Abstract
The herbicide paraquat was determined with extracts from 1-g samples of sunflower seeds. The liquid chromatography procedure utilized a microparticle (10 μm) C 18 reversed-phase column and isocratic elution with 27% acetronitrile in water, 10m M in the sodium salt of octanesulfonic acid. Eluted paraquat was detected at 254 and 280 nm and quantitated by paraquat internal standard peak height ratios. This procedure provided linear working curves over the concentration range of 0–20 μg/g of paraquat. Recovery of paraquat varied fom 89–101%, with an average recovery of 93%. Good agreement was obtained in the comparison of results of the described procedure with those from a well established UV procedure.
