Abstract

Effective control of food quality and safety requires analytical methods that guarantee the reliable determination of any substance potentially harmful to the consumer that may be present in the food prior to its distribution and marketing. One of the analytical approaches that contributes to guarantee this objective encompasses a series of techniques that have in common the use of antibodies as essential elements for the detection of the target analyte, and which together are called immunochemical methods. This article aims to provide a basic overview of the biochemical principles underlying these technologies and their advantages and limitations in the determination of chemical contaminants, residues and additives in food matrices. The last part discusses some of our initiatives in this field that have resulted in commercially available rapid kits after transferring the corresponding technology to the industrial sector.
