Abstract A procedure for extracting glyphosate and its meta bolite, (aminomethyl)phosphonic acid, from river water and for determining these 2 compounds by gas chromatography/ion trap mass spectrometry is described. Both compounds were extracted with Bio-Rad AG 1-X8 anion-exchange resin (formate form) prior to derivatization with a mixture of trifluoroacetic anhydride and trifluoroethanol. Limits of detection for glyphosate and its metabolite were 1 ppb even when as little as 10 mL water was analyzed. Recoveries of both compounds from river water fortified at 50 ppb were >90%.

Abstract An analytical method has been developed for determination of glyphosate herbicide and its major metabolite, (aminomethyl)phosphonic acid (AMFA), in natural waters. Sample pretreatment consisted of filtration, addition of phosphate buffer, concentration by rotary evaporation, and a final filtration before derivatization with 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate. The derivatives were separated by anion exchange liquid chromatography and measured with a fluorescence detector. Standard curves were linear over 3 orders of magnitude and minimal detectable quantities were 10 ng/mL for glyphosate and 5 ng/mL for AMPA. The 20-fold concentration factor realized in sample preparation corresponds to ppb method detection limits for glyphosate and AMPA in natural waters. Recovery and storage studies were performed and are discussed.

Abstract An analytical method is described for the determination of mono- and dialkylamines in foodstuffs. Amines are derivatized to their pentafluorobenzamides which may be separated by gas chromatography (GC) and determined using an N-P detector. Analysis of the derivatives by GC-mass spectrometry indicated they were all mono-substituted. The amines were isolated from foodstuffs by alkaline distillation of ≥75% sample volume. The distribution of dimethylamine (DMA) in distillate volumes indicated 2 maxima from barley and malt, which could represent 2 or more sources of DMA. DMA concentrations of 6.6-8.8 ppm in barley, 11 ppm in malt, and 1.2 ppm in beer are higher than previously reported.

Abstract A method is presented for determining the herbicide tordon (4-amino-3,5,6-trichIoropicolinic acid) in soil. It involves extraction of tordon as the free acid with acetone and phosphoric acid, followed by esterification with diazomethane and estimation of the methyl ester by electron capture gas chromatography. Recoveries of tordon added to soil samples at 0.05—1.0 ppm were between 83 and 92%. The minimum amount detectable by this method was 0.01 ppm. The difficulties of developing an analytical method for this compound are discussed in the light of its structure and solubility
