Abstract

An unknown peak (peak A) was detected in a mass chromatogram of komatsuna extract containing a high concentration of phenthoate (PAP), and it was considered to be O,O,S-trimethyl phosphorodithioate (OOS). Although it is generally known that OOS exists as an impurity in technical malathion and PAP, it has not been reported that OOS is present in crops. Since an OOS standard is not commercially available, OOS was separated and purified from commercial emulsifiable malathion. Peak A was confirmed to be OOS by GC/MS using the purified OOS. The concentration of OOS was estimated to be 0.02 microgram/g. It is supposed that OOS was detected in crops because they contained a high concentration of PAP residue.
