Abstract
This work presents a simple, rapid and green chiral analysis method for five triazole fungicides (penconazole, tebuconazole, triadimefon, myclobutanil, and triadimenol) in tobacco, by which the samples were cleaned up by the novel pass-through solid phase extraction and subsequently the stereoisomers were separated and determined by the supercritical fluid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (SFC-MS/MS). Optimized separation of the stereoisomers was achieved on an ACQUITY UPC2 Trefoil AMY 1 column within 6 min. Under fortified concentration levels of 0.1, 0.5 and 2.0 mg/kg, the mean recoveries were 82.8-106.6%, the intra-day relative standard deviations (RSDs) were 1.1-6.6%, and the inter-day RSDs were 2.5-5.6%. The correlation coefficient was greater than 0.9926 for all studied analytes within the range of 10-500 ng/mL. The limits of detection (LODs) for all stereoisomers ranged from 0.26 μg/kg to 3.24 μg/kg. The established method was subsequently successfully applied to analyze authentic samples, confirming that this method is a novel, rapid and environmentally friendly method for the stereoselective separation of triazole fungicides in tobacco.
