Description
Eggs are a versatile and nutrient-rich ingredient, but they can also elicit severe allergic reactions in certain individuals. The primary culprits behind egg allergies are proteins found in the egg white, although some individuals may also react to proteins in the egg yolk. Notably, ovomucoid, ovalbumin, ovotransferrin, lysozyme, and livetin are the key allergenic proteins in eggs. Some of these proteins are heat-stable, meaning they can withstand cooking and baking processes without losing their allergenic properties. To address the issue of cross-contamination with egg residues during food production, it is crucial to closely monitor both the manufacturing environment and the final products for any traces of eggs. The food industry bears the responsibility of employing highly sensitive testing equipment to ensure strict compliance with rigorous food safety standards. This diligent approach is necessary to safeguard consumers and maintain the integrity of food products.
The AgraStrip® Pro Whole Egg test kit is a lateral flow device (LFD) specifically developed to swiftly and conveniently detect egg residues on-site. It is designed to be used for analyzing raw materials, finished food products, beverages, rinse waters, and environmental samples. With this kit, egg traces can be qualitatively detected with utmost simplicity, speed, and reliability.
