This may also explain the higher CV in the homogeneity tests.
Due to the complexity of the cake recipe we cannot pinpoint a
single reason for low recovery, but a combination of the factors
mentioned is most likely. Taking this complexity into account,
the method evaluated here largely complies with the guidelines
and best practices for allergen ELISA methods (10). With an

This collaborative study has shown that the G12 Sandwich
ELISA is capable of quantifying gluten in foods with an LOD
of 4.3 mg gluten/kg. This method shows good precision and
accuracy in the concentration range of most interest (20 mg/kg
and above), where it has to be decided whether a sample meets
guidelines for gluten content. Some matrix effects, especially
with the incurred chocolate cake samples, may lower recovery

to occasionally check recovery by using internal reference
samples with known gluten content.
According to these results, it is recommended that the method
be accepted by AOAC as 2I¿FLDO )LUVW $FWLRQ.
