Description
PROTEON Soy is an ELISA test for detection and quantification of soya proteins in different food matrix and working surfaces.
Food allergens can trigger an adverse reaction of the immune system whose importance varying form individual to individual. Soyabean is one of the 8 big most allergenic foods. Soybeans and many products thereof require mandatory mention in food labels in the European Union (Annex II of Regulation (EU) 1169/2011). Other countries legislations such as USA, Australia & New Zealand, Canada or Japan also compel soy declaration in label. Soy allergy is of particular importance because soybeans are widely used in food manufacture and represents one of the main sources of hidden allergens. 35% of soybeans are compound by proteins, around 31% by carbohydrates and 20% by fats. Then, soya is one of the main vegetal protein source and many whole soybeans products can be found in the market (soy milk, yoghurt, soy sprout, tofu, miso, etc). Soya is also used as product thereof in flour, protein concentrate, protein isolate or textured soy in products such us baby foods, beads, snacks, meat products and many others. Besides, many oil products; which appear in salad dressing, sauces, chocolates or candies among others, and emerging products (isoflavones, saponins or enzymes) are obtained from soy.
