Pine (Pinus pinea) belongs to the pinaceae. With about 16 % the fraction of proteins in pine nut is high. Some of these proteins are known for being allergenic, such as the 2S albumin Pin p 1. Although pine nut allergies are relatively rare, they can be very severe in certain individuals. Even trace amounts of pine nut may trigger allergic reactions in sensitized people, potentially leading to anaphylactic shock in the most serious cases. As such, individuals with a pine nut allergy must strictly avoid consuming pine nuts or any food products that contain them.

Pine nuts are classified as regulated allergens in countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, and must therefore be clearly declared on food product labels. Cross-contamination — often a result of shared production lines — is a common concern. To mitigate this risk, advanced detection methods play a crucial role in accurately identifying pine nut traces, improving both food safety and regulatory compliance.

The SENSISpec ELISA Pine nut represents a highly sensitive detection system and is particularly capable of the quantification of pine nut residues in flours, cookies, ice cream, chocolate and meat.
