EN 14333-1:2004 (E) 4 1 Scope This document specifies a high performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination of the benzimidazole fungicides
20、 carbendazim and thiabendazole in fruits and vegetables. When benomyl is present, it is completely degraded to carbendazim and is also determined as carbendazim. Thiophanate-methyl is not determined with the method. The method has been validated for carbendazim and thiabendazole in an interlaborator
21、y test with homogenates of apples and oranges. 2 Principle The sample is homogenized with acetone, dichloromethane and light petroleum and the homogenate is centrifuged to yield two layers of the supernatant. An aliquot portion of the upper layer is evaporated to dryness and the residue is dissolved
22、 in methanol containing benzimidazole as the internal standard. The solution is cleaned up by solid phase extraction (SPE) using a cartridge packed with diol-bonded silica. In the cartridge eluate, carbendazim and thiabendazole are determined by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography
23、(HPLC) with UV or UV and fluorescence detectors. 3 Reagents 3.1 General Unless otherwise specified, use reagents of recognized analytical grade, preferably for HPLC and pesticide residue analysis, and only distilled or demineralized water. 3.2 Safety aspects associated with reagents Vapours from som
24、e volatile solvents are toxic. Several of these solvents are readily absorbed through skin. Use an effective fume hood to remove vapours of these solvents as they are set free. Carbendazim and thiabendazole are toxic; avoid contact with skin and eyes. 3.3 Acetone 3.4 Dichloromethane 3.5 Light petrol

35、ch a representative test portion is taken. 5.2 Extraction From the test sample (5.1), weigh a test portion of 15 g (m) to the nearest 0,1 g into a centrifuge tube (4.4), add 30 ml of acetone (3.3) and homogenize the mixture for 30 s using the homogenizer (4.3). Add 30 ml of dichloromethane (3.4) and
36、 30 ml of light petroleum (3.5) and continue to homogenize the mixture for 30 s. Centrifuge the tube for 5 min at a rotational speed of 4000 min -1 . Decant the upper organic layer into a conical flask and measure its volume. From this layer (V 1 ), transfer an aliquot portion of 3 ml (V 2 ) to a te
37、st tube. Place the test tube in a water bath set at 60 C (4.5) and gently evaporate the solution to near dryness. Allow the remaining solvent to evaporate in air, and dissolve the residue in 2 ml 0,1 ml (V 3 ) of internal standard solution (3.16). 5.3 Solid phase extraction Attach a SPE cartridge (4
38、.6) to a suitable eluting device (4.7). Aspirate the liquids through the cartridge giving a dropwise flow or a flow of at most 5 ml/min. Pass 2 ml of SPE eluting mixture (3.10) followed by 2 ml of methanol (3.6), and discard the eluates. Transfer an aliquot portion of 1 ml 0,05 ml of the solution de
39、rived from 5.2 to the SPE cartridge, pass 1 ml of methanol (3.6) through the cartridge and discard the eluate. Dry the cartridge with a stream of air. Next, pass 2,0 ml of SPE eluting mixture (3.10) through the cartridge and immediately start to collect the eluate in a test tube. To the eluate, add
40、100 l of sodium hydroxide solution (3.7) and mix. 5.4 HPLC measurement Filter the solution derived from 5.3 through a syringe filter (4.10) and inject 100 l of this sample test solution into the HPLC system (4.8). For quantitation, inject also the same volume of the standard solution (3.17). Apply a
41、 column oven temperature of 40 C and a flow rate of 0,75 ml/min of the mobile phase (3.12). Pass the HPLC column eluate first through a UV detector set at 285 nm and then through a fluorescence detector set at excitation and emission wavelengths of 285 nm and 315 nm, respectively. NOTE 1 For UV dete
42、ction, other suitable wavelengths are 240 nm for carbendazim and 300 nm for thiabendazole. For the fluorescence detection of thiabendazole, the optimum wavelengths are 295 nm for excitation and 350 nm for emission. NOTE 2 The retention times obtained under these conditions are approximately 8,5 min
43、for the internal standard benzimidazole, 11,5 min for carbendazim and 14 min for thiabendazole. 1) Bond Elut 2OH is a trade name of a product supplied by Varian Sample Preparation Products, Harbor City, CA, USA.
