Abstract

In recent years, developments in mass spectrometry instrumentation have led this technique to become ubiquitous in the vast majority of analytical chemistry laboratories. Specifically laboratories devoted to the analysis of residues in food are major users of this technique. The growing concern for safer animal products have forced authorities from different countries to establish increasingly restrictive regulations that often represent a challenge to the existing analytical methodology. This paper presents some examples showing the advantage of using mass spectrometry to solve some specific problems related to the presence of veterinary drugs in food.

Keywords: coccidiosis; mass espectrometry; food safety;
waste analysis.
