蔬果的農藥殘留生化快篩法，可落實市場檢測與農業升級
對於亞洲與太平洋區域中的國家而言，為了分享農藥殘留生化快篩法(以下簡稱RBPR)所能帶來的幫助，亞太糧食肥料技術中心(FFTC)與台灣農委會農試所(TARI)合作，擔任起此技術訓練課程的領頭羊。此活動於2010年五月31日至六月5日，在台中霧峰農試所首次開辦。
共有來自八個國家(印度、印尼、寮國、馬來西亞、菲律賓、泰國、台灣、越南)的16位專業人員參加了這次的訓練課程，這些專家都是該國的食安政策負責人、官方研究員、檢測官、實驗室技術工程師，或是相關業務的承辦員，皆肩負著該國的食安把關使命。這次訓練課程包含了密集課程、討論、實驗操作、實作體驗，以及農場觀摩，藉以實地觀察RBPR在蔬果生產與銷售上的應用。
這次訓練課程的主題包含：在太平洋區域與美國的食物品保法規中，農藥快速監測與管控系統的展望；RBPR的毒理學原理、優勢與限制；乙醯膽鹼酯酶檢驗技術中對於農藥殘留的定性與定量分析；殺菌劑的毒性測試；RBPR的管理與執行；台灣的農藥安全研究簡報。
台灣從1985年就開始發展RBPR，以保障當地消費者免於吃到有毒蔬果的角度而言，此快篩方法不啻為除了化學檢測法之外的另一種替代方案。太平洋區域內的大多數開發中國家都很適合使用此技術，因為這些地方都有小規模農友自己就要負擔生產與行銷的特徵。在台灣，已經有200個以上的檢驗站廣為使用此方法，當中包含了農會、各種提供糧食的系統，以及大型的連鎖超市。生化法雖然不像化學方法那麼精確，但是它卻能夠以低成本得到快速的檢測結果，而且在大宗蔬果量的篩檢過程中也很實用，最重要的意義就是能夠及時在田間或是當地市場中攔下有毒蔬果，讓這些蔬果無法對消費者造成傷害。
Rapid Bioassay of Pesticide Residues (RBPR) on fruits and vegetables for market inspection and farm education
To share the benefits of the rapid bioassay of Pesticide Residues (RBPR) technology with countries in the Asian and Pacific (ASPAC) region, FFTC in cooperation with the Taiwan Agricultural Research Institute (TARI), Council of Agriculture (COA) of Taiwan ROC spearheaded the second-year implementation of the training course on "RBPR on Fruits and Vegetables for Market Inspection and Farm Education". The activity was held on May 31 to June 5, 2010 in TARI, Taichung, Taiwan ROC, and was sponsored by COA.
The training course was attended by 16 training participants from eight countries (India, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Taiwan ROC and Vietnam) who are experts on or responsible for food safety policy in their respective countries, such as government researchers and inspection officers, laboratory technicians, and extension workers. The training course consisted of intensive lectures, discussions, laboratory exercises, hands-on experiences and field visits to observe the practical application of RBPR in fruit and vegetable production and marketing.
Among the topics covered during the training course were: prospects of rapid monitoring and control of pesticide residues in the ASPAC region and the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) in the US; toxicological principles, advantages and limitations of RBPR; qualitative and quantitative RBPR analysis of insecticide residues by the AChE test; fungicide toxicity testing using the Bt test; management and implementation of RBPR; and a briefing on agricultural safety research in Taiwan ROC.
RBPR was developed in Taiwan in 1985 as a low-cost alternative to chemical analysis to achieve quick test results for pesticide residues in order to protect local consumers from contaminated fruits and vegetables. It is suitable for most developing countries in the ASPAC region where domestic production and marketing by small-scale farmers is common. RBPR is widely adopted by more than 200 stations in Taiwan ROC involving farmer associations, various food supply systems, and major supermarket chains. While bioassay is not as precise as chemical testing, it is low cost and gives immediate results, and is practical for use in screening large samples so that contaminated produce can be withdrawn from the farm gate or local market before they reach the consumers.
