title: Potential and advantages of immunochemical methods for analysis of foods.
abstract: The technique of immunochemical analysis, including the principles involved, is described and the various types of assay are discussed. Application of these methods to the analysis of foods for residues of pesticides, contaminants, drug residues, and natural constituents is reviewed. Compared with conventional methods, immunoassays offer similar detection limits and greatly simplified sample preparation procedures.
