Abstract A validation of a previously studied method for determining organochlorine residues in poultry fat was conducted to extend the usefulness of the method to beef and swine fats. The validation samples consisted of 16 materials all analyzed in duplicate. Fortification levels ranged from 0.02 to 1.2 ppm for a-BHC, lindane, cis- and Irans-chlordane, octachlor epoxide, o,p'- and p,p'-DDT, p,p'-DDE, p,p'-TDE, hexachlorobenzene, heptachlor epoxide, dieldrin, endrin, methoxychlor, mirex, and toxaphene. The average recovery was 101 % with a range of 7 9 - 113%, not including toxaphene. The ranges of coefficients of variation wtreCV. = 0-23.37% and CVX = 3.74-26.19%. The results were comparable to the previous collaborative study of the same method for poultry fat. The extended method has been adopted official first action

Abstract A gas chromatographic electron capture detector method is described for the quantitative determination of organochlorine pesticide residues in poultry fat. The samples are rendered and cleaned up using automated gel permeation chromatography. The collaborative samples consisted of 10 fortified samples and one incurred residue sample, all in duplicate. Fortification levels ranged from 0.15 to 1.0 ppm for a-BHC, lindane, cis- and frans-chlordane, octachlor epoxide, o,p' and p,p'-DDT, p,p'-DDE, p,p'-TDE, hexachlorobenzene, heptachlor epoxide, dieldrin, endrin, methoxychlor, mirex, and toxaphene. The average recovery was 91.9% with a range of 81-102%. The ranges of coefficients of variation were: CVo = 3.39-14.79%; CVL = 0-16.6%; and CVx = 5.82-19.0%. The results indicate accuracy and precision comparable to other official methodology. The method has been adopted official first action.

Abstract A GLC method (flame ionization detector) for ronnel in cattle feeds at levels of 0.038, 0.041, and 0.055% was studied by 11 collaborators. The method involves extraction of ronnel by shaking with acetone followed by direct chromatographic measurement. The method is simple and rapid (no cleanup required), measures true ronnel, and is free from interferences present in the UV methods previously studied. Agreement between laboratories was satisfactory; coefficients of variation were 11.0, 12.0, and 7.2%. Ronnel recoveries were 81.1, 93.5, and 98.0%. Low recovery from the first sample may be due to ronnel hydrolysis or binding during storage (sample was 8 months old). The Associate Keferee recommends that the method be adopted as official first action.

Abstract A collaborative study was conducted on a gas chromatographic method for determination of fensulfothion. Eleven laboratories analyzed 2 technical and two 6 lb/U.S. gal. spray concentrate samples. In the analysis, samples are dissolved in methylene chloride which contains 4-chlorophenyl sulfoxide as an internal standard, and solutions are injected into a gas chromatograph equipped with an OV-330 column. Withinlaboratory repeatability was 0.79% for technical product and 0.37% for the spray concentrate samples, with coefficients of variation of 0.88 and 0.58%, respectively. Among-laboratories reproducibility was 0.81% for technical product and 0.53% for the spray concentrate, with coefficients of variation of 0.91 and 0.84%, respectively. The method has been adopted official first action.

Abstract A GLC method for ipronidazole in turkey feeds at levels of 0.0033, 0.0066, and 0.0099% was studied by 7 laboratories. Ipronidazole is extracted by shaking with warm 0.2N HCl. An aliquot of the extract is made alkaline and the ipronidazole is extracted with benzene and diluted further for GLC with an electron capture detector. The method is simple, rapid, and free from interference. Agreement between laboratories was very satisfactory; coefficients of variation were 7.1, 3.0, and 8.0%. Recoveries of ipronidazole were 97, 96, and 99%. It is recommended that the method be adopted as official first action and that the study be continued.

Abstract Six laboratories collaboratively studied a headspace gas chromatographic method for determination of ethanol in the aqueous phase of canned salmon. Ethanol is determined by a headspace sampling technique with tert-butanol as the internal standard, using a gas chromatograph equipped with a Super Q column and a flame ionization detector. With outliers excluded, the mean recoveries from samples spiked with 25.1 and 78.4 ppm ethanol were 112 and 110%, respectively. For the 4 sample pairs quantitated, repeatability coefficients of variation ranged from 1.42 to 4.25% and reproducibility coefficients of variation from 2.55 to 8.09%, with 3 of the 4 reported values less than 5%. The method has been adopted official first action.

Abstract Eleven collaborators participated in this study of a gas chromatographic method for the determination of pentachlorophenol (PCP) in gelatin. Following acid hydrolysis of a 2 g sample, PCP is extracted with hexane and partitioned into KOH solution. After reacidification, PCP is again extracted with hexane for determination by electron capture gas chromatography on a 1 % SP-1240DA column. Three duplicate practice samples (0.0, 0.5, and 1.5 ppm) and 5 blind duplicate collaborative samples (0.0, 0.02, 0.1, 0.5, and 2.0 ppm) were analyzed by each collaborator. Mean recoveries of PCP in the collaborative samples ranged from 88% at the 0.02 ppm fortification level to 102% at the 0.1 ppm level; the overall mean recovery was 96%. Interlaboratory coefficients of variation ranged from 16.4% for the 0.1 ppm fortification level to 22.9% for the 0.5 ppm level; the overall interlaboratory coefficient of variation was 19.5%. The method has been adopted official first action.

Abstract The AOAC multiresidue method for chlorinated pesticides, 29.001–29.017, was studied collaboratively by 7 laboratories. Perthane, heptachlor epoxide, mirex, and dieldrin were determined in apple and cauliflower samples fortified at 2 levels, and Perthane was determined in butterfat samples fortified at 2 levels. Perthane was quantitatively measured before and after a simplified dehydrochlorination procedure. Average recoveries and coefficients of variations for pesticides in the apple samples for both levels were: Perthane 100±10%, heptachlor epoxide 102±14%, mirex 96±9%, dieldrin 101±14%, and Perthane (after dehydrochlorination and recalculation to the parent compound) 100±9%. Average recoveries and coefficients of variation for pesticides in the cauliflower samples for both levels were: Perthane 105±9%, heptachlor epoxide 103± 15%, mirex 103±7%, dieldrin 98±11%, and Perthane (after dehydrochlorination and recalculation) 100±10%. The average recovery for both levels of Perthane (after dehydrochlorination and recalculation) in the butterfat samples was 91±10%. For a spinach sample with field-incurred residues the collaborators found an average of 4.47 ppm Perthane before dehydrochlorination and 5.09 ppm Perthane as the olefin after dehydrochlorination. In most instances, the identities of all the residues were confirmed by TLC. The dehydrochlorination technique has been adopted as official first action.
