  • Title: Determination of imidacloprid and benzimidazole residues in fruits and vegetables by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry after ethyl acetate multiresidue extraction.

    Abstract:
    A simple and sensitive method based on liquid chromatography-atmospheric pressure ionization-mass spectrometry is described for the determination of 4 benzimidazole pesticides (carbendazim, thiabendazole, benomyl, and thiophanate-methyl) and imidacloprid in vegetables and fruits. Food samples were typically extracted with ethyl acetate to draw the analytes into the organic phase. No cleanup step was necessary before injection into the liquid chromatographic (LC) system with electrospray mass spectrometric detection. The analytes were separated on a reversed-phase C8LC column. Limits of detection for the compounds were in the microg/L range. Results are reported for validation studies with fortified pear and tomato samples and for residues of the target compounds found in the pesticide residue monitoring program during 1998.
