Afficher plus [+] Moins [-]Parvalbumins beta (β-PRVBs) are considered the majorfishallergens. A new strategy for the rapid and directdetection of these allergens in any foodstuff is presented in this work. The proposed methodology is based on the purification of β-PRVBs by treatment with heat, the use of accelerated in-solution trypsin digestion under an ultrasonic field provided by High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) and the monitoring of only nineteen β-PRVB peptide biomarkers by Selected MS/MS Ion Monitoring (SMIM) in a linear ion trap (LIT) mass spectrometer. The present strategy allows the directdetection of the presence of fish β-PRVBs in any food product in less than 2 hours. This new affordable assay would be very useful for the sanitary and inspect authorities to protect sensitive consumers from allergic reactions and to guarantee their safety
