Imicyafos which is a nematicide for controlling root-knot nematodes has been registered in theRepublic of Korea in 2012, and the maximum residue limits of imicyafos are set to watermelon and koreanmelon as each 0.05 mg/kg. Extremely reliable and sensitive analytical method is required for ensuring foodsafety on imicyafos residues in agricultural commodities. Imicyafos residues in samples were extracted withacetone, partitioned with hexane and dichloromethane, and then purified with florisil. The purified samples wereanalyzed by HPLC-UVD and confirmed with LC-MS. Linear range was between 0.1~5 mg/kgwith thecorrelation coefficient (r 2 ) 0.99997. Average recoveries of imicyafos ranged from 77.0 to 115.4% at the spikedlevels of 0.02 and 0.05 mg/kg with the relative standard deviations of 2.2~9.6%. Limit of detection andquantification were 0.005 and 0.02 mg/kg, respectively. An inter-laboratory study was conducted to validatethe determination method in depth, and the results were satisfactory. All of the validation results revealed thatthe developed analytical method in this study is relevant for imicyafos determination in agricultural commoditiesand will be used as an official analytical method.요약: Imicyafos는 뿌리혹선충류, 뿌리선충류, 뿌리썩이선충류 등의 방제에 효과적인 살선충제로 국내에는 2012년에 처음 사용 등록되었으며, 식품의약품안전처에서 수박과 참외에 신규 잔류허용기준(0.05mg/kg)을 신설·고시하였다 .

Fenpyrazamine which is a pyrazole fungicide class for controlling gray mold, sclerotinia rot, and Monilinia in grapevines, stone fruit trees, and vegetables has been registered in republic of Korea in 2013 and the maximum residue limits of fenpyrazamine is set to grape, peach, and mandarin as 5.0, 2.0, and 2.0 mg/ kg, respectively. Very reliable and sensitive analytical method for determination of fenpyrazamine residues is required for ensuring the food safety in agricultural products. Fenpyrazamine residues in samples were extracted with acetonitrile, partitioned with dichloromethane, and then purified with silica-SPE cartridge and eluted with hexane and acetone mixture. The purified samples were determined by HPLC-UVD and confirmed with LC- MS and quantified using external standard method. Linear range of fenpyrazamine was between 0.1~5.0 µg/mL with the correlation coefficient (r) 0.999. The average recovery ranged from 71.8 to 102.7% at the spiked level of 0.05, 0.5, and 5.0 mg/kg, while the relative standard deviation was between 0.1 and 7.3%. In addition, limit of detection and limit of quantitation were 0.01 and 0.05 mg/L, respectively. The results revealed that the developed and validated analytical method is possible for fenpyrazamine determination in agricultural product samples and will be used as an official analytical method.

Pyrifluquinazon is classified with a quinazoline insecticide that regulates food intake by controling the feeding behavior acting on the endocrine or nervous system of pests such as aphids and white fly. To keep safety on pyrifluquinazon residues in agricultural commodities a simple, accurate and rapid analytical method was developed and validated using high performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC-UVD). The pyrifluquinazon residues acidified with 1% formic acid in samples were extracted with acetonitrile and partitioned with hexane subsequently to dichloromethane then purified with silica solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridge. The purified samples were detected using HPLC-UVD. The method was validated using apple and pear spiked with pyrifluquinazon at 0.02, 0.05 and 0.1 mg/kg and hulled rice, pepper, soybean at 0.05 and 0.1 mg/kg. Average recoveries were 70.5~107.9% with relative standard deviation less than 10%. The result of recoveries and overall coefficient of variation of a laboratory results in Gwangju regional FDA and Daejeon regional FDA was followed with Codex guideline (CODEX CAC/GL 40). This method is appropriated at pyrifluquinazon residues determination and will be used as official method of analysis.

A new, rapid, and simple analytical method was developed and validated using high performance liquid chromatograph-photodiode array detector (HPLC-PAD) for the determination of lepimectin residues in agricultural commodities. The lepimectin residues in samples were extracted with methanol, partitioned with dichloromethane, and then purified with glass column filled with subsequently to aminopropyl () solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridge. The purified samples were detected using HPLC-PAD. Correlation coefficient () of both lepimectin and solutions were 0.9999. The method was validated using cucumber spiked with lepimectin at 0.02 and 0.2 mg/kg and pepper, mandarin, hulled rice, potato, soybean at 0.02 and 0.5 mg/kg. Average recoveries were 76.0~114.8% with relative standard deviation less than 10%, and limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were 0.005 and 0.01 mg/kg, respectively. The result of recoveries and overall coefficient of variation of a laboratory results in Gwangju regional KFDA and Daejeon regional KFDA was followed with Codex guideline (CAC/GL 40). Therefore, developed method in this study is accurate, rapid, and appropriate for lepimectin determination and will be used to keep safety of lepimectin residues in agricultural products.
