Development of Multi-Residue Methods for Carbamate Pesticides by the Enzyme Inhibition Test
This study was carried out with the detection for multiresidue of the carbamate pesticide such as carbaryl and cabofuran by enzyme-inhibition method. The check time for determination of acetylcholinesterase(AChE) activity was selected at 60 sec. The AChE activity in chicken brain determined by the Ellman's method was 162 μmol/min/g protein. I50 for AChE by carbamate pesticide with wet kit was 0.169 mg/L of carbaryl and 0.089 mg/L of cabofuran, respectively. The incubation time for enzyme kit with substrate kit was 30min for determination of AChE activity. Enzyme kit with substrate kit was stable at 4oC and 25℃ for 5 days. Limit detection concentration of carbaryl with dry kit for AChE was 0.05 mg/L. The dry kit such as wet kit applied Enzyme-Inhibition(EI) method with AChE was confirmed the multiresidue method to detect the carbamate pesticides.
