With the rapid development of modern social economy and the continuous improvement of living standards, our lifestyle has already undergone earth-shaking changes, especially in the food that concerns the health and life safety of the public, people’s pursuit no longer stays at the level of food and clothing. Eating well gradually becomes eating well, eating healthy, and eating at ease.
However, the frequent food safety issues have severely violated the vital interests of the people. Therefore, it is imperative to use the power of science and technology to effectively detect and supervise food safety. Food safety inspection is not only a key quality guarantee for food production, but also an important factor related to the safety of people's lives and the stable development of society and economy. The detection instrument market related to food safety has always been an important battlefield for major domestic and foreign technology companies to compete for.
According to a report by Science and Technology Daily, a company from Israel recently proposed a new fast food inspection technology based on spectroscopy. When a laser beam hits a known substance, the light wave will appear due to the unique vibration of the substance at the atomic level. For a specific reflected wave, if the trace amount of the substance in the sample is very low, the inspector can use surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy to enhance the vibration of the substance, and then obtain the test result.
According to the researchers, if this single-person portable testing device is used in factory and border food inspections, it can not only effectively reduce the production of contaminated food, but also significantly reduce the incidence of diseases caused by food contamination on a global scale. Improve the current severe situation of food safety faced by countries.
The importance of food safety is self-evident, especially for a large country like my country with a population of 1.4 billion, ensuring food safety is an effective means to stabilize people's hearts and promote orderly social and economic development. According to the data released by the Prospective Industry Research Institute, the market size of food safety testing in my country has maintained an average annual growth rate of 20% from 2008 to 2018. It is believed that with the further expansion of the market, the demand for food testing equipment will increase significantly in the future . Facing such a huge market demand, major domestic instrument companies should seize the opportunity to strengthen technological innovation and integration, and occupy more market shares by comprehensively improving the comprehensive performance of various food testing instruments.
Food safety testing items are very complicated, including pathogenic microorganisms, pesticide and veterinary drug residues, heavy metals and other chemical substances that harm the human body. As the people’s attention to food safety continues to increase, China’s food safety testing items are constantly increasing, and related testing standards have become higher. Testing methods will rely more on professional and advanced food testing instruments and equipment, such as micro and micro , Fast, online testing, etc. have become the main development direction of food testing equipment; on the other hand, compared with imported equipment, domestic testing equipment has the characteristics of low price, low maintenance cost and high cost performance, which puts less financial pressure on equipment purchasers. These advantages will also effectively promote the technological improvement of domestically produced instruments.
At this stage, my country's food safety testing market has a large space and development potential. Food testing and analysis is in an era of accelerated development, and testing requirements are constantly changing. For instrument companies, only by closely focusing on food safety testing requirements and with the help of science and technology can they promote the development of food testing instruments in a more rapid, sensitive and accurate direction, and enable the company to move to a better development stage.
