  7. [ASAP] Antibiotic Residues in Food: Extraction, Analysis, and Human Health Concerns

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • The abundant use of antibiotics leads to antibiotic residues in frequently consumed foods. Residual antibiotics in food may have adverse effects on humans by directly causing disease via low-dose exposure and indirect harm via antibiotic resistance. However, the current methods for antibiotic extraction and analysis in food have not yet formed a uniform standard, and only a few data exist regarding the residual antibiotic condition in various types of foods.

  8. [ASAP] Determination of the Limit of Detection of Multiple Pesticides Utilizing Gold Nanoparticles and Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Exposure to commonly used pesticides poses significant health risks to humans and wildlife. Hence, accurate and sensitive pesticide residue testing methods are imperative to minimize potential health hazards. In this study, we report a method to detect several pesticide residues at trace levels utilizing colloidal gold nanoparticles and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS).
