Abstract
Basic considerations dealing with the biological significance of drug residues in food products of animal origin and safety evaluation were studied. Analytical characteristics clearly distinguished between soluble residues, which depleted relatively fast, and bound material, which was slowly eliminated from edible tissues of target animals. These 2 residual fractions did not have the same bioavailability. Toxicity assessment of bound residues was considered.
