Almonds rank among the highest-protein nuts and some of these proteins are known for being allergenic. Its major protein AMP is known to be heat resistant, making it stable to different production processes. Already very low amounts can cause allergic reactions, which may lead to anaphylactic shock in severe cases.

Cross-contamination, mostly in consequence of the production process is often noticed. For this reason, sensitive detection systems for almond residues in foodstuffs are required. The SENSISpec ELISA Almond kit represents a highly sensitive detection system and is particularly capable of the quantification of almond residues in cookies, cereals, ice cream and chocolate.
