Carbamate pesticide residues are extracted from vegetables and fruits with methylene chloride. The extracts are spotted on silica gel plates and the pesticides are detected by an enzymatic inhibition technique. For quantitative determination, aliquots of the methylene chloride extracts are evaporated to dryness in a rotary evaporator. After the residues are dissolved in ethanol, 0.5N NaOH is added in the hydrolysis step. To remove a number of possible interferences the hydrolyzed phenols are steam-distilled and treated with 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene and/or 4-chloro-alpha,alpha,alpha-trifluoro-3,5-dinitrotoluene to form the ether derivatives. Efficiency in the conversion of the phenolic moieties to the phenyl ethers is about 100%. The resulting electron-capturing derivatives enable the carbamate pesticides to be detected in vegetables and fruits at the 0.05 ppm level. Recoveries of 90-94% were obtained from vegetables and fruits fortified with 0.5-2.0 ppm carbaryl, Mesurol, and propoxur.
