A comparison of chromatographic and spectrophotometric methods for the determination of carbaryl residues in cabbages

A number of analytical methods have been published for the determination of carbaryl (1-naphthalenyl methylcarbamate). These include inter alia gas chromatographic methods; high-performance liquid chromatographic methods; thin-layer chromatographic methods; and a spectrophotometric method. The analy...

Description
Summary:A number of analytical methods have been published for the determination of carbaryl (1-naphthalenyl methylcarbamate). These include inter alia gas chromatographic methods; high-performance liquid chromatographic methods; thin-layer chromatographic methods; and a spectrophotometric method. The analyst thus is confronted with a bewildering array of methods and usually chooses a method which may seem to be suited to his/her laboratory. The relative speed, precision, accuracy and cost of these methods are usually not taken into consideration. Another important factor is the ease of handling the method. This study was undertaken to compare a number of methods for the above considerations.
