‰Most Methods Are Antibody Based Methods:
ƒ ELISA Tend To Dominate Existing Methodologies Being Applied For Food
Control Purposes
ƒ Other Detection Approaches Are Possible e.g. SPR-based Biosensors
‰Some Methods Are DNA/RNA-based Methods – Used Generally
As Complementary Methods (Particularly In Jurisdictions Where
The Regulations Are Based On Protein Requirements)
‰Methods Based On Mass-spectrometry Detection (With The
