Atopic allergens of plant foods
Current Opinion in Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2001The exact knowledge of what structural characteristics of an antigen are responsible for its allergenicity may not be available for several years. However, it is striking that the majority of the plant food allergens are clustered within a few protein families, and these are reviewed in this article.

The impact of processing on allergenicity of food
Current Opinion in Allergy & Clinical Immunology, 2008Processing procedures and food structure may modulate the allergenic properties of foods. However, our lack of knowledge on this topic makes it difficult to both predict and minimize the impact of processing on allergenicity of foods and provide allergic patients with appropriate advice over what is safe to eat.New data on the major birch pollen ...

Insect (food) allergy and allergens
Molecular Immunology, 2018Insects represent an alternative for meat and fish in satisfying the increasing demand for sustainable sources of nutrition. Approximately two billion people globally consume insects. They are particularly popular in Asia, Latin America, and Africa. Most research on insect allergy has focussed on occupational or inhalation allergy.

Food allergens: molecular and immunological aspects, allergen databases and cross-reactivity.
Chemical Immunology, 2015The currently known food allergens are assigned to a relatively small number of protein families. Food allergens grouped into protein families share common functional and structural features that can be attributed to the allergenic potency and potential ...

Selected food allergens have been measured in 11 house dust samples. The amount of ovomucoid ranged from 170 to 6,300 ng/g dust. The amount of beta-lactoglobulin ranged from < 16 to 71 ng/g dust. Ovomucoid levels in some house dust samples are probably sufficiently high to cause sensitization and/or symptoms via inhalation.

Abstract While cutaneous testing for allergens has been of great aid in the study of the allergic disease, the tests not infrequently fail to identify the etiologic agent even when the case is manifestly allergic. Foods are less likely to give positive reactions than are pollens.

This chapter explores the role of peanuts as an alternative source of plant-based protein product. In addition, the safety assessment linked to allergenic potential of peanut is also explored. Peanut allergy, in fact, is one of the most widespread and severe IgE-mediated food allergies, with an estimated prevalence of 1% in children and 0.6% in adults ...

T-Cell Epitopes of Food Allergens
Clinical Reviews in Allergy & Immunology, 2006During recent years, a great deal of research has focused on the identification of food allergens, their characterization at the molecular level, and the investigation of immunological mechanisms responsible for food hypersensitivity. Allergen-reactive T-helper 2 cells play a central role in the pathophysiology of allergic diseases.

Food fraud and allergen management
Perspectives in Public Health, 2015The ongoing challenges involved in identifying and tackling food fraud are vital to safeguarding the health of the general public. The new food labelling legislation introduced in December 2014 has generated much discussion in the media and has not been understood or supported in certain sectors of the food industry.
