ELISA RESPONSE AND GLIADIN COMPOSITION OF DIFFERENT WHEAT CULTIVARS GROWN IN MULTIPLE HARVEST YEARS

In special dietary products for people intolerant to gluten, gluten content is not supposed to exceed the regulatory thresholds. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) are routinely used to quantitate gluten in these products. They measure gliadin/gluten with high specifi city and sensitivity, but they have some limitations. Quantitative and qualitative variability of the target proteins among wheat cultivars is a factor that may cause inaccurate results. One of the aims of this work was to characterize the protein composition of fi ve wheat cultivars grown in multiple harvest years and their blends by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). The gliadin/gluten content of these wheat fl ours was also analysed with two commercial ELISA kits. The effect of differences in protein profi les between the fl ours from an individual cultivar and the blend of fi ve cultivars, harvest years, as well as processing procedures (dough forming and baking) on the results of two ELISA kits was investigated and their relative magnitude was determined. Among the factors investigated, the differences between fl ours had the greatest impact on gliadin recoveries.
