Research Progress On Detection Technologies For Florfenicol Residues In Animal-Derived Foods, Hu Xiaofei, Ge Mengjun, Wang Yao, Cai Wenjin, Xing Guangxui

Food and Machinery

As a broad-spectrum antibiotic, florfenicol is widely used in livestock, poultry and aquaculture. Due to the unregulated use by some enterprises, a large amount of florfenicol residue exists in animal-derived foods. When florfenicol enters the human body through the food chain, it can cause gastrointestinal discomfort, intoxication, and even aplastic anemia. To minimize the effects of florfenicol residues and derivatives in food on human beings, many countries have set strict limits for maximum florfenicol residues in food. Therefore, this paper summarizes the detection methods for florfenicol established in recent years and gives an outlook on their development trends.

Forest and Society

The global expansion of area-based conservation has been accompanied by an upward trend in its commercialization, but research on this phenomenon remains fragmented and lacks a comprehensive analysis of its development. This study conducts a bibliometric analysis on 275 journal articles published between 1996 and 2024. Analysis identifies four foundational clusters in early scholarship, namely: ecotourism development; complex linkages between tourism and livelihood; neoliberal conservation and power relations; and, payment for ecosystem services (PES). The current research landscape, we identify, reveals a broader set of six policy/ governance-related thematic clusters, as follows: sustainable tourism and meaningful participation; tourism for poverty …
