PD CEN/TS 15634 is a technical specification on the detection of food allergens by molecular biological methods. PD CEN/TS 15634-3 provides the best industry guidance on the qualitative detection of hazelnut in chocolates by real-time PCR to ensure they are safe for consumption.
PD CEN/TS 15634-3 is the third part of a multi-series that describes a procedure for the qualitative detection of hazelnut (Corylus avellana) in chocolate. DNA is extracted from the chocolate and a specific DNA sequence for hazelnut is detected from the gene for corA 1.
Under PD CEN/TS 15634-3 the total DNA is extracted from the sample and the DNA content is estimated.
PD CEN/TS 15634-3 on the detection of hazelnut in chocolate by real-time PCR is useful for:
Food allergy is an immune system reaction that occurs soon after eating a certain food. Even a tiny amount of the allergy-causing food can trigger signs and symptoms such as digestive problems, hives, or swollen airways.
PD CEN/TS 15634-3 provides you with apparatus and equipment, procedures, validation status and performance criteria, reliability of the method, and much more.
The methods and procedures provided by PD CEN/TS 15634-3 assist you in detecting a specific DNA sequence in chocolate by real-time PCR, improving its quality, and ensuring the protection of consumer health.
With obedience and compliance to PD CEN/TS 15634-3, you can enhance the efficacy of the chocolate to prevent food allergies and manufacture a standardized product that is safe for consumption.
