Description
Overview: The Polyphenol Pack (KIT3008) helps improve the accuracy of gluten testing in foods or products that contain a lot of natural plant compounds like polyphenols (found in things like tea, wine, chocolate, and some fruits). These compounds can make it harder to detect gluten properly.
This kit works alongside other gluten testing tools from Hygiena (like GlutenTox Sticks and ELISA tests) to make sure gluten is extracted more effectively from tricky samples—so the test results are more reliable.This Polyphenol Pack KIT3008 can be used in combination with GlutenTox Sticks Plus (KIT3005), GlutenTox Sticks Plus for Reader (KIT3007) and the GlutenTox ELISA
Applications: The Hygiena KIT3008 Polyphenols Pack is primarily used to optimize gluten extraction from samples that contain high levels of polyphenols, tannins, or antioxidants.
Industries:
1. Food & Beverage Industry
- Beer and wine producers: These beverages often contain polyphenols, which can interfere with gluten detection.
- Processed food manufacturers: Especially those producing sauces, snacks, or products with plant-based ingredients rich in polyphenols.
- Gluten-free product manufacturers: To ensure accurate gluten testing in complex matrices.
2. Cosmetics Industry
- Skincare and personal care brands: Products containing natural antioxidants or plant extracts may require gluten testing for allergen safety, especially for sensitive consumers.
3. Nutraceuticals
- Supplement manufacturers: Polyphenol-rich formulations (e.g., green tea extracts, grape seed) may need gluten testing to meet allergen labeling standards.
4. Analytical & Diagnostic Laboratories
- Labs conducting ELISA-based gluten testing in complex matrices use this kit to improve extraction efficiency and accuracy.
