Abstract
A sensitive, selective Spectrofluorimetric method has been developed for the determination of thiabendazole in a sodium dodecylsulphate micellar medium. The method features a linear determination range of 0.020-15 μg and a detection limit of 0.2 ng/ml, with a relative standard deviation of less than 3%. By using a straightforward extraction procedure with ethyl acetate and hydrochloric acid, the method provided average thiabendazole recoveries above 96% from apple, pear and potato samples.
