Study of the voltammetric behaviour of maleic hydrazide and its determination at a hanging mercury drop electrode

Voltammetric behaviour of maleic hydrazide pesticide dissolved in a Britton-Robertson buffer was investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). It was found that the process at the Hg electrode was diffusion controlled; the reaction was irreversible and involved a change of one proton and a transfer of one electron. A quantitative differential pulse voltammetric method for determination of maleic hydrazide was developed on the basis of these studies involving the reduction of the compound at a hanging mercury drop electrode. A linear calibration was obtained in the range of 0.5-5.5 mg l⁻¹, and the developed DPV methodology was then applied for the determination of maleic hydrazide in spiked vegetable samples by the standard addition method. Satisfactory percentage R.S.D. (∼2%), percentage recovery values (∼85%) and LOD (0.215 mg l⁻¹) were obtained. These compared well with the results from the alternative spectrophotometric method.

Properties and determination of pesticides in fruits and vegetables

The intensive development of agriculture means that more and more toxic organic and inorganic compounds are entering the environment. Because of their widespread use, stability, selective toxicity and bioaccumulation, pesticides are among the most toxic substances contaminating the environment. They are particularly dangerous in fruit and vegetables, by which people are exposed to them. It is therefore crucial to monitor pesticide residues in fruit and vegetables using all available analytical methods.We set out the problems in the determination of organonitrogen and organophosphorus pesticides in samples of fruit and vegetables, including the complexity and the diversity of matrices in biological materials, and the very low level of pesticides present, as a result of which target analytes have to be isolated and then enriched prior to final determination.We discuss the various stages in the determination of pesticide residues in fruit and vegetables. We present results from the literature in the context of Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) of target pesticides in fruit and vegetable samples. We discuss the merits of the Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe (QuEChERS) technique and two-dimensional gas chromatography.     

Determination of coumaphos, chlorpyrifos and ethion residues in propolis tinctures by matrix solid-phase dispersion and gas chromatography coupled to flame photometric and mass spectrometric detection

A new analytical method has been developed and successfully evaluated in routine application for the quantitative analysis of a selected group of organophosphate pesticides (coumaphos, chlorpyrifos and ethion) which can be found at trace levels in propolis tinctures (ethanolic propolis extracts); a valuable commodity used as raw material in the food and pharmaceutical industries for which there have been few attempts for pesticide residue analysis reported in the literature. The proposed methodology is based on matrix solid phase dispersion (MSPD) using aluminum sulfate anh. a novel dispersant material and subsequent column chromatography clean-up in silica gel prior to gas chromatography (GC) with both flame photometric detector (FPD) and mass spectrometry (MS) detection used for the routine quantification and identification of the residues, respectively. The limits of detection, for coumaphos, chlorpyrifos and ethion were below 26.0 μg/kg in FPD and 1.43 μg/kg for MS detection. Mean recoveries were in the range of 85-123% with RSD values below 13%, which suggests that the proposed method is fit for the purpose of analyzing pesticides in propolis tinctures containing high concentration of polyphenolics. The method has been successfully applied in our laboratory for the last 2 year in the analysis of real propolis tinctures samples.

Indirect Determination of the Pesticide Malathion by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry

Abstract

A method for the indirect determination of the pesticide malathion by atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS) is proposed and compared with the standard spectrophotometric method.

A study of the influence of the different variables on the hydrolysis and extraction is carried out in order to obtain the best experimental conditions.

The proposed method offers clear advantages over the standard procedure because of the instability of the Cu (II) complex formed. Both methods are applied to the determination of malathion in two commercial formulations.     

Analysis of environmental pollutants metabolized from pesticides using capillary electrophoresis with multiphoton-excited fluorescence detection

Multiphoton-excited fluorescence by diode laser of continuous wave was uniquely developed for capillary electrophoresis to determine aniline species metabolized from pesticides. To achieve 2-photon excitation fluorescence, derivatization procedure was performed using fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC). The concentration ratio of FITC to the analytes was discussed for quantitative analysis. Several parameters that influenced separation quality of capillary zone electrophoresis were investigated, such as applied voltage, buffer pH value and concentration, etc. Under the optimized conditions, four pesticide residues were completely separated and determined within 4 min, with detection limit down to zepptomole level (calculated detection volume: 45.0 aL). Quantitative analyses exhibited excellent linear dynamic relationship in the range of about two orders of magnitude. The established method was further validated by testing spiked lake water sample.
