In-house instrumental modifications were made to enhance the sensitivity of a Varian GC-MS 1200 to meet the proper Limit of Detection for the analysis of DMDS, a fumigant, used for different fruits. The developed method has been validated based on the EPA Guidelines which consists of specificity, linearity, accuracy (% recovery), precision (% RSD), limit of quantification (LOQ) and limit of detection (LOD). Under the developed optimized conditions, all the method validation parameters were within the specified limits.
