Development of a low allergenic product for patients with milk allergy and assessment of its specific IgE reactivity. Pediatr Allergy Immunol 2024; 35:e14174. [PMID: 38899602 DOI: 10.1111/pai.14174] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2024] [Revised: 05/10/2024] [Accepted: 05/29/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Milk oral immunotherapy is the riskiest and most unpredictable form of oral immunotherapy. We aimed to produce a low allergenic product than conventional once baked-cake/muffin, to develop indirect in-house ELISA to check the tolerance status with milk products and evaluate IgE reactivity of patients' sera via western blotting (WB) and indirect in-house ELISA. METHOD A low allergenic product named biscotti-twice baked-cake was developed, and the total protein concentration was determined. The protein content was studied by SDS-PAGE and proteomics. Milk-specific IgE (sIgE) binding assays were performed by WB and indirect in-house ELISA by using patients' sera. RESULTS Casein band intensity was observed to be lower in the biscotti-twice baked-cake than in the once baked-cake (p = .014). Proteomics analysis and αS1-casein measurement showed that the lowest intensity of casein was found in biscotti. The low binding capacity of milk sIgE to biscotti compared with once baked-cake was shown by WB (p = .0012) and by indirect in-house ELISA (p = .0001). In the ROC analysis, the area under the curve (AUC) of the in-house ELISA IgE was comparable with Uni-CAP milk and casein sIgE. The AUC of the in-house ELISA IgE for cake (0.96) and biscotti (1) was slightly better than Uni-CAP milk sIgE (0.94; 0.97) and casein sIgE (0.96; 0.97), respectively. CONCLUSION The low allergenicity of the newly developed low allergenic product "biscotti-twice baked-cake" has been demonstrated by in vitro experiments. Biscotti could be a safe treatment option than once baked-cake/muffin in patients who are reactive to once baked-milk products.

Abstract
Food allergens are molecules, mainly proteins, that trigger immune responses in susceptible individuals upon consumption even when they would otherwise be harmless. Symptoms of a food allergy can range from mild to acute; this last effect is a severe and potentially life-threatening reaction. The European Union (EU) has identified 14 common food allergens, but new allergens are likely to emerge with constantly changing food habits. Mass spectrometry (MS) is a promising alternative to traditional antibody-based assays for quantifying multiple allergenic proteins in complex matrices with high sensitivity and selectivity. Here, the main allergenic proteins and the advantages and drawbacks of some MS acquisition protocols, such as multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) and data-dependent analysis (DDA) for identifying and quantifying common allergenic proteins in processed foodstuffs are summarized. Sections dedicated to novel foods like microalgae and insects as new sources of allergenic proteins are included, emphasizing the significance of establishing stable marker peptides and validated methods using database searches. The discussion involves the in-silico digestion of allergenic proteins, providing insights into their potential impact on immunogenicity. Finally, case studies focussing on microalgae highlight the value of MS as an effective analytical tool for ensuring regulatory compliance throughout the food control chain.

A Food Matrix Triggers a Similar Allergic Immune Response in BALB/c Mice Sensitized with Native, Denatured, and Digested Ovalbumin. Life (Basel) 2023; 13:1733.

Abstract
The search for an animal model to evaluate the allergenic potential of processed food products is still ongoing. Both the sensitization to ovalbumin (OVA) in different structural states and the allergic response triggered after intragastric or food challenges were assessed. BALB/c mice were sensitized intraperitoneally to OVA (50 µg) in different structural states (native OVA, N-OVA; denatured OVA, D-OVA; formaldehyde- and lysine-treated OVA, FK-OVA; denatured OVA-FK, OVA-DFK; peptides from pepsin digestion, Pep-OVA). Anti-OVA-specific IgE responses were evaluated using ELISA. Anaphylactic signs and mMCP-1 serum levels were evaluated after intragastric (2.0 mg/OVA) and food (0.41 mg/OVA) challenges. IgE reactivities to N-OVA and D-OVA were similar among groups (p > 0.05). After the challenges, all OVA-sensitized mice developed mild to severe anaphylactic signs (p < 0.05 vs. control). Mice sensitized to N-OVA and D-OVA had the highest mMCP-1 serum levels after challenges (p < 0.05 vs. control). Allergic responses were similar despite the different OVA doses used for the challenges. The N-OVA-sensitized murine model of egg allergy proposed in the present study holds the potential for evaluating the impact of food matrix composition and processing on the threshold of egg-allergic responses.

