Optimization and Validation of a QuEChERS-Based Method Combined with Gas Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry for Analyzing Pesticide Residues in Edible Insect Samples by Phannika Tongchai, Nootchakarn Sawarng, Anurak Wongta, Udomsap Jaitham, Kunrunya Sutan, Saweang Kawichai, Chuleui Jung, Bajaree Chuttong, Surat Hongsibsong

“…This study aimed to assess and enhance a QuEChERS-based extraction method coupled with gas chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) for the quantification of pesticide residues in edible insects (bamboo caterpillars, house crickets, silkworm pupae, giant water bugs, and grasshoppers) by combining multiple individual insect specimens into a single, homogenized sample—five replicates were tested. The method was optimized by evaluating various extraction parameters and showed strong linearity for all 47 target pesticides, with correlation coefficients (R²) ranging from 0.9940 to 0.9999. …”
