    Abstract:
    A method is described for determining 41 insecticide residues in garlic (Allium sativum L.), including organophosphorus, organochlorine, carbamate, and synthetic pyrethroid insecticides. These insecticides were extracted from samples with acetone and dichloromethane, and co-extractives removed using a charcoal/Celite/alumina column. Analysis was performed by gas chromatography with ion trap mass spectrometry in selective ion storage (SIS) mode. Retention times and specific ions (m/z values) were used to confirm insecticides. Recoveries for most insecticides (blank samples spiked at 0.05, 0.2 and 1 microg mL(-1) levels) ranged from 70% to 110%, the coefficient of variation (CV) of the method was <20% for every case, and the limit of detection (LOD), defined in terms of 3 times baseline noise, varied between 0.01 and 0.16 mg kg(-1), depending on the compound.
