Quantitative methods for food allergens: a review

Abstract: The quantitative detection of allergens in the food chain is a strategic health objective as the prevalence of allergy continues to rise. Food allergenicity is caused by proteins either in their native form or in forms resulting from food processing. Progress in mass spectrometry greatly opened up the field of proteomics. These advances are now available for the detection and the quantification of traces of allergenic proteins in complex mixtures, and complete the set of biological tests used until now, such a… Show more

“…An attractive alternative to ELISA is the DNA-based methods involving PCR, where cDNA of an allergenic molecule is targeted and amplified by DNApolymerase for further allergen detection and quantitation [2,69,73]. As DNA is stable against thermal treatment, hydrolysis and pH alteration, often occurring during industrial food processing, it is an ideal target for the specific allergen detection with low risk of cross-reactivity phenomena [78].…”

“…The typical method of choice is a direct or indirect format of classical sandwich ELISA using either patient blood serum with specific IgE antibodies or particular allergen-specific IgG antibodies [2,69,[71][72][73]. Primary antibodies for the allergen recognition are Bioanalytical methods for food allergy diagnosis, allergen detection & new allergen discovery Review often specially produced against the allergen extract from the target food product, as it was reported recently for analysis of hazelnut allergens in chocolate [70] and casein detection in white wines [74].…”

“…The high sensitivity, accuracy, and reproducibility of the MS techniques (Picariello et al 2011) allow the detection of trace amounts of proteins and make the identification independent of the protein structure (Kaul et al 2007;Kirsch et al 2009).…”

“…Over 180 protein allergens have been identified so far, the major ones occurring in common foods such as cow's milk, egg, peanut, soyabean, wheat, fish and tree nut (172) . Sensitive consumers have to be protected from undesirable allergic reactions and, therefore, proteomic methods have been developed for accurate allergen identification and quantification (130,172,173) . The classical proteomic strategy to identify food allergens consists of separating food proteins on 2D-PAGE, followed by electro-transfer onto a nitrocellulose membrane and subsequent IgE reactive protein detection by IgE immunoblotting using sera from allergic patients.…”
