A study was undertaken to develop a method for carbofuran and carboxin residues
analysis in cabbages (Brassica oleracea L. cv. white headed cabbage cruciferae) by HPLC equipped
with UV detector. Cabbage samples were extracted with ethyl acetate followed by solid phase
extraction (SPE) with florisil sorbent for cleaning up. The SPE condition was achieved by
employing 3 ml of 70% acetonitrile/water as eluting solvent. The extracts were separated by
reversed phase C18 column of HPLC-UV.
