Abstract:
The aim of this study was to monitor selected pesticides (Carbendazim, Acetamiprid,
Thiacloprid, Epoxiconazole, Metconazole, Prochloraz, Deltamethrin, and T-fluvalinate)
in honey and mead samples by reversed-phase liquid chromatography with
spectrophotometric detection after QuEChERS extraction. The final separation was
performed on YMC triart C18 column with mobile phase consisting of water and
acetonitrile. The identification of selected pesticides in samples of honey and mead was
performed on the basis of retention times conformity with the standards and
quantification using the calibration curve method.
