Abstract:In order to establish the determination of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid(2,4-D) residues by high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC),four vegetables and fruits of tomato, grape, loquat and cucumber were determined by solid phase extraction and high-performance liquid chromatography (SPE-HPLC) in this paper. The sample was extracted and acidified with alkali aqueous solution, and purified by the SPE-C18 column. The results indicated that the analysis method was accurate, with correlation coefficient of 0.9980, and detecting limit of 2,4-D acid were 0.0012 mg·kg-1, and the average recoveries ranged from 81.8% to 116.0%, and the coefficient of variation (CV) was less than 6%, which can be used for determined 2,4-D acid residues in above-mentioned four kinds of vegetables and fruits. 2,4-D acid residues in 21 samples of four kinds of vegetables and fruits were determined in this method, and only 2 tomato samples were determined 2,4-D acid residues, with less than 0.02 mg·kg-1. The above experiments provided basis for the detection of 2,4-D acid residues in 4 kinds of fruits and vegetables by HPLC.
