Abstract
An alternate single quadrupole gas chromatography coupled with electron ionization mass spectrometry (GC-EI-MS) method was developed and validated for the determination chlorantraniliprole residue in tomato and soil. The target analyte was extracted from selected matrices with acetonitrile followed by dispersive solid-phase extraction clean up with primary secondary amine and graphitized carbon black sorbent to remove co-extractives prior to analysis. Limit of quantification of the method was 0.01 μg/g and the recovery of chlorantraniliprole was in the range of 92–99% with RSD of less than 3%. The dissipation kinetics of chlorantraniliprole in tomato and soil followed first-order kinetics with the half-life of 1.26 and 1.77 days, respectively. A safe waiting period of 1 day suggested for safe consumption of tomato fruits considering the FSSAI maximum residue limit of 0.6 μg/g. The residue concentrations were reduced in the range of 13 to 64% from tomato fruit using simple household approaches. The present study suggested that the use of chlorantraniliprole in tomato does not seem to pose any dietary risk to consumers. The ecological risk quotient (RQ) values indicated that the chlorantraniliprole residues in the soil may pose a medium level of risk to earthworms and arthropods during this period
