Abstract

Azoxystrobin, fluazinam, kresoxim-methyl, mepanipyrim, and tetraconazole were determined in grapes, must, and wine by a gas chromatographic method with nitrogen-phosphorus (NP) and mass spectrometric (MS) detectors. Pesticides were isolated from the matrixes by online microextraction with acetone-hexane (50 + 50, v/v). Because of the high selectivity of NP and MS detectors, no interferent peaks were present and no cleanup was necessary. Recoveries from fortified grapes, must, and wine ranged from 80 to 111%, with coefficients of variation ranging from 1 to 14%. Limits of determination were 0.05 mg/kg for kresoxim-methyl and 0.10 mg/kg for the other compounds.
