method validation, where the remaining were conducted with linear regression as<br />

calculated with Excel.<br />

The residue on treated matrices was calculated as follows:<br />

ppm MCW-2 (mg/kg) =<br />

ng/mL MCW - 2 x Init. Extract vol.<br />

(mL) x 0.001g/ng<br />

Sample Wt. (g)<br />

ppm butene sulfonic acid or thiazole sulfonic acid =<br />

g/mL<br />

acid<br />

x Eluate vol. (mL) x dilution factor x Init. Extract Vol. (mL)<br />

Aliquot vol.<br />

(mL) x Sample Wt. (g)<br />

Percent recovery for each analyte was calculated as follows:<br />

% MCW-2 Recovery =<br />

% BSA or %TSA Recovery =<br />

Validity of the MCW-2, butene sulfonic acid and thiazole sulfonic acid residue analytical<br />

methods was established by acceptable average recovery (70-110%) from fortified<br />

untreated control samples.<br />

An example calculation for the MCW-2 recovery in the tomato method validation (0.01<br />

ppm) is shown below:<br />

MCW-2 ppm =<br />

An example calculation for the butene sulfonic acid recovery in cucumber method<br />

validation is shown below, where a similar calculation was conducted for thiazole<br />

sulfonic acid:
