THAI NGUYEN UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL AND FORESTRY ADVANED EDUCATION PROGRAM …… …… BACHELOR THESIS STUDY ON A HIGHLY SENSITIVE METHOD FOR DETERMINATION OF PESTICIDE RESIDUES IN TEA BY GAS SPECTROMETRY (GC/MS) Full Name : LE HUONG LY Study Mode : Full time Major : Food Technology Falculty : Advance Education Program Batch : 2016 - 2020 Supervisor : Dr Vu Thi Hanh Thai Nguyen, 8-2020 Thai Nguyen University of Agriculture and Forestry Degree Program Engineer of Food Technology Student name Le Huong Ly Student ID DTN 1653170006 Thesis Title STUDY ON A HIGHLY SENSITIVE METHOD FOR Supervisor(s) DETERMINATION OF PESTICIDE RESIDUES IN TEA Dr Vu Thi Hanh - Thai Nguyen University of Agriculture and Forestry, Vietnam Supervisor’s signature Abstract: Using your high sensitivity to analyze the three chemical compounds in tea simultaneously: Chlorpyrifos, α-Endosulfan, Bifenthrin The reality of the method is that many substances can be analyzed at the same time, with low concentration and detection limit and low quantitative limit The value of standard addition at the detection limit is 10µg/kg with S/N greater than and there is always one parent ion and daughter ions in accordance with criteria of 2002/657/EC From the results survey above, it shown that the method of determined active substances by gas chromatography system of mass spectrometry GC-MS with the following results: LOD of the analysis method of is 10µg/kg, limited limit amount (LOQ) equals 30µg/kg The average recoveries of analyte were in the range of 95-105% with linear regression coefficient r2≥0.998 and the variation is less than 10% From the above analysis results, it can be confirmed this method is fast, accurate and reliable for analyzing active substances in tea Keywords: GC-MS, tea, Chlorpyrifos, α-Endosulfan, Bifenthrin Number of pages: Date of submission: 51 17/08/2020 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In fact, there is no success that is not associated with the support or help of more or less, directly or indirectly from others To complete this thesis, firstly, I would like to express my sincere thanks and deep gratitude to the University Administrations, the leaders of the Faculty of Biotechnology - Food Technology, the lecturers of the Advanced Education Program Office, TUAF helped and gave me useful advices during the course of my thesis And especially, I would like to sincerely thank Dr Vu Thi Hanh paid attention to helping and enthusiastically guiding me to successfully complete this thesis I would like to express my deep thanks to The center for technical services and professional training in agroforestry-fishery quality - Thai Nguyen, of Thai Nguyen Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fishery Quality Assurance (Code: VILAS 1098; Location: Dong Quang ward, Thai Nguyen city, Thai Nguyen province), the staffs working in the center paid attention and helped Due to limited reasoning, practical experience and limited time, the report can not avoid shortcomings, I look forward to receiving your comments so that I can learn more and complete the report and achieve the best results Once again, I would like to sincerely thank and wish all the best for the health and the success in your noble career We wish our university achieved more success in education and more development Sincerely, Le Huong Ly i TABLE OF CONTENT ACKNOWLEDGMENTS i TABLE OF CONTENT ii LIST OF TABLES iv LIST OF FIGURES v LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS vi PART I INTRODUCTION 1 Overview 1.1 Rerseach rationale 1.2 Research’s objective 1.3 Research question 1.4 Limitations PART II DOCUMENT REVIEW 2.1 Introduction about tea 2.1.1 Growth of tea 2.1.3 Benefits of tea 2.2 Plant protection drugs 2.2.1 Important roles of plant protection drugs 2.2.2 Some plant protection drugs used for tea 2.2.3 Maximum allowed residue 2.3 Some methods for determination pesticide in tea 10 2.3.1 Traditional method: Quantitative analysis method (Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (2013) 10 2.3.2 QUECHERS method 11 2.4 Gas chromatography -
