EN 14333-3:2004 (E) 4 1 Scope This document specifies a high performance liquid chromatographic method for t
20、he determination of the benzimidazole fungicides carbendazim and thiabendazole in fruits, vegetables and processed products. 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 b
21、een validated for carbendazim and thiabendazole in an interlaboratory test with homogenates of apples, French beans, mushrooms, lemons and fruit based infant food. 2 Principle The sample is homogenized with ethyl acetate, sodium hydroxide solution and anhydrous sodium sulfate and the homogenate is f
22、iltered. An aliquot portion of the ethyl acetate extract is partitioned with hydrochloric acid solution; the aqueous phase is made alkaline and partitioned with ethyl acetate. The organic layer is evaporated and the residue is dissolved in the HPLC mobile phase. Carbendazim and thiabendazole are det
23、ermined by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (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 wa
24、ter. 3.2 Safety aspects associated with reagents Vapours from some 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 wit

34、n. 5.2 Extraction 5.2.1 Commodities except lemons, limes, plums and juices From the test sample (5.1), weigh a test portion of 75 g (m) to the nearest 0,5 g into the jar of a blender (4.3). Add 150 ml (V 1 ) of ethyl acetate (3.3) and 3 ml sodium hydroxide solution (3.5) and homogenize the mixture f
35、or 30 s. Add 30 g of sodium sulfate (3.7) and continue to homogenize the mixture for 2,5 min. Filter the homogenate with gentle suction through a glass fibre filter (4.8) topped with 20 g of sodium sulfate. To the filtrate, add 10 g of sodium sulfate, and allow it to stand for 3 min. 5.2.2 Lemons, l
36、imes and plums Proceed as described in 5.2.1, but add 6,0 ml sodium hydroxide solution (3.5) instead of 3,0 ml. 5.2.3 Juices Check which volume (x ml) of diluted sodium hydroxide solution (3.6) is required to adjust a portion of 7,5 g of the juice to approximately pH 10. Weigh a test portion of 75 g
37、 (m) to the nearest 0,5 g into the jar of a blender (4.3). Add 200 ml (V 1 ) of ethyl acetate (3.3) and x ml of sodium hydroxide solution (3.5) and homogenize the mixture for 30 s. Proceed as described in 5.2.1. 5.3 Liquid-liquid partitioning Transfer an aliquot portion of 50 ml (V 2 ) of the soluti
38、on derived from 5.2 to a separatory funnel (4.4). Add 10 ml of hydrochloric solution (3.8), shake the funnel for 2 min and allow the layers to separate. Drain the lower aqueous layer to a second separatory funnel and repeat the extraction of the upper organic layer twice, using 10 ml and 5 ml of hyd
39、rochloric acid solution, respectively. Collect all aqueous layers in the second separatory funnel and discard the organic layer. To the combined aqueous layers, add 5 ml of the alkaline solution (3.9) and 15 ml of ethyl acetate and shake the funnel for 2 min. Allow sufficient time for the layers to
40、separate and discard the lower aqueous layer. Shake the upper organic layer with 10 ml of water and discard the aqueous layer. Concentrate the upper organic layer to approximately 2 ml in a rotary evaporator (4.5) with the water bath temperature set at 35 C and evaporate the remaining ethyl acetate
41、using a gentle stream of nitrogen. To the residue, add 5 ml 0,2 ml (V 3 ) of the mobile phase for HPLC (3.11) and mix well. 5.4 HPLC measurement Filter the solution derived from 5.3 through a syringe filter (4.9) and inject 50 l of this sample test solution into the HPLC system (4.6), applying a flo
42、w rate of 1,0 ml/min of the mobile phase (3.11). For quantitation, inject also the same volume of appropriately diluted standard solutions (3.14). Pass the HPLC column eluate first through a UV detector set at 285 nm and, if both detectors are used, then through a fluorescence detector set at excita
43、tion and emission wavelengths of 285 nm and 315 nm, respectively. NOTE 1 For UV detection, 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. N
44、OTE 2 The retention times obtained under these conditions are approximately 6 min for carbendazim and 8,5 min for thiabendazole. NOTE 3 For alternative HPLC operating conditions, see Annex B. EN 14333-3:2004 (E) 7 6 Calculation Measure the peak heights or peak areas obtained for carbendazim and thia
45、bendazole in the sample test solution and the standard solution. Use, if possible, several wavelengths for the UV absorption and the fluorescence measurement.

48、nalyses for confirming the identity and quantity of the carbendazim and thiabendazole should be performed, particularly in those cases in which it appears that a maximum residue limit (MRL) has been exceeded. The identity of carbendazim and thiabendazole can be confirmed by comparing the absorption spectra of sample test solution and standard solution by using a diode array detector. The results can also be confirmed by using part 1 or part 2 of this European Standard. For thiabendazole, gas c
