Determination of quinomethionate (6-methylquinoline-2,3-diyldithiocarbonate) residues in crops by in situ fluorometry.
A simple method is described for the quantitative determination of quinomethionate (6-methylquinoline- 2,3 - diyldithiocarbonate) in crops. The pesticide residue is extracted with acetonitrile and partitioned in petroleum ether. After separation from the co-extractives by thin layer chromatography (TLC), the fluorescence is measured directly on a silica gel TLC plate. An average of 89% recovery is obtained at the 0.05 ppm level in apples, peaches, pears, and tomatoes.
