of 21 pesticide residues in tea.
