What is PD CEN/TS 15634-4-Detection of peanuts in chocolate by real-time PCR about?
PD CEN/TS 15634 is a technical specification on the detection of food allergens by molecular biological methods. PD CEN/TS 15634-4 provides the best industry guidance on the qualitative detection of peanuts in chocolate by real-time PCR to ensure they are safe for consumption.
PD CEN/TS 15634-4 is the fourth part of a multi-series that describes a procedure for the qualitative detection of peanut (Arachis hypogaea) in chocolate using real-time PCR based on the gene for the peanut allergen Ara h 2.
Under PD CEN/TS 15634-4 the total DNA is extracted from the sample and the DNA content is estimated.
