Abstract:

With the continuous development of economy and society, people pay more and more attention to the safety of daily diet, especially the safety problem of veterinary drug residues in animal-derived foods. Veterinary drugs play an important role in the high-quality development of animal husbandry and fishery. Rational use of veterinary drugs can prevent or treat diseases of cultured animals, promote animal production, improve feed utilization, improve economic benefits, etc. However, irrational use of veterinary drugs is likely to cause the accumulation of veterinary drugs in animal-derived foods and be absorbed by the human body in the process of food chain transmission. It poses a serious threat to people’s food safety. This paper mainly reviewed the research related to the analysis of veterinary drug residues in animal-derived foods, sample pretreatment methods such as liquid-liquid extraction, solid phase extraction, novel micro-extraction, QuEChERs, accelerated solvent extraction, supercritical fluid extraction, and microwave-assisted extraction, and detection techniques including liquid chromatography, chromatography-mass spectrometry, immunology, biosensor, spectroscopy and molecular biology. This study will be a good reference for future studies related to veterinary drug residue in animal-derived foods.

Key words: animal-derived food, veterinary drug residue, pre-treatment method, detection technique
