A method by GC/MS has been established for the determination of Etoxazole in agricaltural products. Etoxazole was decomposed by acid contained in citrus fruits, but this decomposition could be prevented by addition of sodium acetate solution and extraction above pH 4. In the present method, the Etoxazole in agricultural products was extracted with acetone above pH 4, concentrated, and reextracted with n-hexane. After partition with acetonitrile followed by chromatographic clean-up with Florisil, the sample was subjected to GC/MS. The present method is excellent in sensitivity and has a detection limit of 0.002 micro g/g, and thus is about 10 times as sensitive as that of GC-NPD. The recovery by the present method is over 85% except for tea, the C.V. of recovery is less than 8%, and the method is applicable to actual samples.