Abstract
Sesame can trigger a systemic allergic reaction. In the present study, we investigated the responses of the structure and IgE binding of sesame allergens to different roasting treatments (120, 150, and 180 °C for 5 to 30 min). We analyzed the tryptic digestion peptides using a label-free mass spectrometry method. The total amount of soluble proteins in sesame was significantly reduced by roasting at 180 °C, followed by 150 °C. Ses i 1 was the most stable protein during processing as it still possessed a higher protein abundance compared to other allergens after roasting under 180 °C. The most unstable allergens were Ses i 4 and Ses i 7, which suffered severe protein degradation at 180 °C. Roasting at 180 °C remarkably increased the secondary structure content of α-helices but decreased that of β-sheets, whereas roasting at 120 and 150 °C had a limited effect on the secondary structure of sesame proteins. Moreover, serum pool Western blot analysis showed that the main allergens were oleosin of Ses i 4 and Ses i 5. The IgE-binding ability of sesame allergens was significantly decreased under 180 °C roasting, as well as the solubility of sesame proteins, which showed remarkable congruence in changes. Relative quantification results indicate that individual sesame allergens respond differently to the roasting process. In general, sesame allergens are unstable under roasting treatment. Therefore, the allergenic potential of sesame allergens may be minimized by selecting appropriate parameters during processing.

Abstract
The pulp of the banana fruit is rich in bioactive compounds like dietary fibers, low glycemic carbohydrates, natural sugars, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. These beneficial compounds are responsible for the proper functioning of immune system and enhance prevention against various deadly diseases like cancer, diabetes and heart diseases. Despite having, positive effects, the fruit are recognized as an important source for causing allergy to 0.6% of people in general population and up to 67 and 46% for people with asthma or atopic dermatitis. Fruit allergy is one of the most common food allergies witnessed worldwide. Banana fruit allergy results from the abnormal immune response to the banana proteins soon after its consumption. Symptoms range from oral allergy syndrome (OAS) to the life-threatening anaphylaxis. IgE reactivity of banana is associated with different proteins of which six proteins have been identified as major allergens, viz., Mus a1 (Profilin-actin binding protein), Mus a 2 (Class 1 chitinase), Mus a 3 (Nonspecific lipid transfer protein), Mus a 4 (Thaumatin like protein), Mus a 5 (Beta 1,3 glucanase) and Mus a 6 (Ascorbate peroxidase). This review focuses on pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis, and different food processing methods to mitigate the allergenicity of banana fruit.

Impact of Food Matrices on Digestibility of Allergens and Poorly Allergenic Homologs. FRONTIERS IN ALLERGY 2022; 3:909410.

