Abstract

This analytical method can be used to monitor Propham residues in potatoes.

Introduction

Propham is the active substance used as herbicides and potato sprout inhibitor. This analytical method can be used to monitor Propham residues in potatoes.

Experimental

Pre-treatment

1. Add 15 g of ground potatoes into a 50 mL centrifuge tube.

2. Add 15 mL 1% acetic acid in acetonitrile and shake.

3. Add 1.5 g anhydrous sodium acetate and 6 g anhydrous magnesium sulfate (equivalent to contents of DisQuE Pouch, AOAC method).

4. Centrifuge >1500 rcf for 1 minute.

5. Take out 7.5 mL extract and dilute to 10 mL with 2.5 mL toluene.
