Abstract:

The increasing phenomena of food allergy have highlighted the importance of quantitative analysis of food allergens. Currently, most methods for the quantitative detection of food allergens are indirect methods based on a single protein. Due to the development of mass spectrometry, quantitative proteomics is being widely used for the direct quantitative detection of trace allergens in complex food mixtures. In this paper, the research progress in quantitative detection methods for food allergens is discussed.

Key words: quantification, food allergen, mass spectrometry (MS), proteomics
