Abstract:

The safety issue of animal food has received widespread public attention due to increased reports of problematic foods. Once veterinary drugs are overused or abused in the process of animal husbandry, drug residues will bring serious harm to human health. Common residue detection methods have the disadvantages of high cost, slow speed and low efficiency, which usually requires professional personnel to operate, and the traditional physical and chemical methods can't meet the needs of food quality testing. As a result, the research and development of rapid and efficient detection methods for veterinary drug residues is necessary. In recent years, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has been widely used in many fields such as authenticity identification, illegal additives detection, agricultural and veterinary residues, etc, and has a broader development prospect in the field of food testing due to its advantages of fast detection and non-destructive. SERS is different from other detection methods in that it can rapidly identify target analytes through signal amplification and highly sensitive fingerprint spectroscopy for qualitative or semi-quantitative analysis. This paper mainly introduces the research and application of Raman spectroscopy and SERS in the detection of veterinary drug residues in foods of animal origin, focusing on the advantages of SERS, the pre-treatment of food samples, and the related research on the detection of a variety of veterinary drugs by SERS combined with other techniques, and proposing the challenges faced by SERS in practical monitoring.
