Determination of chlorpyrifos, penconazole, fenarimol, vinclozolin and metalaxyl in grapes, must and wine by on-line microextraction and gas chromatography

J Chromatogr A. 1999 Feb 12;833(1):43-51. doi: 10.1016/s0021-9673(98)00860-7.

Abstract

A rapid gas chromatographic method for determination of residue levels of one insecticide (chlorpyrifos) and four fungicides (penconazole, fenarimol, vinclozolin and metalaxyl) in grapes, must and wine is described. An on-line microextraction method was used. The matrix, once extracted with a mixture of acetone-dichloromethane (1:1, v/v) was filtered and concentrated. Electron-capture detection for chlorpyrifos, penconazole, fenarimol and vinclozolin and mass-selective detection in the selected-ion monitoring mode for metalaxyl were utilised. No clean-up was necessary because there were no interferences in the area of interest of the chromatogram. Linearity of both detectors, in the range 0.02-2 ng/microliter, was checked. In all cases, the correlation coefficient was the same or superior to 0.997. Recoveries from spiked grapes, must and wine ranged from 78% to 101% (fortification level, 0.1-1 mg/kg). Limits of determination were between 0.01 mg/kg for metalaxyl and 0.001 mg/kg for vinclozolin.
