Abstract: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 pe… Show more
“…Consequently, they were applied in multiplex PCR analysis. The detected allergen-specific PCR fragments can be considered as novel DNA markers as they are distinguished from the allergen DNA markers described previously for soybean and GMO [ 9 , 19 , 20 , 21 ]. These DNA markers are 86 bp and 98 bp amplicons for Gly m Bd 28K; 129 bp, 118 bp, and 122 bp amplicons for Gly m Bd 30K; 135 bp amplicon for lectin as well as 114 bp and 172 bp amplicons for epsps gene.…”

“…The main advantage of the PCR technique is its specificity, reliability, and rapidity allowing the detection of trace amounts of allergens in processed products. The end-point and real-time PCR methods have been reported for the detection of soybean allergens, namely Gly m Bd 28K [ 19 ], Gly m Bd 30K [ 20 ], lectin [ 21 ]. The comparison of ELISA and PCR methods using soya food products showed that the sandwich ELISA had the lowest detection limit of 0.05 ppm, but only identified soy in five out of the eight products.…”
Allergenicity assessment of transgenic plants and foods is important for food safety, labeling regulations, and health protection. The aim of this study was to develop an effective multi-allergen diagnostic approach for transgenic soybean assessment. For this purpose, multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) coupled with DNA chip technology was employed. The study was focused on the herbicide-resistant Roundup Ready soya (RRS) using a set of certified reference materials consisting of 0, 0.1%, 0.5%, and 10% RRS. Technically, the procedure included design of PCR primers and probes; genomic DNA extraction; development of uniplex and multiplex PCR systems; DNA analysis by agarose gel electrophoresis; microarray development, hybridization, and scanning. The use of the asymmetric multiplex PCR method is shown to be very efficient for DNA hybridization with biochip probes. We demonstrate that newly developed fourplex PCR methods coupled with DNA-biochips enable simultaneous identification of three major endogenous allergens, namely, Gly m Bd 28K, Gly m Bd 30K, and lectin, as well as exogenous 5-enolppyruvyl shikimate-phosphate synthase (epsps) expressed in herbicide-resistant roundup ready GMOs. The approach developed in this study can be used for accurate, cheap, and fast testing of food allergens.

“…Genetic markers for identifying Gly m Bd 28 K free cultivars have not been applied so far. However, both cDNA sequence of the allergen gene (TSUJI et al, 2001) as well as a PCR primer for allergen detection (WANG et al, 2012) have been published which could support the development of an efficient marker system for selection purposes.…”
Soybean is a major protein and oilseed crop for food and livestock feed
production, which is increasingly utilized in the food industry due to its
favorable protein content and a superior overall seed composition with a
high nutritional value. However, some of the soybean seed components have
the potential to reduce the value of soy-food products as they are posing
different food safety risks. Therefore, the objective of the present review
was to evaluate options of soybean genetic improvement for the development
of food-grade soybeans with a focus on food safety traits. To date, useful
genetic variation in soybean germplasm collections and breeding materials
has been described for protein components such as allergens or
anti-nutritional factors, for fatty acid composition relevant to food
safety, and for toxic heavy metal accumulation. Due to the progress in
genomic research, genetic markers are available for assisting the
introgression of major food safety traits into breeding populations, and the
genetic mechanisms behind particular food safety traits have been clarified.
Moreover, analytical methods from the fields of proteomics or ionomics are
helpful for validating selection response and for monitoring quality
features across genotypes. As consumer demand for food safety is steadily
increasing, plant breeding approaches are gaining in importance as they can
provide high-quality soybean raw materials to the food industry. For
implementing better food safety on the consumer level, however, it appears
that coordinated action between plant breeding and genetic research, food
processing and marketing of products needs to be developed.
