Abstract

In this chapter, the analytical workflow typically used for the development and validation of an analytical method tailored to food allergen detection and quantification is presented. The main steps defining the workflow are herein described and commented with specific notes about the critical issues that can be faced and common solutions to be adopted. References to guidelines and/or recommendation available from official bodies, as well as main papers from international consortia operating on the specific research field, are also reported, whenever possible. As such, this chapter may represent a practical guide to drive method development in the standardization of analytical methods for food allergen detection.

Keywords: Analytical workflow; Food allergen detection; Markers; Mass spectrometry; Method standardization.
