Chloropicrin은 국내에서는 사용되지 않으며, 잔류허용기준이 불검출로 설정된 농약이다. 그러나 중국에서는 훈증제, 살균제, 살선충제 및 저장 곡물의 살충제로 사용되고 있으며, 잔류허용기준이 설정되어 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 중국 등에서 수입하는 식품 중 국내에서 사용하지 않 는 농약에 대한 안전성을 확보하기 위하여 해당 농약을 신속하고 빠르게 검출할 수 있는 시험법을 개발하고자 하였다. Chloropicrin은 분자량이 작고 휘발성이 큰 화합물이므로 헤드스페이스 추출법을 활용하여 검체 추출액을 직접 GC에 주입하는 시험법을 개발하였으며, 확립된 시험법을 검증한 결과 회수율이 77.7~79.3%로 조사되어 코덱스 국제가이드라인(CAC/GL 40)에 적합함을 확인하였다. 정량 한계 또한 0.05 mg/kg 이하로 매우 우수한 감도를 가지고 있음을 확인하였으며, GC-MS를 이용한 재확인과정을 추 가로 확립하여 본 시험법의 신뢰도를 높였다. 확립된 시험법은 식품에 잔류할 수 있는 농약의 기준 준수여부에 대한 적합성을 판단하기 위한 공정시험법으로 활용되고 있다.

A simple and sensitive analytical method was developed using gas chromatography with electron capture detector (GC-ECD) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for determination of Picoxystrobin in agricultural products (apple, hulled rice, mushroom, pepper, soybean, and mandarin). Picoxystrobin residues were extracted with acetonitrile, partitioned with saline water, and then they were cleaned up on a florisil solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridge to obtain an extract suitable for analysis by GC-ECD and GC-MS. The method was validated using 6 agricultural product samples spiked with Picoxystrobin at different concentration levels (0.02, 0.05 and 0.5 mg/L). Average recoveries of Picoxystrobin (using each concentration three replicates) ranged 64.0~98.3% with relative standard deviations less than 10%, calibration solutions concentration in the range 0.1~5 mg/L, and limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were 0.005 and 0.02 mg/L, respectively. The result showed that the developed analytical method is suitable for Picoxystrobin determination in agricultural products.

Pesticides were extracted from samples with 70% acetone and methylene chloride in order, and then cleaned up via open-column chromatography apparatus packed with florisil, and finally analyzed simultaneously the organochlorine and pyrethroid pesticides using GC(ECD). An ultra-2 fused silica capillary column was used to separate and identify the products. The resolution between the last isomeric peak of cypermethrin(59.987min) and the first isomeric peak of flucythrinate(60.043min) was not satisfactory. The last isomeric peak of fenvalerate(62.344min) and the first isomeric peak of fluvalinate(62.397min) were overlapped. Recoveries of soybean sample for the most pesticides were 73.3% to 102.4%. Detection limits were between 0.004 and 0.063㎍/㎎ when this method was used.
