AI Insight
This study developed an environmentally friendly high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) method combined with densitometry to simultaneously detect multiple antibiotic residues in milk samples. The method was evaluated using greenness assessment tools to confirm its reduced environmental impact compared to traditional analytical techniques, and successfully validated through application to real milk samples for practical antibiotic residue monitoring.
Why it matters
This green analytical method provides a more sustainable approach for routine monitoring of antibiotic contamination in dairy products, which is crucial for food safety and public health. The technique could help dairy industries and regulatory agencies conduct cost-effective and environmentally responsible quality control testing while reducing the use of hazardous chemicals.
