Abstract

A new method for the determination of 1,5-bis(2,4-dimethylphenyl)-3-methyl-1,3,5-triazopenta-1,4-diene (Amitraz) in honey by derivative spectrophotometry is proposed. Amitraz is extracted from aqueous honey solutions with CCI₄ and it is determined between 0.1 and 1.5 μg. ml⁻¹ from the first-derivative spectrum by measuring the peak amplitude at 332 nm (¹D₃₃₂), as the vertical distance from the peak to the baseline.
