Area of Science:

  • Food safety and microbiology
  • Analytical chemistry
  • Reference material development

Background:

  • Staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) is a significant foodborne pathogen toxin.
  • Accurate detection and quantification of SEA are crucial for public health.
  • Standardized reference materials are needed for reliable laboratory analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a stable and homogeneous reference material for staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA).
  • To ensure high recovery rates of SEA from the developed reference material.
  • To provide a validated tool for laboratory performance testing and method validation.

Main Methods:

  • Spray-drying of SEA in a milk matrix.
  • Encapsulation of the dried material into gelatin capsules (405 ng SEA per capsule).

  • Assessment of SEA recovery by dissolving the material in distilled water.

    • Main Results:

    • Homogeneous distribution of SEA within the milk powder matrix was achieved.
    • 100% recovery of SEA was demonstrated upon dissolution in distilled water.
    • The developed reference material is suitable for quality control and validation purposes.

    Conclusions:

    • Spray-drying in milk is an effective method for producing a stable SEA reference material.
    • The encapsulated reference material offers ease of handling and high recovery.
    • This material will support accurate laboratory testing, method comparison, and validation of SEA detection procedures.
