Popis: We herein present a method for the analysis of 10 dithiocarbamate fungicides (DTCs) in beer, fruit juice, and malt samples, where the DTCs were converted into water-soluble sodium salts in the presence of NaHCO3 prior to methylation using dimethyl sulfate. Extraction of the methylated compounds from matrices was performed using a "quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe" (QuEChERS) method. Following a dispersive solid-phase extraction as a clean-up step, the methylated compounds were detected by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Performance evaluation was carried out on beer, fruit juice, and malt samples using representative compounds. Accuracies of the spiked compounds from the various matrices ranged from 92.2 to 112.6%, and the limits of quantification of propineb, mancozeb, and thiuram were
