MILK ALLERGEN
What is milk allergy?
Allergy to cow's milk is one of the most common allergies at young ages, affecting almost 2-7.5% of children up to 5 years of age. It occurs after a few minutes after the ingestion of milk or dairy derivatives and only in rare cases, after 2-3 days after the administration of the food, a situation in which the cause-effect relationship is not so obvious, requiring further investigations.
Cow's milk contains fat, a sugar called lactose and protein. Proteins are responsible for the occurrence of allergic phenomena, through a hypersensitization mechanism in which the immune system considers milk proteins as "enemy " and manufactures antibodies or cells with memory against them, triggering an immune "war " and inflammation of the respective mucosa. The proteins responsible for the appearance of the allergy picture are: casein alfa and beta lactoglobulina
Procedure for detecting the presence of MILK in food
In the laboratory, quantitative dosing of milk allergen is performed by ELISA method.

I really enjoyed working with them.. we recommend. I just said what I needed and they told me exactly what analyzes I need to do, and at the end of the analysis bulletin I received an appendix with what should appear on the label at nutritional values! Bravo!
