A method was established for the separation and determination of triadimefon and its metabolite triadimenol enantiomer residues in major complementary fruit puree for infants and young children (banana puree, pineapple puree and grape puree) by supercritical fluid chromatography. After the samples were extracted with acetonitrile and purified with solid phase extraction cartridge, Acquity Trefoil CEL2 chiral chromatographic column was adopted for separation, and gradient elution was conducted at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min under the mobile phase of supercritical carbon dioxide - 0.5% ammonia methanol; the detection wavelength was 220 nm and quantification was conducted with the external standard method. The limits of quantitation of triadimefon and triadimenol enantiomers were both 0.05 mg/kg, the linear ranges were 0.5-50 mg/L, and the linear correlation coefficients were greater than 0.9993. The recoveries in the spiked samples at 0.05, 0.2 and 3.0 mg/kg were from 80.1 to 106%, and the relative standard deviation reached 3.3-7.6%. The method is efficient, rapid, reproducible, and environmentally friendly, enabling accurate analysis of pesticide enantiomers, which can detect the enantiomer residues of triadimefon and its metabolite triadimenol in major complementary fruit puree for infants and young children.
