Abstract: An HPLC method was established for the determination of paraquat residues in edible fungi. Samples were extracted with 10 mL of hydrochloric acid solution by microwave digestion extraction at 120 ℃ for 30 min, cleanedup by strong cation exchange (SCX) solid-phase extraction (SPE) column and eluted by saturated ammonium chloride. HPLC separation was carried out by reverse phase chromatography on Atlantis HILIC silica column with a mobile phase composed of acetonitrile and actyl sulfonate at the ratio of 40:60. Paraquat was detected by ultraviolet detector at 259 nm. The limit of quantification (LOQ) based on 10 times signal-to-noise was 1.0 μg/kg. The recovery rate was in the range of 82.33%–96.99% with the relative standard deviations (RSD) of 1.23%–3.90%. This established method is satisfactory for the determination of paraquat residues in edible fungi.
