Objective:
❖ To conceptualize participants about basics of Inductively Coupled Plasma – Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) and
troubleshooting during operation.
❖ To familiarize participants about emerging tools and techniques for food safety in compliance with EU and
Indian regulatory framework for food exports with respect to the heavy metals.
❖ To familiarize the participants about sources, detection, and quantification of heavy metal residues in foods of
animal origin
Pre Event Description :
The meat industry is the largest supplier of animal protein with an excellent and cheapest source of essential
amino acids, vitamins and minerals for human consumption in the form of meat and eggs throughout the world.
Its significance is even greater in developing countries where per capita income is less and meat consumption
could be one of the best possible methods to control the malnutrition. However, animal origin foods may produce
health hazards due to contamination with heavy metals that originate mainly from the feed, water, litter, and the
environment. These heavy metals are hazardous and can be transmitted through the food chain, leading to worse
effect on the health of both animal and human.
Therefore, in order to train the stakeholders about detection of heavy metals in foods of animal origin, a
two-days online training has been proposed on “Detection of heavy metal residues in animal origin foods by
Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). This training will be beneficial to industry
professionals, academicians and laboratory personnel, PG & Ph.D. student etc. The training shall cover the basic
knowledge of ICP-MS, system hardware, setup, operations and precautions during detection of heavy metal
residues in foods of animal origin.