Abstract
Background Protease resistance is considered a risk factor for allergenicity of proteins, although the correlation is low. It is nonetheless a part of the weight-of-evidence approach, proposed by Codex, for assessing the allergenicity risk of novel food proteins. Susceptibility of proteins to pepsin is commonly tested with purified protein in solution. Objective Food proteins are rarely consumed in purified form. Our aim was to evaluate the impact of experimental and endogenous food matrices on protease susceptibility of homologous protein pairs with different degrees of allergenicity. Methods Porcine and shrimp tropomyosin (ST) were subjected to sequential exposure to amylase, pepsin, and pancreatin in their respective endogenous matrix (pork tenderloin/boiled shrimp) and in three different experimental matrices (dessert mousse [DM], soy milk [SM], and chocolate bar [CB]). Digestion was monitored by immunoblotting using tropomyosin-specific antibodies. Recombinant peach and strawberry lipid transfer protein were biotinylated, spiked into both peach and strawberry fruit pulp, and subjected to the same sequential digestion protocol. Digestion was monitored by immunoblotting using streptavidin for detection. Results Chocolate bar, and to a lesser extent SM, had a clear protective effect against pepsin digestion of porcine tropomyosin (PT) and to a lesser extent of ST. Increased resistance was associated with increased protein content. Spiking experiments with bovine serum albumin (BSA) confirmed the protective effect of a protein-rich matrix. The two tropomyosins were both highly resistant to pepsin in their protein-rich and lean native food matrix. Pancreatin digestion remained rapid and complete, independent of the matrix. The fat-rich environment did not transfer protection against pepsin digestion. Spiking of recombinant peach and strawberry lipid transfer proteins into peach and strawberry pulp did not reveal any differential protective effect that could explain differences in allergenicity of both fruits. Conclusions Protein-rich food matrices delay pepsin digestion by saturating the protease. This effect is most apparent for proteins that are highly pepsin susceptible in solution. The inclusion of food matrices does not help in understanding why some proteins are strong primary sensitizers while homologs are very poor allergens. Although for induction of symptoms in food allergic patients (elicitation), a protein-rich food matrix that may contribute to increased risk, our results indicate that the inclusion of food matrices in the weight-of-evidence approach for estimating the potential risks of novel proteins to become allergens (sensitization), is most likely of very limited value.

Abstract
While inorganic nanomaterials are copiously incorporated in food products, their impact on the allergenicity food proteins is largely unknown. This study analyzed the effect of widely used food additive nanomaterials (silica and titania) on the antigenicity and allergenicity of milk proteins (β-lactoglobulin and casein) and skimmed milk. Changes in the antigenicity of milk proteins in the presence of dietary nanomaterials were identified using an indirect-ELISA assay, while the change in allergenicity was studied using mast cell (LAD2) sensitized using allergic human sera. Results showed an enhancement in the allergenicity of milk proteins/skimmed milk interacted with particles (both silica and titania). Similarly, mast cell degranulation (a proxy for allergenicity) was higher when exposed to particle interacted skim milk where nanomaterials of titania showed the highest effect, and this tendency was retained even after subjecting to simulated gut digestion. Particles induced alterations in the structure of milk proteins, as evidenced by our studies, are reasoned to expose epitopes that increase allergenicity of milk proteins.

Abstract
Several factors can affect the allergen content and profile of a specific food, including processing procedures often leading to a decrease in allergenicity, although no change, or even an increase, have also been reported. Evaluation of the effectiveness of a processing procedure requires the availability of reliable methodologies to assess the variation in molecules able to induce allergic reactions in the analyzed food. Conventional and innovative strategies and methodologies can be exploited to identify allergenic proteins in foodstuffs. However, depending on the specific purposes, different methods can be used. In this review, we have critically reviewed the advantages of an innovative method, the multiplex allergen microarray-based immunoassay, in the detection of allergens in foodstuffs. In particular, we have analyzed some studies reporting the exploitation of an IgE-binding inhibition assay on multiplex allergen biochips, which has not yet been reviewed in the available literature. Unlike the others, this methodology enables the identification of many allergenic proteins, some of which are still unknown, which are recognized by IgE from allergic patients, with a single test. The examined literature suggests that the inhibition test associated with the multiplex allergen immunoassay is a promising methodology exploitable for the detection of IgE-binding proteins in food samples.

Abstract
The substitution of minimally processed food and culinary home preparations for ready-to-eat products is increasing worldwide, which is overlooked as a cause of concern. The technological developments and the rise in highly processed food availability have introduced the concept of ultra-processed food (UPF). Food classification systems based on processing are now a new basis for epidemiological research. Different results from these classifications might influence conclusions on the population’s consumption of UPF or its association with health outcomes. The aim of this study was to compare classification systems and to find out if their results are comparable when evaluating the extent of high/UPF on the overall diet. Portuguese data from the year 2000 was extracted from the DAFNE-AnemosSoft, and 556 food/beverages items were classified according to five systems. The contribution of UPF was calculated as a percentage of total available amount and discrepancy ranges used for comparisons. Results of UPF availability contributions were: NOVA 10.2%; UNC 15.2%; IFPRI 16.7%; IFIC 17.7%; IARC 47.4%. The highest discrepancy ranges were from alcoholic beverages (97.4%), milk/milk products (94.2%), sugar/sugar products (90.1%), added lipids (74.9%), and cereals/cereal products (71.3%). Inconsistencies among classifications were huge and the contribution from highly/UPF presented high discrepancies. Caution must be taken when comparing and interpreting such data.

