Abstract: Soybean is recognized as one of the major food allergens. The rapid and accurate detection of soybean allergen with low cost has gained tremendous attention in the field of food and pharmaceutical industries. The major allergens in soybean include glycinin, β-conglycinin, Gly m Bd 60 K, Gly m Bd 30 K and Gly m Bd 28 K. The major detection methods for soybean allergens have electrophoresis method, immunological method, PCR, chromatography, mass spectroscopy and bio-chip technology. In this article, the major detection methods for allergens in soybean were summarized, which will provide the theoretical guidance for the allergen detection in different food sources and the ensure of food safety for human health.

Key words: soybean, soybean allergen, allergen analysis
