Abstract

An extraction method based on matrix solid-phase dispersion was developed to determine carbofuran, pyrimethanil and tetraconazole in banana using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. The best results were obtained using 2.0 g of banana, 1.0 g of silica as dispersant sorbent and n-hexane:ethyl acetate (1:4, v/v) as eluting solvent. The method was validated using banana samples fortified with pesticides at different concentration levels (0.05–2.0 mg kg−1). Average recoveries (four replicates) ranged from 68 to 111%, with relative standard deviations between 6.6 and 20.5%. Detection and quantification limits for banana ranged from 0.02 to 0.05 and 0.05 to 0.10 mg kg−1, respectively.
