Abstract:

The screening and confirmation analysis of unknown or non-target compounds in agricultural products are the
current focus of studies on agricultural product quality and safety. This paper reviews the progress made in the development
and application of analytical techniques such as high-resolution accurate molecular mass spectrometry, omics technology and
biomarker-based techniques for the identification of unknown components in agricultural products. Existing problems are
pointed out and future development directions are also proposed. The aim of this paper is to provide a reference for further
analysis, screening, monitoring, and early warning of unknown or non-target compounds in agricultural products to ensure
the quality and safety of agricultural products.

Key words: agricultural products, unknown, non-target compounds, analysis, omics technology
