Abstract:

A method is described for the simultaneous determination of organophosphorus and triazine pesticides in olive oil, whereby reversed-phase liquid chromatography (LC) is coupled to gas chromatography by means of an automated through-oven transfer adsorption-desorption (TOTAD) interface. The olive oil needs to be filtered only before it is loaded into the liquid chromatograph, where preseparation of the pesticide residues from the other olive oil components is carried out by using methanol-water as the eluant. The LC fraction containing the pesticides is automatically transferred to the gas chromatograph by using the TOTAD interface, which almost totally eliminates the solvent, so that water-sensitive detectors such as the nitrogen-phosphorus detector can be used. Detection limits range from 0.07 to 0.38 μg/L for organophosphorus pesticides and from 6.0 to 7.0 μg/L for triazines. The results were compared with those obtained by flame ionization detection.
