AbstractA simple HPLC-UV procedure is described in our paper which is suitable for the rapid and cost-efficient determination of prochloraz in mushrooms. Prochloraz is the only fungicide in EU which use is allowed in mushroom production. The aim of our work was the development of a simple method that is suitable for the control of this pesticide in everyday analyses during mushroom production. The procedure involves a simple sample preparation method based on solid-liquid extraction (modified QuEChERS extraction method EN 15662) followed by an HPLC-UV determination (recovery: 97–99%; limit of detection LOD: 0.01 mg/kg; limit of quantification LOQ: 0.05 mg/kg).

Determination of organochlorine pesticide residues in shrimp is very important to ensure the consumer’s safety and to fulfill the importer’s demand. Therefore, a simple and efficient multiple organochlorine pesticide residues analytical method using quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe (QuEChERS) extraction technique and Gas Chromatography coupled with Electron Capture Detector (ECD) has been developed and validated for the determination of 19 organochlorine pesticides (α- BHC, δ- BHC, β- BHC, γ- BHC, Heptachlor, Aldrin, Heptachlor Epoxide, γ- Chlordane, α- Chlordane, α- Endosulfan, 4,4 DDE, Dieldrin, Endrin, 4,4 DDD, β- Endosulfan, 4,4 DDT, Endosulfan sulphate, Methoxychlor, and Endrin Ketone) in shrimp. The method was validated by evaluating the accuracy, precision, linearity, limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ). The average recoveries of the selected pesticides ranged from 84% to 106% with RSDr ≤ 14% in four fortification levels of 0.05, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 mg kg-1. The linearity was ≥ 0.996 for all of the selected pesticides with matrix matched calibration standards. The LOD ranged from 0.003 to 0.009 mg kg-1 and the LOQ was 0.05 mg kg-1. This method was applied successfully for the residue analysis of 40 shrimp samples collected from different regions in Bangladesh.SAARC J. Agri., 16(1): 81-93 (2018)

Abstract A gas chromatographic (GC) method with flame ionization detection was developed to separate and quantitate p-chloroaniline (PCA) from other components in a chlorhexidine digluconate (CHG)-containing alcohol foam surgical scrub product. A simple sample preparation method was developed in which 1-butanol was used to dissolve the foam and precipitate the CHG, which otherwise would interfere with the GC analysis. The method was validated with respect to linear dynamic range, precision, accuracy, selectivity, limit of detection, and limit of quantitation.

The modified Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe (QuEChERS) sample preparation method was developed and validated for quantification of trace level of dicofol, chlordane and dieldrin pesticides in sunflower oil. The proposed method was applied for extraction of pesticides in sunflower oil and results were plotted with the help of matrix-matched calibration using relative responses versus standard solution. The quantification of pesticide residues carried out in sunflower oil by Gas Chromatography coupled with ECD detector. The method reveals that experimental results were satisfactory in respect of various analytical parameters such as linearity, recovery and precision. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) for target analytes were in the range of 0.001–0.011 mgkg-1 and 0.002–0.030 mgkg-1 respectively. The influence activated charcoal addition to the sorbents for the recovery of target analyte was also studied and presented in the results.

Abstract A high performance liquid chromatography combined with fluorescence detection (HPLC-FLD) method was developed for determination of five ergot alkaloids (EA): ergometrine, ergotamine, ergocornine, ergocrypine and ergocristine in animal feedingstuffs. The method was based on the application of QuEChERS salts for extraction and modified QuEChERS dispersive SPE for the cleanup step. Alkaloids separation was performed on a C18, 250 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 μm column with the mobile phase containing ammonium carbonate and acetonitrile. The excitation and emission wavelengths were 330 and 420 nm respectively. The method was validated according to the Commission Decision 2002/657/EC and all parameters are in agreement with the requirements of the Decision. Linearity was determined for the concentration range of 25-400 μg/kg. The coefficient of determination (R2) for all curves was from 0.985 to 0.996. The limit of detection (LOD) was in the range 3.23 to 6.53 μg/kg and the limit of quantification (LOQ) from 11.78 to 13.06 μg/kg. The decision limit (CCα) ranged from 29.56 to 43.08 μg/kg and detection capability (CCβ) from 40.65 to 51.01 μg/kg. The highest coefficient of variation (CV) for repeatability was 14.3% and for reproducibility 15.4%.

The present study aims at building a miniature mass method for the simultaneous determination of 12 phenols including the subtypes of bibenzyl, phenanthrene, and fluorenone, which was used to evaluate the quality of Dendrobium chrysotoxum. Through the full scan mode, new compounds were elucidated. The new compounds were quantified by carrying out the analysis of the ratio of the standard solution areas to new compound areas versus analyte concentration. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) for phenols were 0.5 µg/mL–1 µg/mL and 1 µg/mL–2 µg/mL, respectively. Average recoveries of phenols were ranged from 83.2% to 97.5%. Reproducibility represented by the RSD percentage was from 2.3% to 8.7%. The average content of the four analytes, erianin, chrysotobibenzyl, confusarin, and moscatilin, were more than 200 mg/kg, and the content of bibenzyl compounds was found to be the highest in Dendrobium chrysotoxum. Among these bibenzyl compounds, erianin was determined as the typical chemical marker from Dendrobium chrysotoxum. The newly established UPLC with a miniature mass detector method was found to be an appropriate tool for the quality assessment of Dendrobium chrysotoxum.

A simple and accurate spectrophotometric method for the determination of Trifluoperazine HCl in pure and dosage forms was developed. The method is based on the reaction between Trifluoperazine HCl and p-chloroaniline in the presence of cerium ion as oxidizing agent which lead to the formation of violate color product that absorbed at a maximum wavelength 570nm while the blank solution was pink. Under the optimum conditions a linear relationship between the intensity and concentration of TRF in the range 4-50μg/ml was obtained . The molar absorptivity 3.74×103 L.mol-1.cm-1 , Limit of detection (2.21μg/ml), while limit of quantification was 7.39μg/ml. The proposed analytical method was compared with standard method using t-test and F-test , the obtained results shows there is no significant differences between proposed method and standard method. Based on that the proposed method can be used as an alternative method for the determination of TRF in pure and dosage forms.

Abstract Background The aim of the present method is to develop and validate a specific, sensitive, precise, and accurate liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) method for the estimation of the phenyl vinyl sulfone in the eletriptan hydrobromide. The effective separation of the phenyl vinyl sulfone was achieved by the Symmetry C18 (50 × 4.6 mm, 3.5 μm) column and a mobile phase composition of 0.1%v/v ammonia buffer to methanol (5:95 v/v), using 0.45 ml/min flow rate and 20 μl of injection volume, with methanol used as diluent. The phenyl vinyl sulfone was monitored on atomic pressure chemical ionization mode mass spectrometer with positive polarity mode. Results The retention time of phenyl vinyl sulfone was found at 2.13 min. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were observed at 1.43 ppm and 4.77 ppm concentration respectively; the linear range was found in the concentration ranges from 4.77 to 27.00 ppm with regression coefficient of 0.9990 and accuracy in the range of 97.50–102.10%. The percentage relative standard deviation (% RSD) for six replicates said to be injections were less than 10%. Conclusion The proposed method was validated successfully as per ICH guidelines. Hence, this is employed for the determination of phenyl vinyl sulfone in the eletriptan hydrobromide.
