Abstract

An analytical method was developed and validated for the determination of thiamethoxam in okra using LC-MS/MS. The LOQ was 0.002 μg g-1. The recoveries at the fortification level of 0.002, 0.01, and 0.02 μg g-1 were in the range of 75.45-80.99% with an RSD of 3.54-4.16%. Thiamethoxam applied at 25 (single dose) and 50 (double dose) g a.i. ha, recorded initial deposit of 1.541 and 3.117 μg g-1 and half-life of 3.28 and 4.05 days were observed at single and double dose, respectively. The residue of thiamethoxam in fruits was reduced by simple decontamination methods to 20.34-60.63%. Risk due to the dietary exposure was calculated for thiamethoxam and found safe on all the sampling days.
