AB  - Tropomyosin has been recognized as one of the most common allergens among shellfish
allergens. Sensitive and specific quantification of traces of allergens present in food
samples is of critical importance for people with food allergies. This study thus aimed to
develop a highly sensitive immuno-PCR method for detecting crustacean tropomyosin in
foods. Method couples conventional sandwich ELISA assay with real-time PCR
amplification of marker DNA. Monoclonal mouse anti-tropomyosin antibody was used as
a capture antibody, while polyclonal rabbit anti-tropomyosin antibody served as a
detection antibody in sandwich ELISA. A double-stranded amino-DNA molecule of 77
base pairs was covalently conjugated to a secondary goat anti-rabbit antibody and
subsequently amplified and quantified by real-time PCR. Tropomyosin was quantified
using highly purified natural shrimp tropomyosin as standard. The sensitivity of immuno-
PCR for quantification of tropomyosin was increased by up to 20-fold compared to
ELISA, demonstrating a ccuracy a s l ow a s 1 9.8 p g/mL. Recovery of tropomyosin in
vegetable soup as a food matrix was in the 87.7–115.6% range, with relative standard
deviations in the 5–24.5% range. Tropomyosin was also quantified in the commercially
available food products. Developed immuno-PCR technique thus shows the potential to be
a method of choice for specific and ultrasensitive detection of tropomyosin in food
samples, with the final aim of reducing risks of accidental food contamination.

AB  - Ovalbumin (OVA), a main protein of egg white, has characteristic structural fold of a
serpin-family of proteins, propensity to fibril formation and stability to digestion.
Microplastics (MPs) contaminating our food can interact with food proteins in the food
matrix and during digestion. In this study adsorption of OVA to polystyrene (PS) (110 μm
and 260 μm), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) (140 μm) MPs were investigated in acidic
(pH 3) and neutral (pH 7) conditions. Formations of corona on MPs were investigated
using isolated OVA and egg white protein extract comparatively. OVA adsorption depends
on MPs size, polymer chemistry and pH, being highest in acidic pH and higher for PS.
Adsorption of OVA to PS and PET reaches dynamic equilibrium after 4h resulting in
disruption of tertiary structure and formation of hard and soft corona around MPs. Shorter
fragments of OVA populate hard corona, while soft corona exclusively consist of full
length OVA, albeit in its non-native conformation. The conformational changes resemble
those induced by heat treatment with re-arrangement of α-β secondary structures.
Structural changes are striking for the OVA in corona around MPs. Soft corona OVA
preserves thermal and proteolytic stability, but loses ability to form fibrils upon heating.
OVA is abundantly present in corona around MPs also in the presence of other egg white
proteins. MPs contaminating food may bind and change structure and functional properties
of main egg white protein.
