ABSTRACT
The detection of hormone residues and steroids in food animals, particularly chicken, has
grown into a global concern for food security. The current review's objective was to thoroughly
examine the analytical methods that are already in use, including extraction procedures and
threshold concentrations. To highlight general patterns and method variability, a description
about multi-residue analytical methods is presented. Steroid hormones can be identified using
these approaches, which also involve the extraction of samples with purification,
chromatography separation, as well as several detection methods. In order to evaluate the
existence of steroids and along with hormone residues, a plurality of monitoring and detection
practices have recently been transformed, such as chromatographic techniques, PCR, ELISA,
biosensors, and assays. The potential of innovative analytical techniques is also covered. This
review finishes with a summary of current developments and also future directions for the
advancement of steroid analysis methodologies.
