Sesame
Sesame (Sesamum indicum) is a widely used ingredient in foods such as pastries, baked goods, ice cream, cereals, chocolate, and oils. With its growing popularity, sesame has also become a leading cause of severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. To protect consumers, sesame labelling is mandatory in many global regions, where it is recognised as a major food allergen.
Sesame contains several allergenic proteins (Ses i 1–7) capable of triggering serious immune responses. Because even trace amounts can cause severe reactions, preventing cross-contamination in production environments is critical. Foods produced on shared lines with sesame-containing products, such as baked goods, desserts, or confectionery, must be carefully tested to verify they are free from unwanted sesame residues.
R-Biopharm Australia provides advanced sesame detection solutions designed to support regulatory compliance and ensure consumer safety. Our highly specific real-time PCR assays offer sensitive, reliable detection and quantification of sesame traces, even in complex or processed food matrices. These methods help manufacturers monitor allergens throughout production, maintain labelling accuracy, and safeguard allergen-free claims.
By implementing R-Biopharm’s sesame allergen testing systems, food producers can prevent contamination, comply with international standards, and protect allergic consumers, ensuring confidence, consistency, and trust in every product.
