Abstract
Pentane was substituted for carbon tetrachloride as the extraction solvent in the analysis of malathion in various stored products. The percentage recovery of malathion from peanuts and peanut products almost doubled, and in other commodities the increased average percentage of recovery ranged from 6.5 to 16.5 percent. The minimum average percentage of recovery was 89 percent.
