Laboratory of Food Inspection, Shandong Import and Export Commodity Inspection Bureau, Qingdao, China.

An approach using supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) followed by clean-up with a AgNO3-loaded Florisil column was utilized for the analysis of four organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in garlic. The organic sulfur extracted by SFE from garlic was removed by AgNO3 allowing OCPs to be determined by GC-electron-capture detection without interferences. All OCPs recoveries ranged from 85.0% to 110.0% and relative standard deviations were in the range of 3.9-7.2% for spiked samples. The described method may be used to analyze OCPs in garlic on a routine basis.

D002849	Chromatography, Gas	Fractionation of a vaporized sample as a consequence of partition between a mobile gaseous phase and a stationary phase held in a column. Two types are gas-solid chromatography, where the fixed phase is a solid, and gas-liquid, in which the stationary phase is a nonvolatile liquid supported on an inert solid matrix.
