ABSTRACT

The problems of chemical contamination, microbial contamination and adulteration in food have attracted widespread attention around the world. Heavy metal contamination in chemical contamination poses a huge threat to food safety. Traditional heavy metal detection technology is time-consuming and cannot meet current needs. Fast, convenient and accurate analysis and detection technology has become the future development trend. The article summarizes the current research and development of rapid detection technology for heavy metals in food, briefly points out the problems existing in the research process, focuses on demonstrating the importance of new materials in promoting the development of rapid detection technology, and looks forward to its future research directions.
