The performance of solid phase microextraction (SPME) for enrichment of pesticides from apple juice was investigated. Samples were diluted with water, extracted by solid-phase microextraction and analysed by gas chromatography using mass-spectrometry detector (MSD) in selected ion monitoring mode (SIM). The method was tested for the following pesticides used mostly in fruit culturing at Slovakia: tebuthylazine, fenitrothion, chlorpyrifos, myclobutanil, cyprodinil, phosalone, pyrimethanil, tebuconazole, kresoxim-methyl, methidathion, penconazole. All pesticides were extracted with polydimethylsiloxane fibre 100 μm thickness. The linear concentration range of application was 0.05 μg dm-3-10 μg dm-3. The method described provides detectabilities complying with the maximum residue levels (MRLs) set by regulatory organizations for pesticides in apple juice matrices. The solvent - free SPME procedure was found to be quicker and more cost effective then the solvent extraction methods commonly used.
