Enzymatic and Chemical Modifications of Food Allergens

Food allergy is defined as an abnormal immunological reaction to food proteins, which causes an adverse clinical reaction. Today 4–6% of children and 1–3% of adults are affected with food allergy in Europe (Mills et al., 2007), while in the USA 6– 8% of children and 4% of adults are affected (Gupta et al., 2008). The incidence of food allergy has been increasing over the years, and to date, no ...

Rice proteins recognized by immunoglobulin E antibodies of patients with food allergies

Results We have demonstrated that boiling decrease solubility and IgE reactivity of PBS-extracted rice and wheat proteins, but in SDS-extracts this reactivity was only slightly affected. The sera of patients highly positive on the IgE immunoblot, positive in basophil activation and skin prick test with boiled rice components were used for characterizing the IgE-binding proteins separated by 1-D...

Effect of Food Thermal Processing on Allergenicity Proteins in Bombay Locust (Patanga Succincta)

Food security is importance for people all the world. Bombay locust (Patanga succincta) is a major agricultural pest in Thailand and most popular for consumption as human food. Arthropods include crustacean (shrimp) and insect which can induce allergic reactions in sensitive humans. The aims of this study is to identified the cross-reactive allergens in P. succincta with sera who allergic to sh...