Abstract
Wheat allergy is a potentiallylife-threatening disease that affects millions of people around the world. Food processing has been shown to influence the allergenicity of wheat and other major foods. However, a comprehensive review evaluating whether or not food processing can be used to develop hypo-/nonallergenic wheat products is unavailable. There were three objectives for this study: (1) to critically evaluate the evidence on the effect of fermentation, thermal processing, and enzyme or acid hydrolysis on wheat allergenicity so as to identify the potential for and challenges of using these methods to produce hypo-/nonallergenic wheat products; (2) to identify the molecular effects of food processing needed to create such products; and (3) to map the concept questions for future research and development to produce hypo-/nonallergenic wheat products. We performed literature research using PubMed and Google Scholar databases with various combinations of keywords to generate the data to accomplish these objectives. We found that: (1) food processing significantly modulates wheat allergenicity; while some methods can reduce or even abolish the allergenicity, others can create mega allergens; and (2) fermentation and enzymatic hydrolysis hold the most potential to create novel hypo-/nonallergenic wheat products; however, preclinical validation and human clinical trials are currently lacking. We also identify five specific research concepts to advance the research to enable the creation of hypo-/nonallergenic wheat products for application in food, medical, and cosmetic industries.

Characterization of the protein structure of soymilk fermented by Lactobacillus and evaluation of its potential allergenicity based on the sensitized-cell model. Food Chem 2021; 366:130569.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effects of fermented soymilk (FSM) with Lactobacillus brevis CICC 23,474 and L. brevis CICC 23,470 on the structural changes and allergenicity of major allergenic proteins in soymilk (SM). Spectroscopy and liquid chromatograph-tandem mass spectrometer (LC-MS/MS) were used to characterize changes in protein spatial structure and epitopes. The antigenicity and potential allergenicity were evaluated by immunoblotting, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and KU812 cell degranulation assay. Results suggested that the advanced structure of proteins was destroyed. Antigenicity was also significantly reduced, and five human IgE-binding linear epitopes (i.e., E5-E33, R27-S41, D414-A437, G253-I265 and V449-S471) were destroyed by fermentation. Furthermore, after in vitro simulated gastrointestinal digestion, FSM showed lower IgG/IgE-binding capacity and weaker degranulation ability of KU812 cells. All these findings demonstrated that fermentation with Lactobacillus can destroy the conformational and linear epitopes of proteins and reduce the potential allergenicity of SM.

Abstract
Current approaches based on electrophoretic, chromatographic or immunochemical principles have allowed characterizing multiple allergens, mapping their epitopes, studying their mechanisms of action, developing detection and diagnostic methods and therapeutic strategies for the food and pharmaceutical industry. However, some of the common structural features related to the allergenic potential of food proteins remain unknown, or the pathological mechanism of food allergy is not yet fully understood. In addition, it is also necessary to evaluate new allergens from novel protein sources that may pose a new risk for consumers. Technological development has allowed the expansion of advanced technologies for which their whole potential has not been entirely exploited and could provide novel contributions to still unexplored molecular traits underlying both the structure of food allergens and the mechanisms through which they sensitize or elicit adverse responses in human subjects, as well as improving analytical techniques for their detection. This review presents cutting-edge instrumental techniques recently applied when studying structural and functional aspects of proteins, mechanism of action and interaction between biomolecules. We also exemplify their role in the food allergy research and discuss their new possible applications in several areas of the food allergy field.

