Ultrasensitive detection of soy traces by immunosensing of glycinin and β-conglycinin at disposable electrochemical platforms

This work reports the first electrochemical bioplatform for the determination of soy traces in food. The bioplatform involves sandwich-type immunoassays using specific antibodies for β-conglycinin and glycinin, which are the main allergenic soy proteins, and carboxylic acid-modified magnetic microbeads. Amperometric detection at −0.20 V (vs. an Ag pseudo-reference electrode) was performed using single or dual screen-printed carbon electrodes and the H2O2/hydroquinone (HQ) system. The measured variation in the cathodic current was directly proportional to the concentration of target allergenic proteins. The developed bioplatforms exhibit a good selectivity and sensitivity providing limits of detection (LOD) values of 0.03 and 0.02 ng mL−1 for β-conglycinin and glycinin, respectively. The determination of both proteins can be carried out in only 1.5 h. The electrochemical bioplatforms allow their accurate determinations (with results statistically comparable to those provided by ELISA methodologies) in raw cookie dough and baked cookies enriched with soy flour. The results obtained confirm, in a pioneering way with electrochemical biosensors, the possibility of discriminating samples incurred with as little as 0.0005 ppm of a food allergen in model cookie extracts.
