- RIDASCREEN®EASY Gluten (Art. No. RAE7071) is an R5-based sandwich enzyme immunoassay for the quantitative analysis of contaminations by prolamins from wheat (gliadins), rye (secalins), and barley (hordeins) in foods like baked goods, sauces, chocolate containing desserts and spices.

2. General information

- The use of wheat flour and gluten in foodstuffs is extremely common because of their heat stability and useful effects on e.g. texture, moisture retention and flavour. Gluten is a mixture of prolamin and glutelin proteins present in wheat, rye and barley. Coeliac disease is a permanent intolerance to gluten that results in damage to the small intestine and is reversible when gluten is avoided by diet. 

- The Codex Alimentarius Commission has stipulated in the „Codex Standard for Foods for Special Dietary Use for Persons Intolerant to Gluten” (CODEX STAN 118-1979) the limit value for gluten-free food at 20 mg/kg gluten. This threshold has also been adopted by many national legislations.
