Market analysis of food products for detection of allergenic walnut (Juglans regia) and pecan (Carya illinoinensis) by real-time PCR López-Calleja, Inés María Cruz, Silvia de la González Alonso, María Isabel García Antón, María Teresa Martín, Rosario TaqMan real-time PCR Walnut (Juglans regia) Pecan (Carya illinoinensis) Commercial food products Food allergy Veterinaria 31 Ciencias Agrarias Two real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based assays for detection of walnut (Juglans regia) and pecan (Carya illinoinensis) traces in a wide range of processed foods are described here. The method consists on a real-time PCR assay targeting the ITS1 region, using a nuclease (TaqMan) probe labeled with FAM and BBQ. The method was positive for walnut and pecan respectively, and negative for all other heterologous plants and animals tested. Using a series of model samples with defined raw walnut in wheat flour and heat-treated walnut in wheat flour with a range of concentrations of 0.1–100,000 mg/kg, a practical detection limit of 0.1 mg/kg of walnut content was estimated. Identical binary mixtures were done for pecan, reaching the same limit of detection of 0.1 mg/kg. The assay was successfully trialed on a total of 232 commercial foodstuffs.
