A polymerase chain reaction directed to detect wheat glutenin: Implications for gluten-free labelling
2009-08-01
Abstract excerpt
Gluten enteropathy or celiac disease (CD) is treated by strict adherence to gluten-free diet for life. Trace amounts of wheat in food from farm to table manifests as a major risk to these individuals. A qualitative polymerase chain reaction method was developed by selectively amplifying a 135 bp fragment of the glutenin gene to detect wheat DNA in a plethora of raw and heat processed foods. The limit of detection...
