BINAGHI, Maria Julieta et al. Soya traces quantification in cookies and extruded products with ELISA kits. Acta bioquím. clín. latinoam. [online]. 2017, vol.51, n.4, pp.653-660. ISSN 0325-2957.

Detection of traces of soy was evaluated in cookies and extruded product model systems (MS) containing 5000, 250, 100, 50, 25, 10, 5 and 0 ppm of soy protein concentrate (SPC). Besides, two different batches of eight different types of commercial cookies and two types of extruded products declaring soy presence through either the statement: “Contains…” or precautionary phrases were analyzed. Soy protein determination was carried out using three different commercial ELISA kits (R-Biopharm, Neogen-Veratox and Romer). Only the R-Biopharm kit allowed quantification of soy from 25 ppm of SPC in cookies and from 5 ppm of SPC in the extruded products. The other two kits had lower sensitivity. According to the results obtained in the analysis of cookies and extruded product MS with different commercial kits, it can be concluded that the performance of every kit should be studied for all allergens and each particular food matrix. This would enable establishing the most suitable method for commercial products control, in order to assess the correct allergen labeling.
