Allergen Detection Kits
Food allergies are a growing public health concern. These trigger severe adverse allergic reactions ranging from mild to severe and may pose serious risks to particularly children and adults with allergies (2). Allergen detection refers to the process of identifying and measuring the presence of allergenic substances in food or other samples. The most common food allergens include gluten, peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, soy, Seafood, etc.
Accurate detection of allergens is essential for ensuring food safety and quality control before distribution and packaging. Food industries must have reliable and sensitive methods to detect and quantify allergens in food products as this allows proper labeling, ensures that consumers with food allergies can make informed choices, and avoids potential health risks (3). Additionally, allergen detection helps in monitoring cross-contamination during food processing, ensuring food safety and compliance with regulations (1).
The major applications of allergen detection lie in various categories of Food production and processing, Food services and retail, Quality control and research. Assure non-contaminated products are in compliance with the regulations for labeling allergens:
-
Clause no. 2.4.6 under sub-section 2 (a) of Food Safety Standards rules-2011 of FSSAI (Food Safety Standards Authority of India)
-
EU 1169/2011
-
US FDA – FALCPA (Food allergen labeling and consumer protection act, 2004)
Peanut Allergen Detection kit
Peanut allergies can trigger severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, which can be life-threatening for allergic individuals even with trace amounts. Identifying peanut allergens is vital for maintaining food safety, legal compliance, and the welfare of consumers.

Soya Detection kit
Soya is a legume similar to beans, lentils, peas, and peanuts, and it is a versatile component found in many different processed foods. Conversely, the soya allergen interprets proteins as potentially hazardous invaders and attempts to repel them off, resulting in an allergic reaction that can trigger the body's immune system in susceptible individuals.