Abstract
Evaluating the gastrointestinal (GI) fate of proteins is part of the assessment to determine whether proteins are safe to consume. In vitro digestion tests are often used for screening purposes in the evaluation of potential allergenicity. However, the current pepsin resistant test used by the European Food Safety Authority, only corresponds to fasted gastric conditions representative of a late phase adult stomach. In addition, these tests are performed on isolated proteins and the effect of the food matrix and processing are not systematically considered. The aim of this research is to compare three different static in vitro GI scenarios that are physiologically relevant. Namely, an infant, early phase (fed state) adult and late phase (fasted state) adult model. These protocols are applied to well-characterised isolated dairy (β-lactoglobulin and β-casein) and egg (lysozyme and ovalbumin) proteins and the impact of food matrix/processing on their proteolysis is also investigated. A combination of SDS-PAGE, LC-MS/MS and spectrophotometric assay was used for the evaluation of the proteolysis. Results highlight differences across the three GI scenarios whether on isolated proteins or within food matrices. The infant model led to incomplete digestion, leaving intact egg proteins, either isolated or in the food matrix, and intact β-lactoglobulin in the milk. In addition, peptides greater than 9 amino acids were found throughout the intestinal phase for all proteins studied, regardless of the scenario. This reinforces the difficulty of linking protein digestibility to potential allergenicity because many other factors are involved that need further investigation.

Effect of Processing on Fish Protein Antigenicity and Allergenicity. Foods 2021; 10:foods10050969.

Abstract
Fish allergy is a life-long food allergy whose prevalence is affected by many demographic factors. Currently, there is no cure for fish allergy, which can only be managed by strict avoidance of fish in the diet. According to the WHO/IUIS Allergen Nomenclature Sub-Committee, 12 fish proteins are recognized as allergens. Different processing (thermal and non-thermal) techniques are applied to fish and fishery products to reduce microorganisms, extend shelf life, and alter organoleptic/nutritional properties. In this concise review, the development of a consistent terminology for studying food protein immunogenicity, antigenicity, and allergenicity is proposed. It also summarizes that food processing may lead to a decrease, no change, or even increase in fish antigenicity and allergenicity due to the change of protein solubility, protein denaturation, and the modification of linear or conformational epitopes. Recent studies investigated the effect of processing on fish antigenicity/allergenicity and were mainly conducted on commonly consumed fish species and major fish allergens using in vitro methods. Future research areas such as novel fish species/allergens and ex vivo/in vivo evaluation methods would convey a comprehensive view of the relationship between processing and fish allergy.

Abstract
This perspective study addresses the main causes of adverse reactions to foods in humans, by taking into account the main allergic reactions that may occur as a result of food ingestion, as well the main allergens present in food and how their allergenicity change as a result of food preparation. In addition, European legislation on food labeling and novel foods was taken into account. The case study of this perspective is on the potential allergenicity of edible flowers as well as evidence of phytochemistry and toxic compounds and the risk associated with their ingestion. Regarding edible flowers, a key issue to address is if they are safe to consume or not. In the framework of the project “Innovative activities for the development of the cross-border supply chain of the edible flower” (ANTEA), we considered 62 different species and varieties of edible flowers. The results obtained by consulting two databases on allergens, COMPRISE and Allergen Nomenclature, marked two alerts for two species of edible flowers selected in the project. Moreover, based on edible flower consumption, about ten grams per serving, and on their protein content, we can also state that the risk of allergic reactions due to edible flower ingestion is very low.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although many egg- and milk-allergic children tolerate baked egg (BE) and baked milk (BM), reactions elicited by these oral food challenges (OFCs) can be severe. Previous studies comparing BE and BM reactions to other OFC reactions are limited. OBJECTIVE To compare the clinical features of reactions to BE and BM with other OFCs to promote challenge safety. METHODS A retrospective review of OFCs eliciting objective reactions to BE, BM, lightly cooked egg (CE), fresh cow's milk (CM), peanut (PN), and tree nuts (TN) which were performed at a tertiary referral center from June 1, 2017, to June 1, 2019. RESULTS We identified 174 OFCs conducted in 158 subjects, age 6 to 187 months (34 BE, 19 BM, 14 CE, 25 CM, 52 PN, and 30 TN). TN reactors were older than BE (P = .049) and PN (P < .01) reactors and had a higher frequency of persistent asthma than PN-reactive subjects (P = .02). Mucocutaneous symptoms occurred less frequently during BE (56%) and BM (42%) OFCs compared with other OFCs (P < .05). Lower respiratory tract reactions were increased during BM (37%) versus BE (12%), CM (8%), and PN (12%) OFCs (P < .05). Epinephrine was administered to more BE (44%) and TN (50%) than PN (17%) OFCs (P < .01). New reaction manifestations developed 60 minutes or later after OFC termination during 29% BE and 21% BM versus 0% PN OFCs (P < .05). One-third of anaphylactic reactions to BE began more than 60 minutes after OFC termination. CONCLUSIONS BE and BM challenge reactions differed phenotypically from other OFC reactions, including significantly increased frequencies of new symptoms beginning 60 minutes or later after challenge termination. Consider amended dose-escalation and prolonged observation after BE and BM OFCs.

