InviLisa® Sesame ELISA Kit

FAQs

• 1. Which sesame allergens does the kit detect?

  The kit is designed to detect sesame proteinsacross all major commercially relevant sesame types, including Yellow, White, Brown, and Black Sesame. It targets immunoreactive sesame protein epitopes that remain detectable in both native and denatured forms. High affinity antibodies ensure sensitive and specific identification of sesame residues in a broad range of food matrices.

• 2. Does the kit also detect denatured proteins in highly processed foods?

  Yes. Thermal and mechanical processing steps such as roasting, baking, or extrusion can denature proteins, but this ELISA kit is designed to reliably detect both native and denatured sesame proteins. It's AOAC validated performance ensures robust detection even in complex and highly processed food matrices.

• 3. Why is sesame allergen testing important for regulatory compliance?

  Sesame is one of the 14 mandatory allergens listed under EU Regulation 1169/2011, requiring clear labelling and strict control of cross contamination. This AOAC validated ELISA kit supports compliance by providing sensitive and reliable detection of sesame proteins in foods and production environments.
