Key Research Contribution: Analysis of Heavy Metals and Mycotoxins in Agricultural Products for Food Safety and Quality Assurance<\/strong>
In an era where food safety and agricultural product quality are of paramount importance, our research group focuses on the detection and analysis of toxic substances and heavy metals in widely consumed agricultural products that pose health risks, such as sea salt and corn. Our goal is to promote the enhancement of product quality and food safety within Thailand\u2019s agricultural system and the export market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u2022 Heavy Metal Analysis in Sea Salt Using ICP-OES<\/strong>
Our research team employed Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) to detect lead and cadmium in sea salt samples, providing accurate and reliable data. The findings revealed contamination of heavy metals potentially arising from production processes or raw material sources. This critical information supports farmers and producers in improving production methods, preventing health hazards from consumption, and maintaining product quality standards in line with international regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u2022 Mycotoxin Analysis: Fumonisins and Aflatoxins in Corn and Corn-Based Products<\/strong>
Another key focus of our research is the investigation of fungal toxin contamination, specifically fumonisins and aflatoxins, in corn\u2014hazardous substances known to have serious health impacts. The study analyzes both domestically produced and imported corn products, while also examining environmental factors, such as cultivation conditions, that contribute to the growth of toxin-producing fungi. The in-depth data collected serves as a critical knowledge base, enabling farmers and the agricultural industry to develop effective prevention and control strategies, thereby ensuring consumer safety and enhancing competitiveness in the global market.The significant impact of this research lies in raising awareness and elevating food safety and agricultural product standards in Thailand. Additionally, it supports the development of farmers\u2019 capabilities to control the quality of their products according to international standards, thereby effectively reducing health risks associated with toxic substances and heavy metals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
