Resíduos e contaminantes
Detecção de resíduos de antibióticos, hormônios e anabolizantes em alimentos
Resíduos e contaminantes: Monitoramento e análise
Importância do monitoramento de resíduos e contaminantes
Quando animais de produção de alimentos são tratados com antibióticos, hormônios ou anabolizantes, resíduos de medicamentos podem permanecer na carne e no leite dos animais, representando riscos à saúde dos consumidores. “Resíduos são os restos de substâncias que são usadas intencionalmente durante a produção de alimentos” (Fonte: BFR). Isso inclui medicamentos veterinários e pesticidas. Para proteger os consumidores, muitos países estabeleceram limites máximos de resíduos (MRLs) e programas de monitoramento.
Soluções analíticas para detecção de resíduos
Nosso portfólio de produtos inclui diversos sistemas de teste para detectar hormônios, anabolizantes, antibióticos e outros resíduos de medicamentos em diferentes matrizes. Estes sistemas incluem:
- Ensaios imunoenzimáticos (ELISAs)
- Testes de inibição microbiana
- Colunas de imunoafinidade
Categorias de resíduos e contaminantes
Antibióticos
Os antibióticos são metabolitos naturalmente ocorrentes derivados de fungos ou bactérias. Eles também podem ser produzidos através de biotecnologia moderna e síntese química. Antibióticos matam microorganismos ou inibem seu crescimento e são usados na medicina humana e veterinária para tratar doenças bacterianas.
Hormônios e anabolizantes
Resíduos de hormônios e esteroides anabolizantes em alimentos como carne e leite representam riscos potenciais à saúde dos consumidores. Hormônios são mensageiros bioquímicos endógenos transportados pelo sangue para órgãos-alvo. Esteroides sintéticos e beta-agonistas são usados na criação de gado para melhorar o ganho médio de peso e a proporção carne/gordura.
Outros medicamentos veterinários
Além de antibióticos e anabolizantes, os animais podem ser tratados com outros medicamentos veterinários, resultando em resíduos nos alimentos. Esses medicamentos incluem:
- Fungicidas: Usados para matar ou inibir fungos.
- Anti-helmínticos: Usados para tratar infecções por vermes parasitas.
- Corticosteroides: Hormônios esteroides sintéticos que suportam várias funções fisiológicas.
- Tranquilizantes: Usados para prevenir doenças de transporte e síndrome de estresse em suínos.
- Coccidiostáticos: Usados para tratar ou prevenir a doença parasitária coccidiose.
Contaminantes químicos
A contaminação química dos alimentos é uma preocupação com a saúde e pode resultar de várias fontes, incluindo migração de materiais de embalagem. Por exemplo, o bisfenol A (BPA), usado na produção de plásticos policarbonatos, pode migrar para alimentos de garrafas ou embalagens plásticas. A legislação da UE definiu um limite específico de migração (SML) para o BPA para abordar esse problema.
Principais benefícios do monitoramento de resíduos e contaminantes
- Proteção ao consumidor: Garante que os produtos alimentícios sejam seguros para consumo, detectando e quantificando resíduos e contaminantes.
- Conformidade regulatória: Ajuda os fabricantes a cumprir os limites máximos de resíduos (MRLs) e outras regulamentações de segurança alimentar, prevenindo repercussões legais e econômicas.
- Garantia de qualidade: Mantém a integridade e segurança dos produtos alimentícios, prevenindo a distribuição de itens contaminados.
- Métodos avançados de detecção: Utiliza plataformas analíticas confiáveis e eficientes para o monitoramento preciso de vários resíduos e contaminantes em produtos alimentícios.
Conclusão
O monitoramento de resíduos e contaminantes é essencial para proteger a saúde do consumidor, garantir conformidade regulatória e manter a qualidade dos produtos alimentícios. Ao empregar métodos avançados de detecção, os fabricantes podem identificar e quantificar com precisão substâncias nocivas, assegurando a segurança de seus produtos. Esta abordagem proativa apoia processos robustos de controle de qualidade, sustenta padrões de segurança alimentar e promove a confiança dos consumidores na produção de alimentos.
