“Rising Demand for Rapid Detection Methods”
A key trend driving the growth of the food mycotoxin testing market is the increasing demand for rapid detection methods. Traditional testing methods can be time-consuming, but with the advancement in technologies such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and PCR-based methods, results can now be obtained within hours. For instance, ELISA kits are being widely adopted by food manufacturers and regulatory bodies due to their speed and accuracy in detecting mycotoxins such as aflatoxins and ochratoxins in grains, nuts, and cereals. The faster turnaround time allows for quicker decisions, reducing the risks associated with contaminated food, thus promoting market growth.