Abstract
Shrimps cause a significant part of crustacea-related allergies. It is used in processed foods, including fermented Korean foods, such as kimchi. Even low amounts of shrimp allergens can provoke reactions in consumers allergic to shrimp. Accurate food labeling is the most effective means of preventing the consumption of allergenic ingredients. To validate labeling compliance and minimize the risk of cross-contaminations, the effectiveness of methodologies used for the detection of allergens in foods should be compared. Here, seven commercial kits, based on quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), were assessed for their ability to detect the presence of shrimp allergens in food. Our results showed that SureFood real-time PCR kit and Ridascreen ELISA kit had the highest recovery, whereas five other kits underperformed in the determination of allergen content of kimchi and its ingredients. The variation in recovery among the kits depended on the limit of detection and reactivity to the shrimp allergens, tropomyosin, and sarcoplasmic calcium-binding protein. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: This research confirms the performance of commercial kits to detect the presence of shrimp allergens in kimchi, and demonstrates that the sensitivity of these kits depends on reactivity to the specific shrimp allergenic proteins. These results can be used to food allergy labeling and can be applied by the food industry to develop allergen test kits for fermented foods with improved performance.

Abstract
SCOPE The major carrot allergen Dau c 1 belongs to the group of pathogenesis related class 10 (PR-10) proteins and is homologous to the birch pollen allergen Bet v 1. In contrast to most other PR-10 allergens, Dau c 1 can elicit Bet v 1 independent sensitization. Although Dau c 1 is considered heat labile, allergic reactions against cooked carrots are possible. METHODS AND RESULTS The pH and temperature stability as well as the allergenic potential before and after treatment of purified natural (n) Dau c 1 and different recombinant (r) isoallergens is investigated: rDau c 1.0104, rDau c 1.0105, rDau c 1.0201, rDau c 1.0301. All proteins except rDau c 1.0201 are able to refold at physiological pH. pH conditions around the pI (4.4-5.5) or the presence of the carrot matrix reduce the refolding capacity. Below the pI, most isoallergens are heat resistant and still able to cause mediator release, indicating allergenicity. Moreover, cooked carrot extract is still able to provoke mediator release due to remaining soluble Dau c 1. CONCLUSION Patients allergic to carrots should avoid processed carrot containing foodstuff because heating or pH treatment do not completely abolish the allergenicity of Dau c 1.

