Description
The macadamia tree genus originates from Australia and is renowned for its delectable fruit, the macadamia nut. Encased within a remarkably tough shell, the seed is commonly utilized in various baked goods, confectioneries, breakfast cereals, and is also enjoyed as a standalone snack. Although macadamia nuts have a relatively lower prevalence of allergies compared to other tree nuts, they can still trigger severe allergic reactions, particularly in children. The presence of hidden traces of macadamia nuts in food presents a significant concern for individuals with allergies. As a result, the food industry is obligated to employ sensitive detection methods for macadamia nuts to safeguard consumers from the potential consequences of cross-contamination.
