Abstract
A method Is described for determining residues in foods of thiabendazole, thlophanate methyl, the dl-oxygen analogue metabolite [dimethyl 4,4'-0-phenylene bis (allophanate)] that Is the metabolite name of the latter, and methyl-2- benzlmldazole carbamate, which Is the major metabolite and fungltoxlc principle common to both thlophanate methyl and benomyl. The residues are extracted from the product using methanol and are partitioned Into dlchloromethane after initial acidification and again after subsequent alkalinization of the extract. Residues are separated and quantified by reverse- phase liquid chromatography using an ion-pairing mobile phase with UV and fluorescence detectors In tandem. Recoveries from 7 different food crops fortified at 0.2-35 ppm levels ranged from 64 to 105%.
