Investigation of pesticide ruins by LC-MS/MS and GC-MS chromatography in sweet fennel seed (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.)
Abstract
The aim of present study was to investigate the effects of the pesticide residues on the seeds of sweet fennel, Foeniculum vulgare Mill. cv. Dulce, grown by good agricultural practices. The sweet fennel was grown in Tefenni town of Burdur provience in South Western Part of Turkey. The residue analyses were done by GC-MS/MS and LC-MS/MS chromatographies. Total 186 active substances in used pesticides during the cultivation period were analyzed by LC-MS/MS chromatography meanwhile 116 active substances of pesticides by GC-MS/MS chromatography device were analyzed in sweet fennel seed. This study was conducted in years of 2012 and 2013 consecutively. Detectable pesticide residues have not been measured in the samples.
