Non-fatty foods - Multiresidue methods for the gas chromatographic determination of pesticide residues - Part 2: Methods for extraction and clean-up

Scope

This European Standard specifies methods for the extraction and clean-up of non-fatty food samples for quantitative determination of pesticide residues. Different solvents can be used for this purpose. These pesticide residues are generally associated with other co-extracted compounds which would interfere in the analysis. To purify the crude extracts to be analysed, several techniques can be used.
