This method is suitable for the determination of methyl bromide in a range of food commodities, including wheat, barley, maize, oats, wheat flour, rapeseed, groundnuts, cocoa beans, rice and dried milk. The limits of detection are below 10 pg/kg. The residue is extracted from the whole commodity by soaking in the appropriate solvent for 24 h. The number of samples which can be processed in this time is limited by the throughput of the gas chromatograph.
