Supercritical fluid extraction and off-line clean-up for the analysis of organochlorine pesticide residues in garlic.
An approach using supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) followed by clean-up with a AgNO3-loaded Florisil column was utilized for the analysis of four organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in garlic. The organic sulfur extracted by SFE from garlic was removed by AgNO3 allowing OCPs to be determined by GC-electron-capture detection without interferences. All OCPs recoveries ranged from 85.0% to 110.0% and relative standard deviations were in the range of 3.9-7.2% for spiked samples. The described method may be used to analyze OCPs in garlic on a routine basis.
