Abstract:
A method for determining aldicarb residue in tobacco by GC/FPD was developed.Aldicarb in tobacco was extracted with methanol, oxidized by H
2O
2, purified by liquid-liquid partition with CH
2Cl
2 to remove the components interfering GC separation of aldicarb, and then determined by GC/FPD.The aldicarb residue in tobacco was quantitated by an external standard method.The detection limit of this method was 0.04
μg/g, the recoveries of aldicarb residue from tobacco samples were from 83.12% to 99.16% and the RSD was from 5.56% to 10.77%.
