The first half of the thesis studied the development and optimization of pesticides extraction from palm oil samples. Sample preparations were divided into two parts. The first part was the extraction step based on low-temperature extraction technique. Factors such as acetonitrile volume, decanting the liquid phase from the precipitated oil after low-temperature precipitation, and the freezing time were studied and optimized. In the second part, two different clean-up methodologies were tested for co-extractives elimination: (i) solid-phase extraction (SPE); and (ii) dispersive solid-phase extraction (d-SPE). In both techniques, different sorbents were studied and optimized. Finally, the optimized conditions were obtained using acetonitrile extraction followed by low-temperature precipitation. Then, oil extracts were cleaned-up using combined SPE employing graphitized carbon black (GCB) and primary secondary amine (PSA) as the optimized sorbents. The second half of the thesis studied the development and optimization of pesticides extraction from soil samples. Ultrasonic extraction (USE) was chosen as the extraction technique for both cypermethrin and λ-cyhalothrin. Extraction parameters such as extraction solvent (acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, and acetone), solvent volume (15, 20, and 25 mL), and duration of sonication (5, 10, 15, and 20 min) were comprehensively investigated and optimized. The optimized conditions were obtained using 15 mL of acetonitrile as the extraction solvent and 5 min as the duration of sonication. Both developed methods gave good linearity, detection limits, precision and sensitivity for cypermethrin and λ-cyhalothrin. Good regression coefficients (>0.99) were obtained in all cases in the linearity study. The detection limits were 0.025 and 0.05 μg/g for λ-cyhalothrin and cypermethrin respectively for palm oil matrices. On the other hand, for soil samples, the detection limits were 0.0025 and 0.01 μg/g for λ-cyhalothrin and cypermethrin respectively. Furthermore, the optimized method also gave acceptable recoveries (> 80%) and good precision in terms of RSDs (< 7%). Finally, the newly proposed sample preparation techniques for cypermethrin and λ-cyhalothrin were applied to crude palm oil samples obtained from refineries and real soil samples obtained from oil palm plantation. The results suggested that both field samples were free from contamination of pesticides of interest. 2012 Thesis NonPeerReviewed application/pdf http://studentsrepo.um.edu.my/3891/1/1._Title_page%2C_abstract%2C_content.pdf application/pdf http://studentsrepo.um.edu.my/3891/2/CHAPTER_1_GENERAL_INTRODUCTION.pdf application/pdf http://studentsrepo.um.edu.my/3891/3/CHAPTER_2_METHOD_DEVELOPMENT.pdf application/pdf http://studentsrepo.um.edu.my/3891/4/CHAPTER_3_METHOD_DEVELOPMENT.pdf application/pdf http://studentsrepo.um.edu.my/3891/5/CHAPTER_4_GENERAL_CONCLUSION.pdf application/pdf http://studentsrepo.um.edu.my/3891/6/references.pdf http://pendeta.um.edu.my/client/default/search/results?qu=Method+development+and+analysis+of+cypermethrin+and+%CE%BB-cyhalothrin&te= Badrul Hisyam, Zainuddin (2012) Method development and analysis of cypermethrin and λ-cyhalothrin in palm oil matrices and soil samples by gas chromatography / Badrul Hisyam Zainuddin.
