Hi everybody,
I'm wondering for the benomyl extraction where hexane is added to the acidiified sample extract in a sep. funnel, what is its purpose? In meat, it would be to remove lipids...but testing benomyl in Fruits and Veggies, what would adding hexane do? Also, after all the ethyl acetate washes, the ethyl acetate gets evaporated and acetonitrile is used to reconstitute the compound.
what does acetonitrile do to carbendazim, the break-down compound of benomyl?
any help is appreciated!!
