Pesticide Immunoassay in Food

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Food Immunoassay

Abstract

This chapter introduces the overview of pesticides containing the application, characteristics, mode of action, classification, hazard, and the maximum residue levels. Then, the synthetic procedures of pesticide haptens were depicted at length. The antibodies acquired by the forementioned hapten were the most sensitivity to date. Synthesis formats of antigen with various active groups were summarized. The cross-reactivities of antibody were analyzed via the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to provide the basis for hapten design. Additionally, authors also presented the pretreatment methods of different samples. Then, the colloidal gold-based immunochromatographic test strips for the determination of pesticides were described including the detection ranges and cutoff values. Finally, the perspective of immunoassays for pesticide analysis was discussed containing three parts: the introduction of computer-assisted molecular modeling, the development of the genetic engineering antibodies, and the application of nanomaterials in pesticide immunoassays.
