A sensitive reproducible monoclonal antibody-based sandwich ELISA has been developed to measure the gliadin content of foods. Using the assay we have confirmed that nominally gluten-free products based on wheat starch contain trace amounts of gliadin. The level of gliadin contamination in these foods is sufficient to cause relapse of coeliac disease in specific patients. We have also examined the cross-reactivity of different cereal proteins in the assay and found good correlation with their known toxicity to patients with coeliac disease.

Food allergies affect millions of individuals worldwide, significantly impacting personal health and the economy. While avoiding allergenic foods remains the primary management strategy, consumers lack reliable means for immediate allergen detection in everyday dining settings. Here, we present iEAT2 (integrated Exogenous Allergen Test 2), an advanced electrochemical sensing system for rapid, on-site food allergen detection.

Gluten-free products must not contain more than 20 mg/kg of gluten to be safe for consumption by celiac disease patients. Almost all analytical methods are calibrated to wheat, wheat gluten or gliadin, and there is no rye-specific reference material available. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of the harvest year on rye gluten composition and to generate distinct rye isolates to serve as calibration standards.

Celiac patients are required to strictly adhere to a gluten-free diet because even trace amounts of gluten can damage their small intestine and leading to serious complications. Despite increased awareness, gluten can still be present in products due to cross-contamination or hidden ingredients, making regular monitoring essential. With the goal of guaranteeing food safety for consuming labeled gluten-free products, a capacitive aptasensor was constructed to target gliadin, the main allergic gluten protein for celiac disease.

The avoidance of allergen intake is crucial for persons affected by peanut allergy; however, the cross-contamination of food is common and leads to unpredictable consequences after the consumption of supposedly "safe" food. The aim of the present study was to eliminate harmful traces of peanut allergens from food using purified clinoptilolite-tuff (PCT)-a specially processed zeolite material. Analyses were performed using a peanut ELISA and a Coomassie blue (Bradford) assay.

Unsaturated fatty acids present in fish oil offer various physiological benefits to the human body. However, their susceptibility to oxidation severely limits their potential applications. The purpose of this study was to develop Pickering emulsions stabilized from a composite of resveratrol-loaded gliadin nanoparticles and oxidized chitin nanocrystals (GR/OC) to protect fish oil from oxidation.
