CHROMATOGRAPHIC METHODS OF ANALYSIS OF ANTIBIOTICS IN MILK

The widespread use of antibiotics in dairy cattle management may resul t in the presence of antibiotic residues in milk. While rapid screenin g tests are commonly used to detect the presence of antibiotics in mil k, more accurate chromatographic methods are required by government re gulatory agencies to identify and confirm the identity and quantity of antibiotic present. This paper reviews recent developments in the chr omatographic determination of antibiotic residues in milk. (C) 1998 El sevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
