Enhanced supercritical fluid carbon dioxide extraction of pesticides from foods using pelletized diatomaceous earth

Hopper, M.L. | King, J.W.
Supercritical fluid carbon dioxide (SC-CO2), when used with an extraction enhancer, comprises a supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) system for extraction of pesticides and matrix components from fatty and nonfatty foods. After being mixed with the enhancer, samples ranging from 95% water to pure lipophilic oils can be extracted efficiently with SC-CO2. This extraction technique yields analyte recoveries in excess of 85% for over 30 types of pesticides at incurred levels ranging from 0.005 to 2 ppm in such diverse matrixes as carrots, lettuce, peanut butter, hamburger, and fortified butter fat and fortified potatoes. SC-CO2 provides a solvent medium that is nontoxic, nonflammable, and inexpensive while also eliminating the use and disposal of potentially carcinogenic organic solvents.
