As an important source of food ingredients, it is necessary for soybean detection in foods because it was reported as one of the “big 8” food allergens. In this report, a PCR-based method was developed enabling the detection of even small traces of potentially allergenic soybean traces in food products. Soybean-specific primer was designed based on Gly m Bd 28K, one of the major allergens in soybean. The assay was applied to a wide range of food matrices and the detection limit was 0.01% (100ppm) for spiked peanut and whole milk samples, while it was 0.001% (10ppm) for skim milk, wheat and mung bean samples. It seems enough for soybean allergen detection in food matrices according to the threshold of soybean.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
