Description
Wen-Hao Chen and colleagues reported in 2024 on a fast way to detect gluten in food. Their system, called iFAMs, was built for people with celiac disease, who must avoid gluten found in wheat. The hard part is gliadin, a gluten protein that does not dissolve well and is hard to pull out of a sample.
The system joins a lateral flow chip, a one-pot extraction liquid, and a phone image assay app. It can extract and detect gliadin in under two minutes, at levels well below the set limit for gluten-free food. In tests on food from restaurants, it found hidden gluten in items sold as gluten-free.
