Description
Intended use:
EuroProxima Plus Cheese Fraud is a competitive enzyme immunoassay for screening of the presence of bovine milk in cheese of other species and sources.
General Information:
The Plus Cheese Fraud ELISA is a competitive enzyme immunoassay for screening for the presence of bovine milk in cheese produced from non bovine milk.
EuroProxima provides 3 ELISA kits for the detection of adulteration of food with bovine milk. The tests are based on monoclonal antibodies directed against small epitopes specific for bovine κ -casein protein. For fraud with cheese identity, a monoclonal antibody directed against a small epitope on the para-κ-casein part of the protein is used. The applied antibodies are specific for the detection of cow’s and buffalo’s milk. Moreover, the assays recognize denatured bovine-κ-casein in heat-treated and/or matured products due to the application of antibodies directed against only a small epitope in an inhibition assay format.
