Abstract:

Due to the frequent application of chemical or veterinary drugs in animals for different purposes, these drug residues may remain in foods derived from these treated animals. A big health threat to consumers is produced during consuming these foods. In order to ensure food safety, rapid detection techniques for these drug residues in animal-origin foods have been attracted tremendous attentions of scientists. Currently, a large number of rapid detection techniques with high sensitivity, convenient operation and high throughput detection have been developed. In this paper, current progress in rapid detection techniques for chemical and veterinary drug residues in animal-origin foods are reviewed.

Key words: animal-origin foods, chemical and veterinary drug residues, rapid detection technique, food safety
