Uncovering Analytical Patterns for Hazardous Components in Agricultural Production Systems

Area of Science:

• Agricultural Science
• Food Science
• Analytical Chemistry

Background:

• Global food safety is a major concern, necessitating detection of hazardous agents in agricultural production.
• Common hazards include pesticide residues, heavy metals, mycotoxins, microbial contaminants, antibiotic residues, and GMOs.

Purpose of the Study:

• To analyze progress in conventional detection methodologies and identify future trends.
• To provide technical guidance for detecting hazardous components and inform food safety regulations.

Main Methods:

• Systematic literature review of hazardous agents in agricultural commodities.
• Analysis of conventional and emerging detection methodologies.
• Examination of current challenges and future trajectories in analytical approaches.

Main Results:

• Identified common hazardous agents and their associated health risks in agricultural products.
• Evaluated the research progress in conventional detection techniques.
• Highlighted the need for integrated technologies and standardized global frameworks for detection.

Conclusions:

• Accurate detection of agricultural hazards is crucial for global food safety.
• Advancements in detection methodologies, including rapid field-deployable devices, are essential.
• Development of global standardized frameworks will strengthen food safety regulatory systems.
