Title: Recent advances in cleanup of fats by sweep co-distillation. Part 2. Organophosphorus residues Luke BG, Richards JC Ref: J Assoc Off Analytical Chemistry, 67:902, 1984 : PubMed
This paper describes the isolation of 5 organophosphorus residues in beef fat by a commercial sweep co-distillation unit (Unitrex). The operating conditions specified 223 degrees C and nitrogen flow at 230 mL/min. Recoveries of chlorpyriphos, monodechlorchlorpyriphos, bromophos-ethyl, debromobromophos-ethyl, and ethion ranged from 84 to 99%, with coefficients of variation between 3 and 5%.
