Abstract:

Pesticide residues, as one of the key factors affecting the quality of Chinese herbal medicines, seriously affect the efficacy of medication, human health, and the development of the Chinese herbal medicine industry. The authors briefly summarized the status of pesticide residues in Chinese herbal medicines, including the types of Chinese herbal medicines examined, the types of pesticides frequently detected, and the types of pesticide residues. The authors also sorted out the advantages and disadvantages of the main analytical detection techniques for pesticide residues in Chinese herbal medicines, and the specific applications of chromatography and chromatography-mass spectrometry in the domain of pesticide residues in Chinese herbal medicines. The causes of pesticide residues in Chinese herbal medicines, such as indiscriminate use of pesticides and incomplete registration, different degrees of contamination in the cultivation and processing, and the imperfect residue limit standards of relevant pesticides, were reviewed, and certain suggestions for improvement were given for different causes, such as building green planting bases to guarantee the quality of Chinese herbal medicines from the source, enhancing pesticide registration management norms, developing pesticide residue detection methods with wide applicability, strengthening the knowledge of growers about pesticides, and improving pesticide residue limit standards.

Key words: Chinese herbal medicine, pesticide, residue, detection, status, progress
