A method to determine imazalil (allyl 1 ‐(2, 4‐dichlorophenyl)‐2‐imidazol‐ 1‐ylethyl ether) on apples using high performance liquid chromatography is described. After harvest, fruits were immersed in an aqueous suspension (1 g litre‐1) and cold stored (0‐2°C) at 85‐90% r.h. Samples were taken monthly and imazalil was determined in the peel, outer pulp, inner pulp and on whole fruit. Residues were 3.8‐4.9 mg imazalil kg‐1 and decreased during storage. Most imazalil was found on the peel and amounts in the pulp decreased toward the core.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
