Sesame Allergen Testing in Bakery Products
The demand for allergen-free food products has grown significantly over recent years. For the bakery industry, this translates to a critical need for accurate and reliable sesame allergen testing. Sesame is one of the top eight allergens globally, affecting approximately 1% of the population. Ensuring that baked goods are free from trace amounts of sesame can prevent severe allergic reactions in susceptible individuals.
At Eurolab, we specialize in providing precise and reliable sesame allergen testing services tailored to meet the specific needs of the bakery industry. Our approach ensures that your products not only comply with international standards but also exceed customer expectations for safety and quality.
The primary method used for detecting sesame allergens is quantitative PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction). This technique allows us to identify and quantify even trace amounts of sesame in complex food matrices, including bakery products. The process involves extracting DNA from the samples, amplifying specific sequences related to sesame, and then quantifying these amplified fragments.
For accurate testing, it is crucial that samples are prepared correctly before analysis. This includes proper homogenization of the baked goods, followed by extraction procedures designed to recover all allergens present in the sample. Once extracted, the samples undergo PCR amplification using primers targeting the specific sesame DNA sequences.
The accuracy and precision of our testing methods ensure that you receive reliable results every time. Our laboratory adheres strictly to international standards such as ISO 17025 for method validation and performance characteristics. By partnering with Eurolab, you can trust in the quality and reliability of your test results.
