Rapid Gluten Allergen Detection Using an Integrated Photoimaging Assay and Ionic Liquid Extraction Sensor.

ABSTRACT: In recent years, food allergies and food sensitivities have remained critical public health problems that affect approximately 15% of the global population. Wheat is a major food source worldwide, but it is also a common food allergen. Celiac disease is chronic immune-mediated enteropathy triggered by exposure to dietary gluten in genetically predisposed individuals; it can be treated only through strict gluten avoidance. Therefore, rapid gluten detection is crucial for protecting the health of patients. Gluten contains two primary water-insoluble proteins: gliadin and glutenin. Gliadin is a key contributor to celiac disease and poses challenges for sample pretreatment owing to its insolubility, thereby reducing the accuracy and sensitivity of detection systems. Rapid sample processing is
