Sample treatment, with minor modifications for propolis, consisted of a solvent extraction with a hexane and isopropanol mixture, and a further clean-up step. Meanwhile, chromatographic analysis (<25 min) was performed in a DB-5MS column under programmed temperature conditions. In all cases we validated the method in terms of selectivity, limits of detection (0.1–2.8 μg kg−1) and quantification (0.3–9.2 μg kg−1), linearity, matrix effect (<±20 %), trueness (recoveries between 93 % and 118 %), and precision (relative standard deviation < 11 %). All royal jelly liquid dietary supplements were positive for chlorfenvinphos and, in the case of one of them, for α-endosulfan; chlorfenvinphos was determined in some fresh royal jelly samples, and no pesticide residues were detected in the propolis samples analysed PB Elsevier SN 0308-8146 YR 2024 FD 2024 LK https://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/63656 UL https://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/63656 LA eng NO Food Chemistry, 2024, vol. 437, Part 2, 137911 NO Producción Científica DS UVaDOC RD 22-nov-2024
