Determination of formetanate hydrochloride in fruit samples using liquid chromatography-mass selective detection or -tandem mass spectrometry.

A rapid multiresidue method that captures residues of the insecticide formetanate hydrochloride (FHCl) in selected fruits is described. The method was used to provide residue data for dietary exposure determinations of FHCl. Using an acetonitrile extraction with a dispersive cleanup based on AOAC International method 2007.
