Determination of Carbendazim and Benomyl Residues in Oranges and Orange Juice by Automated Online Sample Preparation Using TLX-LC-MS/MS
Determination of Carbendazim and Benomyl Residues in Oranges and Orange Juice by Automated Online Sample Preparation Using TLX-LC-MS/MS
21 Oct 2015This application note describes an adaptation of an existing online, multi-residue pesticide method proven and verified specially for the actual carbendazim contamination issue of orange juices in the US. Methyl 2-benzimidazole carbamate, most commonly known as carbendazim, is a widely used broad-spectrum benzimidazole fungicide and a decomposition product of benomyl. Carbendazim is used to control plant diseases in cereals and fruit, including citrus, bananas, strawberries, pineapples, and pome fruits. Many methods in widespread use for monitoring carbendazim have been developed for multi-residue determination of fungicides and employ a variety of sample preparation and cleanup techniques.
