Food safety is a significant issue that affects people worldwide and is tied to their lives and health. The issue of pesticide residues in food is just one of many issues related to food safety, which leave residues in crops and are transferred through the food chain to human consumption. Foods contaminated with pesticide residues pose a serious risk to human health, including carcinogenicity, neurotoxicity, and endocrine disruption. Although traditional methods, including gas chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography, chromatography, and mass spectrometry, can be used to achieve a quantitative analysis of pesticide residues, the disadvantages of these techniques, such as being time-consuming and costly and requiring specialist staff, limit their application. Therefore, there is a need to develop rapid, effective, and sensitive equipment for the quantitative analysis of pesticide residues in food. Microfluidics is rapidly emerging in a number of fields due to its outstanding strengths. This paper summarizes the application of microfluidic techniques to pyrethroid, carbamate, organochlorine, and organophosphate pesticides, as well as to commercial products. Meanwhile, the study also outlines the development of microfluidics in combination with 3D printing technology and nanomaterials for detecting pesticide residues in food.
食品安全是一个影响全球人民的重大问题，与他们的生命和健康息息相关。食品中的农药残留问题只是众多与食品安全相关的问题之一，这些农药残留在农作物中，并通过食物链转移到人类食用的食物中。被农药残留污染的食品对人类健康构成严重风险，包括致癌性、神经毒性和内分泌干扰。虽然传统方法，如气相色谱法、高效液相色谱法、色谱法和质谱法，可用于实现对农药残留的定量分析，但这些技术的缺点，如耗时、成本高且需要专业人员，限制了它们的应用。因此，需要开发用于食品中农药残留定量分析的快速、有效和灵敏的设备。微流控技术因其突出的优势正在多个领域迅速兴起。本文总结了微流控技术在拟除虫菊酯、氨基甲酸酯、有机氯和有机磷农药以及商业产品中的应用。同时，该研究还概述了微流控技术与3D打印技术和纳米材料相结合用于检测食品中农药残留的发展情况。
