Background on Food Allergens
Food allergens are adverse health effect arising from a specific immune response that occurs reproducibly on exposure to a given food. Food allergy occurs when the body's immune system reacts to certain proteins in food. The severity of food allergies varies, from mild symptoms involving hives and lip swelling to severe life-threatening symptoms. The prevalence of food allergy continuing to rise, while the diagnosis of food allergens is challenging.
Allergens Test Kits
Food allergens test kits are common tools for detecting allergens in food, as well as important means to ensure food safety. Food allergens test kits can be divided into the following categories:
- Detection of allergens of gluten-containing cereals and their products (such as rye, wheat, barley, etc.).
- Detect allergens of crustaceans and their products, fish eggs and their products.
- Detect allergens of peanuts and their products, beans and their products (soybeans, broad beans, peas, etc.), and milk and their products (such as milk, goat milk, etc.).
- Detection of allergens in nuts and their nut products (such as almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, cashews, etc.).
