The planned research aims to validate food allergen and gluten testing tools, and their incorporation in novel quality-management systems used in food production. It will leverage existing methodologies developed by r-Biopharm Canada (r-BPC), over the past decade through its parent company. Beyond a contribution to the validation and enhanced application of these methods on various […]

The planned research program aims to address an existing gap: the lack of commercial availability of reference materials for food allergens to be used in the context of analytical method development, validation and performance testing. In particular, naturally incurred samples representing food matrices where priority allergens are likely to occur, in a controlled and calibrated […]

Current analytical methods used for gluten detection are not able to discriminate the specific source of gluten and tend to overestimate the overall gluten content if from rye and barley by at least 10-fold, leading to limit food choices for coeliac patients. The main objective of this research is to initiate the development of bioanalytical […]
