Analysis of thiabendazole and procymidone in fruits and vegetables by capillary electrophoresis-electrospray mass spectrometry.

A capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry method for determining procymidone and thiabendazole in apples, grapes, oranges, pears, strawberries and tomatoes is described. Separation is achieved using a buffer of formic acid-ammonium formate at pH 3.5 with 2% of methanol. Fungicide residues present in the sample are preconcentrated by both solid-phase extraction and injection of large sample volumes into the capillary by a stacking technique, to obtain lower detection limits. Ionization is performed at atmospheric pressure in an electrospray type source and detection is carried out using positive ionization and selected ion monitoring modes. The quantitation limits are 0.005 and 0.05 mg kg(-1), and the mean recoveries are 64 and 75% for thiabendazole and procymidone, respectively, with relative standard deviations below 12% (n=5). Real fruit and vegetable samples are analyzed by the proposed method showing that residues of both fungicides are frequently present.[1]
