ELISA Systems™ Hazelnut Residue Detection kit for Food Allergen Testing

The Hazelnut (Corylus avellana) belongs to a group of foods, commonly referred to as “tree nuts”. This group of foods is a significant source of allergens and hazelnuts are a common cause of food allergy. Allergic reactions to hazelnuts range from oral allergy syndrome to severe anaphylactic reactions.¹

Use ELISA Systems Hazelnut Detection Kit for the rapid detection and quantification of hazelnut material in food and environmental samples.

• Fast: Sample preparation to result in under 60 minutes for rapid test turnaround and actions
• Simple: Ready-to-use liquid reagents and concentrates, plus common handling procedure for all kits, make ELISA Systems Assays easy to implement and run
• Robust: Ready-to-use liquid controls and allergen-free non-control reagents mean reduced risk of cross contamination that could lead to false-positive results
• Flexible: Use for qualitative or quantitative testing—a single kit for more applications
• Sensitive: Detect proteins or protein residues, including heat stable proteins, at low levels for improved assurance of product safety
• Supported: Our experienced technical team is ready to assist you and help mitigate delays in test reporting

A sensitive and reliable test for the detection of hazelnut in foods must be able to detect a heat stable protein component; otherwise, false negative results could occur with samples that have been highly heat-treated.

A specific heat-stable hazelnut protein was identified and is used as the hazelnut protein indicator for the ELISA Systems Hazelnut Residue Detection kit. Results are expressed as ppm (mg/kg) hazelnut protein.

All results should be interpreted as part of a HACCP plan for food allergens. Any sample returning a positive result should be regarded as a presumptive result, and confirmation or further testing should be performed.
