Ji-Eun Kwon, Jung-Ah Do, Hyejin Park, Ji-Young Lee, Yoon-Jae Cho,Jae-Ho Oh, Gyu-Seek Rhee, Sang-Jae Lee, and Moon-Ik Chang*Food Safety Evaluation Department, National Institute of Food and Drug Safety Evaluation, MFDSAbstract A sensitive and simple analytical method to identify flutianil residues in agricultural commodities wasdeveloped and validated using gas chromatography-electron capture detection (GC-ECD) and mass spectrometry (GC-MS).The flutianil residues were extracted with acetonitrile, partitioned with dichloromethane, and then purified using a silicasolid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridge. The method was validated using pepper, sweet pepper, mandarin, hulled rice,soybean, and potato spiked with 0.02 or 0.2 mg/kg flutianil. The average recovery of flutianil was 76.5-108.0% with arelative standard deviation of less than 10%. The limit of detection and limit of quantification were 0.004 and 0.02 mg/kg, respectively. The result of recoveries and relative standard deviation were in line with Codex Alimentarius CommissionGuidelines (CAC/GL 40). These results show that the method developed in this study is appropriate for flutianilidentification and can be used to maintain the safety of agricultural products containing flutianil residues.Keywords: flutianil, fungicide, GC-ECD, GC-MS, agricultural commodities |
