Description
Lupin, commonly encountered as garden flowers, belongs to the legume genus Lupinus, encompassing more than 200 species. Certain types of lupin legume seeds can be ground into lupin flour, which finds frequent application in bread, pasta, cakes, and pastries. Renowned for their elevated protein and fibre content, lupin seeds are increasingly being embraced as a substitute for soybeans and other legumes in the realm of food production. Although allergies to lupin are relatively uncommon, they do occur. Some individuals with peanut allergies may also experience reactions to lupin-containing food due to the botanical relationship between peanuts and lupin. The potential for cross-contamination during food production processes is a practical concern, necessitating the utilization of sensitive lupin detection tests within the food industry. This measure is crucial to safeguard allergic individuals from the potentially severe consequences, including fatality, associated with lupin consumption.
