Innovative and quick approaches to food chemistry

While traditional culture-based enumeration tests for the detection of microorganisms have become outdated for real-time applications due to their labor-intensive and time-consuming nature, serological techniques such as enzyme immunoassay, flow injection immunoassay, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay are renowned for their speed, high-throughput capacity, and potential for precise quantification of the target. Even in chemical analysis, the creation of quick and easy techniques is beginning to replace laborious, conventional processes. One of these sample preparation pre-treatment assays is based on the QuEChERS method, whose acronym encapsulates its benefits (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe).

A rapid and simple method for detecting a subset of priority H2SO4 halogen pollutants (six polybrominated diphenyl ethers and eight organochlorines) in nine different fish species was validated by Nagoya and Tölgyessy's study. A modified QuEChERS sample preparation procedure was described prior to conducting a gas chromatography-triple quadruple tandem mass spectrometry investigation. Particularly, the used approach showed some advantages in terms of ease of use, speed, high extract clean-up efficiency, and superior sensitivity
