Development of pesticides and their metabolites certified reference materials using mass balance approach: Florylpicoxamid, X12485649, Spiropidion, and Spiropidion-enol

초록/요약

Despite their contribution to increasing agrifood production, concerns about the impacts of pesticides and their metabolites on environmental and human health have been persistently raised. Since the maximum residue levels of pesticides and their metabolites in agrifoods are legally regulated, development of certified reference materials (CRMs) is essential to ensure the reliability of residue analysis results. The aim of this study is to develop CRMs of florylpicoxamid, X12485649 (florylpicoxamid metabolite), spiropidion, and spiropidion-enol (spiropidion metabolite) following the ISO 33405:2024 guideline. Candidate CRMs were prepared in argon glove box by subdividing the target materials in vials and packaging with plastic bags. The characterization for the purity estimation was evaluated using a mass balance method by determination of impurities including organic impurities (HPLC-UV), inorganic impurities (residue on ignition), water (Karl Fischer coulometric titration), and residual solvents (GC-MS). Homogeneity, stability, and uncertainty estimation were assessed according to ISO 33405:2024. Expanded uncertainties were estimated by combining the uncertainties of characterization, homogeneity, and stability. Purities of candidate CRMs were estimated to be 97.737–99.665% (w/w), suggesting that target materials are high in purity and the major components in candidate CRMs. Homogeneity test results using ANOVA showed that all target materials are homogenous within and between the bottles. Short-term and long-term stability test at the stressed, accelerated, and storage conditions showed that all target materials are stable as assessed by linear regression and linear approximation analysis. In conclusion, purity ± expanded uncertainty of developed CRMs were florylpicoxamid (98.67 ± 0.82%), X12485649 (97.74 ± 0.07%), spiropidion (99.66 ± 0.20%), and spiropidion-enol (97.80 ± 0.66%). The established CRMs in this study can be used as references in pesticide residue analysis in foodstuffs of agricultural, dairy, and livestock products. They also contribute to ensuring food safety and promoting human health.
