The capabilities of a recently launched atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) source for mass spectrometry (MS) coupled to gas chromatography (GC) have been tested in order to evaluate its potential in pesticide residue analysis in fruits and vegetables. Twenty-five pesticides were selected due to their high fragmentation under electron ionization (EI), making that the molecular ion (M+) is practically absent in their spectra. The fragmentation of these pesticides under APCI conditions was studied, with the result that M+ was not only present but also highly abundant for most compounds, with noticeable differences in the fragmentation patterns in comparison with EI. Moreover, the addition of water as modifier was tested to promote the formation of protonated molecules ([M+H]+). Under these conditions, [M+H]+ became the base peak of the spectrum for the majority of compounds, thus leading to an increase of sensitivity in the subsequent GC–MS/MS method developed using triple quadrupole analyzer (QqQ). Highly satisfactory sensitivity and precision, in terms of repeatability, were reached and linearity was satisfactory in the range 0.01–100 ng/mL. The developed methodology was applied to apple, orange, tomato and carrot QuEChERS fortified extracts in order to evaluate the matrix effects. In summary, the soft and reproducible ionization in the APCI source has greatly favored the formation of [M+H]+ oppositely to EI where abundant fragmentation occurs and where the molecular ions have low abundance or are even absent in the mass spectrum. In this way, the use of APCI has facilitated the development of tandem MS methods based on the selection of abundant [M+H]+ as precursor ion. [-]
