Benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) is a hazardous polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon that accumulates in several environmental matrices as a result of incomplete combustion. Its presence, carcinogenic properties, and tendency for bioaccumulation provide significant risks to human health and the environment. The objective of this study is to create an immunoassay for the detection of benzo[a]pyrene utilizing immunoglobulin Y antibodies.

The non-enzymatic conjugation of peptides through the Maillard reaction has gained attention as an effective method to enhance biological functions. This study focuses on two conjugate mixtures: crude soy protein hydrolysate (SPH) conjugated with mannose (SPHM) and crude soy protein hydrolysate conjugated with allulose (SPHA). These two mixtures were products of the Maillard reaction, also known as non-enzymatic glycation.
