The molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) consisted of methacrylic acid as a functional monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as a crosslinking monomer, and [alpha],[alpha]'-azoisobutyronitrile as an initiator for polymer preparation. To evaluate the applicability of the imprinted polymer as a selective sorbent, general parameters, such as pH, amount of loading solvents, washing solution, eluent, and time, were optimized following a step-by-step approach. Under the optimum conditions, the linear range was between 0.05 and 1.0 [micro]g/L. The standard deviation of 2.2% and the method detection limit of 0.05 [micro]g/L were obtained. The recoveries up to approximately 97.0% from spiked surface water samples could be obtained. The observed outcomes confirmed the suitability of the artificial neural network model as a tool for mean square error of bentazon on MIP-SPE (0.018) and non-imprinted polymer-SPE (0.029) selectivity and permeability. The proposed molecularly imprinted polymer-solid phase extraction-liquid chromatography method could be applied to the direct determination of toxic bentazon in water samples.

In this study, an optimized QuEChERS method combined with ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) was employed to quantify residue levels. The amount of diazinon pesticide in peach and cherry samples at days after use with the permitted dose of 25 g was 1.66 mg/kg for peach samples and 1.82 mg/kg for cherry samples. The first-order kinetic model describes the loss patterns in all products, with half-lives of 1.8 days for the peach samples and 1.9 days for the cherry samples. Method validation was achieved based on the recovery percentage values obtained from the samples. The inter-day repeatability RSD% (n = 21) for peach and cherry samples was obtained as 13.2% and 15.6%, respectively. The intera-day RSD% (n = 7) for peach and cherry samples was 7.1% and 5.2%, respectively. The recovery values for the analysis of these samples were 92.5-106.2% and 92.0-102.0%, respectively. The proposed UHPLC method could selectively extract diazinon pesticides from peach, and cherry samples. Furthermore, the method employed in this research can be adapted for studying other pesticide compounds with low concentrations in fruits, water, and soil, highlighting the versatility of the method employed.
