Abstract

The metal-organic framework [(Nd0.9Eu0.1)2(DPA)3(H2O)3] was tested for extraction of thiamethoxam, thiacloprid, thiophanate-methyl, teflubenzuron, and bifenthrin from soursop exotic fruit (Annona muricata), with analysis using liquid chromatography with UV diode array detector (DAD). Experiments were carried out at one fortification level (0.5 mg kg−1, n = 5) and resulted in recoveries in the range 78 to 88 %, with relative standard deviation (RSD) values between 2.2 and 8.0 % for [(Nd0.9Eu0.1)2(DPA)3(H2O)3] sorbent. Detection and quantification limits were in the ranges 0.03–0.05 and 0.1–0.2 mg kg−1, respectively, for the different pesticides studied. The method developed was linear over the range tested (0.08–100 mg kg−1), with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.9995 to 0.9999. Comparison between [(Nd0.9Eu0.1)2(DPA)3(H2O)3] and conventional sorbent (Florisil) showed similar performance of [(Nd0.9Eu0.1)2(DPA)3(H2O)3] polymeric sorbent for all pesticides tested.
