A high-throughput screening method embracing 756 multiclass chem. contaminants in aquaculture products was developed using modified QuEChERS extraction coupled with liquid chromatog./quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. A mega-database with retention time/accurate mass data for 524 pesticides, 182 veterinary drugs, 32 persistent organic pollutants and 18 marine toxins was established for compound identification via retrospective library searching. In the four representative matrixes (muscle tissues of tilapia and grouper, and edible portions of oyster and scallop), all the database compounds showed acceptable recovery and repeatability with the screening detection limit and limit of quantification below 0.01 mg/kg for >90% of them. The matrix-matched calibration revealed acceptable quant. property of the method in terms of linear range, linearity, and matrix effect, and fish muscle samples showed stronger matrix effect than shellfish samples. Anal. of 64 real-life samples from aquaculture farms and retail markets evidenced applicability of the proposed method to high-throughput screening scenarios. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, Dicyclohexyl phthalate (cas: 84-61-7Reference of 84-61-7).
Dicyclohexyl phthalate (cas: 84-61-7) belongs to esters. Esters are widespread in nature and are widely used in industry. In nature, fats are in general triesters derived from glycerol and fatty acids. Esters are responsible for the aroma of many fruits. Liquid esters of low volatility serve as softening agents for resins and plastics. Esters also include many industrially important polymers. Polymethyl methacrylate is a glass substitute sold under the names Lucite and Plexiglas; polyethylene terephthalate is used as a film (Mylar) and as textile fibres sold as Terylene, Fortrel, and Dacron.Reference of 84-61-7
