Sesame Free Test

It is a lateral flow test kit for the detection of sesame residues in food, cip solutions and working surfaces.

GENERAL INFORMATION:Sesame (Sesamum indicum) belongs to the Pedaliaceae. It contains a high fraction of of proteins (16-32%) and many of these are known to be allergenic, such as albumins Ses i 1 and Ses i 2 or the globulin Ses i 3, among others. Many of these proteins are thermally-stable during various production processes. Consumption of sesame might be harmful for people who are allergic to it. The allergen can be present as an ingredient or as a contamination in raw and cooked products. Consumption of sesamecontaining food from allergic people might cause a broad range of symptoms, such as hives, mild oral allergy or/and anaphylactic shock. Because of this, consumption of sesame or sesame-containing food should strictly be avoided from allergic persons. According to the regulation (EU) No. 1169/2011 Annex II, sesame is included in the list of allergens established by the European Food Safety Authority, and its presence must be indicated on the label. Similar regulations exist e.g. in the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
