Application of LC-MS in the Detection of Heavy Metal Pollutants in Food Processing
The problem of heavy metal pollution during food processing poses a serious threat to food safety and public health.Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry technology is widely used in the detection of heavy metals in food due to its high sensitivity,selectivity,and ability to simultaneously detect multiple elements.The main sources of heavy metal pollution include raw material pollution,pollution during processing,packaging materials,and pollution during storage.The practical application of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry technology in the detection of aquatic products,vegetables,fruits,grains,and legumes has demonstrated its efficient and accurate detection ability.By optimizing detection methods and reducing costs,this technology will play an increasingly important role in food safety monitoring,thereby providing technical support for ensuring consumer health.
