title: Some applications of solid phase micro extraction (SPME) in the analysis of pesticide residues in food.
abstract: The Solid Phase Micro-Extraction (SPME) technique was applied to analyze chlorpropham in potatoes and amitraz in honey. The homogenized sample, suspended in water and stirred, was extracted with a 100 microns thick polidimetylsiloxane fiber and desorbed into the injection port of a gas chromatograph/mass-spectrometer (quadrupole) operating in single ion monitoring. Sensitivities down to 0.01 mg/Kg and linear responses in the range of 0.01-0.1 mg/Kg were obtained. The results of SPME pesticide residue analysis in potatoes corresponded to those obtained with a traditional multiresidue method.
