What are we determining using gas chromatographic multiresidue methods: tralomethrin or deltamethrin?

The analytical behaviour of the relatively new pyrethroid insecticide tralomethrin has been evaluated by using gas chromatography (GC) with electron-capture and mass spectrometry (MS) detectors, and liquid chromatography (LC)-atmospheric pressure ionization mass spectrometry with electrospray interfacing. Under the GC conditions commonly used in pesticide residue analysis, it was found that tralomethrin is transformed into deltamethrin (in a reproducible way) in the injector port of the GC system. Results obtained in this work indicate that the GC multiresidue methodologies routinely applied in the analysis of pyrethroid pesticides in foods cannot distinguish between these two pesticides, and the chromatographic signal obtained at the retention time of deltamethrin/tralomethrin can be really quantified as either deltamethrin or tralomethrin, including when it is confirmed as deltamethrin by MS. Under the LC-MS conditions assessed in this work, deltamethrin and the two diasteroisomers of tralomethrin were well separated and identified.[1]
