摘要
Food related allergic reactions following inadvertent ingestion are increasingly common. with nuts, including Brazil nut, placed firmly in the top 10 food groups whose presence within a product should be declared. The presence of hidden allergens as a result Of adulteration or contamination of ingredients presents a problem for both the food industry and the consumer. A sensitive and specific immunoassay for Brazil nut is described with a limit of detection of 1 ppm. Based upon the detection of the abundant 2S protein the assay is suitable for detection of raw and roasted Brazil nut ill a range of food matrices. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
