Background:

Accurate quantification of allergenic proteins like mustard is crucial for food safety.
Existing methods may lack specificity or sensitivity for complex food matrices.
Development of reliable detection methods is essential for regulatory compliance and consumer protection.

Purpose of the Study:

To validate an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) kit for the quantitative determination of mustard protein in diverse food products.
To assess the performance of the ELISA method through an interlaboratory study involving multiple food matrices.
To establish the limit of quantification (LOQ) and limit of detection (LOD) for mustard protein detection.

Main Methods:

An interlaboratory study involving 12 laboratories was conducted.

Participants used a standardized ELISA kit based on rabbit polyclonal antibodies.

Fifteen food samples and two spiked samples were analyzed, with results evaluated using statistical tests (Cochran, Dixon, Mandel) and ANOVA.

Main Results:

The ELISA kit demonstrated no false-positive results or cross-reactivity in in-house validation.
Seven samples with zero declared mustard and four with declared mustard showed levels below the lowest standard (0.42 mg/kg).
Four samples with declared mustard exceeded the highest standard (12.5 mg/kg), with calculated LOQ of 1.8 mg/kg and LOD of 0.5 mg/kg.

Conclusions:

The validated ELISA method is suitable for the accurate and reliable quantitative determination of mustard protein in food.
The interlaboratory study confirmed the robustness and reproducibility of the ELISA kit across different food matrices.
This validated method supports enhanced food safety and accurate allergen labeling for mustard.
