The pesticides were extracted with ultrasonic device and 5.0 mL mixture of ethyl acetate and cyclohexane (1:1, v/v). Coextractants from sample matrices which may have interfere to the qualitative and quantitative analysis, such as pigments, were removed using GPC purification. Simultaneous full scan and selective ion monitor (scan/SIM) mode for GC-MS was used for qualitative and quantitative analysis, which pro- vided retention time and characteristic fragments ratio for each pesticide so as to positively identify each analyte. Rela- tive standard deviations (RSDs) were within 7.7% (5.0 - 22.5 μg/kg, n = 3). The recoveries of pesticide standards at the spiked concentration of 5.0 - 22.5 μg/kg were between 87.1% and 110.9%. Limits of detection (LODs) for the analytes were 0.16 - 3.2 μg/kg, which could meet the demand of routine analysis and TCM quality control.展开更多

With the continuous improvement in disease prevention and treatment, the export of TCM and its related products has increased dramatically in China. However, the frequent safety issues of Chinese medicine have become the ‘bottleneck' impeding the modernization of TCM. It was proved that mycotoxins seriously affect TCM safety; the pesticide residues of TCM are a key problem in TCM international trade; adulterants have also been detected, which is related to market circulation. These three factors have greatly affected TCM safety. In this study, fast, highly effective, economically-feasible and accurate detection methods concerning TCM safety issues were reviewed, especially on the authenticity, mycotoxins and pesticide residues of medicinal materials.展开更多

METHODS The contents of BHC, DDT and PCNB in 23 kinds of medicinal medicines were determined according to the method given in the addenda IXQ of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2000). Average values and standard deviations of every pesticide in every medicinal material and 23 kinds of medicinal materials were obtained. This is the first time to use the percentile statistical technology to make statistics and get the limited values (80% value) of pesticide residues which made 80 percent samples qualified. The probable daily intake of pesticide residues from the traditional Chinese medicine by Chinese adult were calculated according to the dosage of 300 g herbal medicine every day. RESULTS Statistical results showed that the contents of total BHC, total DDT and PCNB in most samples were under the prescriptive standard of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2000). Total BHC and total DDT in traditional Chinese medicine with a dosage of 300 g medicinal materials were close to their intake from total food. The sums of total BHC and total DDT from the traditional Chinese medicine and total daily food intake by Chinese adult were much lower than the acceptable daily intake (ADI) values proposed by the FAO/WHO. CONCLUSION The limited standards of pesticide residues in Chinese Pharmacopoeia is reasonable and safe and also suitable for the fact of the traditional Chinese medicine in our country.展开更多
