title: Determination of carbendazim in bananas by excitation-emission matrix fluorescence with three second-order calibration methods.
abstract: A novel method for determination of carbendazim in bananas is proposed in this study. After the bananas were simply extracted, the carbendazim was quantified under the interference of banana extract using the second-order calibration algorithms based on the parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC), the self-weighted alternating trilinear decomposition (SWATLD) and the alternating penalty trilinear decomposition algorithms (APTLD), respectively. For analysis of the complex samples, the so-called second-order advantage was adequately exploited and good results were obtained. Figures of merit, such as limit of detection, sensitivity and selectivity, were calculated to compare the performances of the three algorithms.
