Advances in the Study of Fungicides in Bamboo and Wood Products for Food Contact

Abstract

Bamboo and wood products for food contact are widely used in our family and working life, such as disposable chopsticks and chopping boards. Due to the special texture of bamboo and wood, some fungicides could be used to ensure their effects of application and to extend the storage period. There is a growing concern of whether residual fungicides in treated bamboo and wood products will migrate into foods to be harmful to human body. Furthermore, the methods of detecting residual fungicides are also focused as research hotspots. Based on the domestic and foreign research progress of fungicides in bamboo and wood products, this paper reviews the classification, application, limit standards and detection methods of fungicides in bamboo and wood products, and summarizes the migration rules of fungicide in systems of food simulation, which provid references for the analysis of fungicides. Finally, the problems of existing detection and migration study about fungicides in bamboo and wood products for food contact are summarized, and the research prospects are discussed.
