Description
Brazil nuts are seeds derived from a sizable South American tree in the Lecythidaceae family. Contrary to their name, they are not technically classified as true nuts but are seeds encased within a hard outer shell, akin to coconuts. Brazil nuts fall into the category of major tree nuts and have the potential to elicit potentially life-threatening food allergies. To mitigate the risk of cross-contamination during the manufacturing process, it is essential to thoroughly examine both the production environment and food products for any traces of brazil nuts. The food industry must employ highly sensitive testing equipment to ensure strict adherence to stringent food safety standards, safeguarding individuals from the potential consequences of brazil nut allergens.
The AgraStrip® Pro Brazil Nut test kit is a lateral flow device (LFD) specifically developed to swiftly and conveniently detect brazil nut residues on-site. It is designed to be used for analyzing raw materials, finished food products, beverages, rinse waters, and environmental samples. With this kit, brazil nut traces can be qualitatively detected with utmost simplicity, speed, and reliability.
