A total of 300 samples representing six condiments (black pepper, basil, oregano, nutmeg, paprika, and thyme) were analysed for 11 mycotoxins, 134 pesticides and 4 heavy metals by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Mycotoxins were detected in 4%, 10% and 30% of all nutmeg, basil and thyme samples, respectively. The residues of 24 pesticides were detected in 59% of the analysed condiments. The maximum residue levels of pesticides were exceeded in 10% of oregano and 46% of thyme samples. A risk assessment of heavy metals was performed, indicating daily intake levels far below the tolerable intake levels.
通过超高效液相色谱-串联四极杆质谱法和电感耦合等离子体质谱法，对代表六种调味品（黑胡椒、罗勒、牛至、肉豆蔻、辣椒粉和百里香）的300个样本进行了11种霉菌毒素、134种农药和4种重金属的分析。肉豆蔻、罗勒和百里香样本中，分别有4%、10%和30%检测出霉菌毒素。在59%的分析调味品中检测到24种农药残留。牛至样本的10%和百里香样本的46%中，农药最大残留限量超标。进行了重金属风险评估，结果表明每日摄入量远低于可耐受摄入量水平。
