Food Matrices

In the last years, the European Commission has adopted restrictive directives on food quality and safety in order to protect animal and human health. Veterinary drugs represent an important risk and the need to have sensitive and fast analytical techniques to detect and quantify them has become mandatory. Over the years, the availability of different modes, interfaces, and formats has improved the versatility, sensitivity, and speed of capillary electrophoresis (CE) techniques. Thus, CE represents a powerful tool for the analysis of a large variety of food matrices and food-related molecules with important applications in food quality and safety. This review focuses the attention of CE applications over the last decade on the detection of different classes of drugs (used as additives in animal food or present as contaminants in food products) with a potential risk for animal and human health. In addition, considering that the different sample preparation procedures have strongly contributed to CE sensitivity and versatility, the most advanced sample pre-concentration techniques are discussed here.

The Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) of 1996 initiated the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Conventional Reduced Risk Pesticide Program. Its purpose is to expedite the review and registration process of conventional pesticides that pose less risk to human health and the environment than existing conventional alternatives. Riskier conventional alternatives are those pesticides EPA deems as having neurotoxic, carcinogenic, reproductive, and developmental toxicity, or groundwater contamination effects. It serves as a means to ensure that reduced risk pesticides enter the channels of trade and are available to growers as soon as possible. This 11-page fact sheet was written by F.M. Fishel, and published by the UF Department of Agronomy, April 2013. http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/pi224

Chemical Pesticides

The use of chemical pesticides, although the most effective method for controlling insects, may in the long-term result in pest resistance development as well as it may impact on food quality, the environment and human health. Therefore, the botanical insecticides are interesting alternatives to minimize these undesirable effects, including a secondary metabolite in the Celastraceae family. Thus, a QSPR study was conducted for ß-dihidroagarofuran derivatives with pesticide properties in order to identify features that may improve the potency thereof. The best model obtained from alignment 3 showed values of Q2=0.657, R2=0.757, R2p=0672 and R2m(test)=0.509, indicating good predictive ability and statistical robustness. Moreover, the descriptors presented important pharmacophore groups for the development of new pesticides.
