Sesame ELISA Kit SENSISpec 48 Wells – Allergen Testing

The SENSISpec Sesame ELISA kit represents a highly sensitive detection system for sesame residues and is particularly well-suited for quantification in flour products, soups, sausages, sauces, and ice cream. Sesame seeds contain a protein fraction of approximately 16-32%, with several of these proteins possessing allergenic properties, including albumins Ses i 1 and Ses i 2, and globulin Ses i 3. Due to widespread culinary applications of sesame, it is used in numerous food preparations. For individuals with sesame allergy, hidden sesame allergens in food products represent a critical concern. Even minute quantities of sesame can trigger allergic reactions that, in severe cases, may lead to anaphylactic shock. Therefore, individuals with sesame allergy must strictly avoid consumption of sesame-containing foods. Cross-contamination, typically a consequence of production processes, presents an additional risk requiring careful control and monitoring.
