Abstract
To meet the growing demand for food quality and safety, there is a pressing need for fast and visible techniques to monitor the food crop and product production processing, and to understand the chemical changes that occur during these processes. Herein, the fundamental principles, instruments, and characteristics of three major laser-based imaging techniques (LBITs), namely, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry, are introduced. Additionally, the advances, challenges, and prospects for the application of LBITs in food crops and products are discussed. In recent years, LBITs have played a crucial role in mapping primary metabolites, secondary metabolites, nanoparticles, toxic metals, and mineral elements in food crops, as well as visualizing food adulteration, composition changes, pesticide residue, microbial contamination, and elements in food products. However, LBITs are still facing challenges in achieving accurate and sensitive quantification of compositions due to the complex sample matrix and minimal laser sampling quantity. Thus, further research is required to develop comprehensive data processing strategies and signal enhancement methods. With the continued development of imaging methods and equipment, LBITs have the potential to further explore chemical distribution mechanisms and ensure the safety and quality of food crops and products.

Abstract
Terahertz technology is receiving increasing attention for its use as an efficient non-destructive, non-contact and label-free optical method for qualitative and quantitative detection. The aim of this study was to develop a chemical analysis methodology based on terahertz time-domain spectra that could be used to detect plant growth regulators, such as glyphosine, naphthaleneacetic acid, daminozide and gibberellic acid. The THz fingerprint spectra of these four PGRs were located in the 0.3–1.8 THz, with the peaks of glyphosine at 0.32, 0.49, 0.74, 0.87, 0.96, and 1.49 THz; daminozide at 0.33, 0.39, 0.55, 0.67, and 1.17 THz; gibberellic acid at 0.46, 0.58, 0.92, and 1.38 THz and naphthaleneacetic acid at 0.43, 0.57, 0.73, and 0.90 THz. The results showed that these four plant growth regulators exhibited numerous distinct spectral features in frequency-dependent absorption spectra, which demonstrated the qualitative capacity of terahertz time-domain. The origin of the observed terahertz absorption peaks of these four plant growth regulators was determined through density functional theory calculations and analysis of absorption spectra. Discriminant analysis method was used to evaluate the classification trends of the four plant growth regulators based on their THz absorbance spectra. Generally, this study provides a reference for the rapid detection of plant growth regulators in fruits and vegetables by using terahertz spectroscopy technology. Terahertz technology is receiving increasing attention for its use as an efficient non-destructive, non-contact and label-free optical method for qualitative and quantitative detection.![]()
