SENSISpec ELISA Cashew Allergen 48-Well

SENSISpec Cashew ELISA represents a highly sensitive detection system for cashew allergen residues, particularly in cookie, cereal, ice cream, and chocolate matrices. With protein content accounting for approximately 18% of cashew seeds, several allergen proteins including vicilin Ana o 1, legumin Ana o 2, and albumin Ana o 3 are recognized as major allergens. These proteins exhibit heat stability, rendering them resistant to various production processes. Even trace amounts of cashew allergen can trigger allergic reactions potentially resulting in anaphylactic shock. Cross-contamination frequently occurs as a consequence of production processes, necessitating a sensitive detection system for cashew residues in food commodities.
