Abstract A multiresidue method was developed for the determination of 15 pesticides (organochlorines, organophosphorus compounds, pyrethroids, and other acaricides) in various commercial honeys (eucalyptus, lavender, orange, rosemary, and multifloral). The analytical procedure is based on the matrix solid-phase dispersion of honey in a mixture of Florisil and anhydrous sodium sulfate; the mixture is placed in small plastic columns and extracted with hexane–ethyl acetate (90 + 10, v/v). The pesticide residues are determined by capillary gas chromatography with electron-capture detection. Recoveries with the method at concentrations between 0.15 and 1.5 μg/g ranged from 80 to 113%, and relative standard deviations were <10% for all the pesticides studied. The pesticide detection limits were within the range 0.5–5 mg/kg for organochlorines, around 3 μg/kg for the chlorinated organophosphorus pesticides studied, near 15 μg/kg for fluvalinate, and about 3 μg/kg for the other pyrethroids.

Abstract A multiresidue analytical method based on matrix solid-phase dispersion was developed to analyze liquid milk for 22 organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and 6 polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Initial extraction is performed by loading 3 mL milk onto a 2.0 g octadecyl (C18)-bonded silica cartridge with n-hexane as the eluant. Neutral alumina column chromatography with sodium sulfate as the drying agent is used for further cleanup. The eluate is concentrated to 0.5 mL, and target analytes are determined by capillary gas chromatography with electron-capture detection. The optimized method was validated by determining accuracy (recovery percentages), precision (repeatability and reproducibility), and sensitivity (detection and quantitation limits) from analyses of milk samples fortified at 10 and 1 μg/L levels. Average recoveries were between 74 and 106% for all residues except β-HCH, β-endosulfan, and endosulfan sulfate. Both repeatability and reproducibility relative standard deviation values were < 22% for all residues. Detection limits ranged from 0.02 to 0.12 μg/L and quantitation limits were between 0.02 and 0.62 μg/L. The proposed analytical method may be used as a fast and simple procedure in routine determinations of OCPs and PCBs in milk.

Abstract A multiresldue technique Is presented for the extraction and quantitative gas chromatographic screening of 9 insecticides (lindane, heptachlor, aldrin, heptachlor epoxide, p.p'-DDE, dleldrln, endrin, p,p'-TDE, and p.p'-DDT) as residues In beef fat. Beef fat was fortified by adding the 9 Insecticides, plus dlbutyl chlorendate as Internal standard, to 0.5 g portions of beef fat and blending with 2 g C18 (octadecylsllyl)-derivatlzed silica. The C18/fat matrix blend was fashioned into a column by adding the blend to a 10 mL syringe barrel containing 2 g activated Florisll. The insecticides were then eluted from the column with 8 mL acetonitrile, and a 2μL portion of the acetonitrile eluate was then directly analyzed by gas chromatography with electron capture detection. Unfortified blank controls were treated similarly. The acetonitrile eluate contained all of the pesticide analytes (31.25-500 ng/g) and was free of interfering co-extractants. Correlation coefficients for the 9 extracted pesticide standard curves (linear regression analysis, n = 5) ranged from 0.9969 (±0.0021) to 0.9999 (±0.0001). Average relative percentage recoveries (85 ± 3.4% to 102 ± 5.0%, n = 25 for each insecticide), inter-assay variability (6.0 ± 1.0% to 14.0 ± 6.7%, n = 25 for each insecticide), and intra-assay variability (2.5-5.1%, n = 5 for each insecticide) indicated that the methodology is acceptable for the extraction, determination, and screening of these residues in beef fat.
