Fruit and vegetable pesticide residues: a guide to full-chain solutions

With the improvement of people's living standards, the need for "healthy eating" is increasingly urgent, and the safety of fruits and vegetables as an important part of daily diet has attracted much attention. Among them, pesticide residues, as a key factor affecting the safety of fruits and vegetables, have always been the focus of attention of consumers and regulatory authorities. In recent years, although the agricultural sector continues to promote scientific medication, there are still problems such as irregular pesticide use and excessive residues in some areas, which not only affect the taste and quality of fruits and vegetables, but also may pose potential threats to human health. Therefore, building a full-chain solution covering from planting to consumption has become an important issue to ensure the safety of fruits and vegetables.

In this full-chain solution, source prevention is the key. In the planting process, green prevention and control technologies should be promoted, such as biological control (using natural enemy insects, microbial pesticides), physical control (insect net, insect trap lamp), etc., to reduce the dependence on chemical pesticides. At the same time, guide farmers to strictly abide by the pesticide safety interval, avoid excessive and excessive use of pesticides, and reduce the risk of residues from the source.

process detection needs to be real-time and efficient. From harvesting, transportation to sales, effective residue detection is required in every link. Although traditional detection methods are accurate but time-consuming, it is difficult to meet the needs of rapid screening. At this time, rapid detection technology has become an important tool, such as colloidal gold immunochromatography, enzyme inhibition method, etc., which can issue test results in a short time, providing a basis for market supervision and consumer choice.

follow-up treatment can not be ignored. Even after strict testing, some fruits and vegetables may still have trace residues, and consumers can reduce residues through scientific cleaning (such as running water rinsing, peeling, blanching, etc.). For processing enterprises, advanced processing technologies (such as ozone disinfection, low temperature sterilization, etc.) can be used to further reduce the risk of residues and ensure the safety of the final product.

In this full-chain solution, professional detection technology and products are important support. Wuhan Yupinyan Bio has been deeply involved in the field of food safety testing for many years, and is committed to providing customers with integrated solutions from sample pretreatment to detection and analysis. Whether it is rapid test strips, supporting test reagents, or intelligent testing equipment, they are characterized by high sensitivity, high accuracy and convenience to help all links to efficiently carry out pesticide residue detection work and contribute to the protection of fruit and vegetable safety.
