Application of Food Safety Testing Technology in Pesticide Residue Detection of Agricultural Products

The Center for Disease Control estimates 128,000 people in the U.S. are hospitalized annually due to food borne illnesses. This has created a demand for food safety testing targeting the detection of pathogenic mold and bacteria on agricultural products. This risk extends to medicalCannabisand is of particular concern with inhaled, vaporized and even concentratedCannabisproducts.As a result, third party microbial testing has become a regulatory requirement in the medical and recreationalCannabismarkets, yet knowledge of theCannabismicrobiome is limited. Here we describe the first next generation sequencing survey of the fungal communities found in dispensary basedCannabisflowers by ITS2 sequencing, and demonstrate the sensitive detection of several toxigenicPenicilliumandAspergillusspecies, includingP. citrinum and P. paxilli,that were not detected by one or more culture-based methods currently in use for safety testing.

Quality Of Food

Food not only provides nutrition to people, maintains vitality, but also it is related to people’s health. In view of the fact that current food safety issues are still common, it is very important to do a good job in food safety testing. Biotech crop food is a product that can be directly consumed. In order to improve people’s trust in such products, scientific biotechnology testing methods can improve the efficiency and quality of food testing and ensure people eat food safely. This paper will analyze the basic types of food testing technology, and then introduce the application of several key detection technologies in biotech crop food testing, and discuss the shortcomings in current food testing, and do a brief overview of future development on the biotech crop food testing technology.

With the improvement of life quality, the people attach more importance to health, and have higher requirements on residue detection of harmful substance in foods. The existing traditional detection methods not only have complicated procedures, but also are very expensive, so it is urgent to develop an intelligent rapid residue detector of harmful substances. The paper researches the portability design of intelligent pesticide residue detector. It applies embedded system design method which implements control and processing functions of detector on a Xilinx-FPGA chip, which not only reduces system volume, but also reduces power consumption and cost. So it has great significance to develop rapid food safety testing instrument.

Residue Levels

One type of pesticide that is widely used is a group of organophosphates with chlorpyrifos as the active ingredients, because it has more favorable characteristics such as easy to decompose and short persistence time. However, the use of pesticides in addition to leaving residues that can cause environmental pollution, also cause disruption to human health and inhibit trade. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the use of pesticides through the fulfillment of the maximum residual limit (MRL) so as to ensure food safety by limiting pesticide residue levels on agricultural products. The purpose of this study was to determine the residual levels of chlorpyrifos in cabbage vegetables with previously optimized and validated HPLC methods. The sample of this research is vegetable cabbage taken from several traditional markets in North Sulawesi. Based on the results of the study, it was found that chlorpyrifos were detected in all samples analyzed, although the levels were still below the specified MRL value. The results of this study can be a consideration for consumers and relevant agencies in North Sulawesi to more frequently monitor and evaluate the existence and use of these compounds.

Detection Technology

For the domestic food safety problem that caused by the pesticide residues in food, it’s very important to find a convenient and cost-appropriate detection technology. At present, spectroscopy absorption technology has been used for detection of pesticide residues in food. However, there are some deficiencies such as the quantitative detection and the measurement precision. This experiment that based on differential absorption is completed by using miniature fiber optic spectrometer and spectrophotometer, and then the pesticide DDVP is also measured quantitatively. Thus the pesticide residue detection technology that based on spectroscopy absorption is improved to adjust to the practical application.

Spatiotemporal Visualization

Food safety issues caused by pesticide residue have exerted far-reaching impacts on human daily life, yet the available detection methods normally focus on surface residue rather than pesticide penetration to the internal area of foods. Herein, we demonstrated gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-immersed paper imprinting mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) for monitoring pesticide migration behaviors in various fruits and vegetables (i.e., apple, cucumber, pepper, plum, carrot, and strawberry). By manually stamping food tissues onto AuNP-immersed paper, this method affords the spatiotemporal visualization of insecticides and fungicides within fruits and vegetables, avoiding tedious and time-consuming sample preparation. Using the established MSI platform, we can track the migration of insecticides and fungicides into the inner region of foods. The results revealed that both the octanol-water partition coefficient of pesticides and water content of garden stuffs could influence the discrepancy in the migration speed of pesticides into food kernels. Taken together, this nanopaper imprinting MSI is poised to be a powerful tool because of its simplicity, rapidity, and easy operation, offering the potential to facilitate further applications in food analysis. Moreover, new perspectives are given to provide guidelines for the rational design of novel pesticide candidates, reducing the risk of food safety issues caused by pesticide residue.
