Abstract: Based on matrix solid\|phase dispersion (MSPD) pretreatment and gas chromatography\|mass spectrometry (GC\|MS), a method for simultaneous determination of four types of pesticide residues (organophosphorus, organochlorine, pyrethroid and carbamate) in cucumber was developed by optimizing the parameters of pretreatment and GC\|MS. Results indicated that the linear relation between peak area and concentration of the 50 pesticides in the range of 50 μg·L-1 to 1 000 μg·L-1 were good, and the correlation coefficients of most pesticides were higher than 099 (from 0.973 0 to 0.999 7). The detection limits of 50 pesticides was 1-2 μg·kg-1. The recoveries of 50 pesticides ranged from 70% to 100% at the 50 μg·kg-1 spiking levels, while at the level of 10 μg·kg-1, there were only 45 pesticides. Besides, the relative standard deviations (RSDs) ranged from 0.23% to 15.42%. Thus, the research provided a sensitive, rapid, simple, and accurate analysis method for the simultaneous determination of four types of pesticide residues in cucumber. It was appropriate for the simultaneous identification and quantification of multi\|residues in cucumber.
