3M™ Egg White Protein Rapid Kits are a sensitive, ready to use lateral flow device for on-site routine testing for a egg white allergens.
Allergens can be detected at any stage of the production process from ingredient testing through to finished product analysis. The lateral flow device provides hygiene test result within 11 minutes, enabling corrective actions to be implemented quickly when required.
The Hook Test Advantage
The hook effect or prozone effect is well-recognised phenomenon where high levels of antigen/allergen can produce false negative results in immunoassays. This may cause food processors to release product that actually contains dangerous levels of allergens that pose a high risk to allergy sufferers. The 3M Allergen kits have an additional Hook Line detection system in their strips to identify this problem, providing great confidence and security in your allergen reporting.
Egg Allergens
Hen’s egg (Gallus gallus) are used throughout the food industry as an ingredient for many food products and is one of the most common food allergens, particularly infants. Both exposure and ingestion of eggs can cause quite severe allergic reactions including anaphylaxis.
Both egg white and yolk contain proteins known to be allergenic. Examples are ovalbumin, ovotransferrin, lysozyme, ovomucoid (from the egg white) and livetin (from the yolk). Most of the allergens are present in the egg white, while the yolk only has a low allergenic potential. Separation of yolks from the white is not complete so some egg white is present in separated egg yolk. Cross-contamination with egg white during food production cannot always be ruled out, making the detection of egg white proteins and their residues in food products and production lines indispensable.As these proteins are heat stable, the allergenic potency is retained after cooking processes highlighting the importance for correct labelling and the prevention of cross contamination in the food production area.