Abstract
Milk allergy is among the most common food allergies present in early childhood, which in some cases may persist into adulthood as well. Proteins belonging to both casein and whey fractions of milk can trigger an allergic response in susceptible individuals. Milk is present as an ingredient in many foods, and it can also be present as casein- or whey-enriched milk-derived ingredients. As whey proteins are more susceptible to thermal processing than caseins, conventional methods often posed a challenge in accurate detection of whey allergens, particularly from a processed complex food matrix. In this study, a targeted mass spectrometry method has been developed to detect the presence of both casein and whey allergens from thermally processed foods. A pool of 19 candidate peptides representing four casein proteins and two whey proteins was identified using a discovery-driven target selection approach from various milk-derived ingredients. These target peptides were evaluated by parallel reaction monitoring of baked cookie samples containing known amounts of nonfat dry milk (NFDM). The presence of milk could be detected from baked cookies incurred with NFDM at levels as low as 1 ppm using seven peptides representing α-, β-, and κ-casein proteins and three peptides representing a whey protein, β-lactoglobulin, by this consensus PRM method.

Abstract
Pistachio and cashew contain allergenic proteins, which causes them to be removed from the diet of allergic people. Previous studies have demonstrated that food processing (thermal and non-thermal) can produce structural and/or conformational changes in proteins by altering their allergenic capacity. In this study, the influence of instant controlled pressure drop (DIC) on pistachio and cashew allergenic capacity has been studied. Western blot was carried out using IgG anti-11S and anti-2S and IgE antibodies from sera of patients sensitized to pistachio and cashew. DIC processing causes changes in the electrophoretic pattern, reducing the number and intensity of protein bands, as the pressure and temperature treatment increment, which results in a remarkable decrease in detection of potentially allergenic proteins. The harshest conditions of DIC (7 bar, 120 s) markedly reduce the immunodetection of allergenic proteins, not only by using IgG (anti 11S and anti 2S) but also when IgE sera from sensitized patients were used for Western blots. Such immunodetection is more affected in pistachio than in cashew nuts, but is not completely removed. Therefore, cashew proteins are possibly more resistant than pistachio proteins. According these findings, instant controlled pressure drop (DIC) can be considered a suitable technique in order to obtain hypoallergenic tree nut flour to be used in the food industry.

Abstract
Nowadays, the increasing prevalence of food allergy has become a public concern related to human health worldwide. Thus, it is imperative and necessary to provide some efficient methods for the management of food allergy. Some conventional processing methods (e.g., boiling and steaming) have been applied in the reduction of food immunoreactivity, while these treatments significantly destroy nutritional components present in food sources. Several studies have shown that novel processing techniques generally have better performance in retaining original characteristics of food and improving the efficiency of eliminating allergens. This review has focused on the recent advances of novel non-thermal processing techniques including high-pressure processing, ultrasound, pulsed light, cold plasma, fermentation, pulsed electric field, enzymatic hydrolysis, and the combination processing of them. Meanwhile, general information on global food allergy prevalence and food allergy pathology are also described. Hopefully, these findings regarding the modifications on the food allergens through various novel food processing techniques can provide an in-depth understanding in the mechanism of food allergy, which in turn possibly provides a strategy to adapt in the reduction of food immunoreactivity for the food industries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is suspected that many canine cutaneous adverse food reactions (CAFR) are true immunological hypersensitivities; however, few specific dietary allergens have been identified. OBJECTIVE To compare serum immunoglobulin (Ig)E and IgG reactivity to specific food antigens in privately owned dogs with and without CAFR. ANIMALS Eighteen adult dogs with nonseasonal pruritus recruited from a hospital population. METHODS AND MATERIALS Dogs were fed an extensively hydrolysed poultry-based diet exclusively for 12 weeks. Serum was collected at the beginning of the trial. Canine atopic dermatitis extent and severity index and pruritus Visual Analog Scale scoring were performed at the beginning and end of the trial. Immunoblotting was performed to identify IgE and/or IgG binding to specific proteins in beef, egg, milk, chicken, pork, soy and wheat extracts. RESULTS A CAFR (defined as an unequivocal relapse of pruritus after dietary challenge) was diagnosed in 10 dogs, with 60% relapsing when fed chicken-based diets. Binding of subjects' IgG to almost all proteins in all extracts was seen regardless of reported dietary history. Few proteins were exclusively or predominantly bound by IgE in CAFR dogs. Exceptions included a 42 kDa band (chicken), a 52 kDa band (beef), a 46 kDa band (beef and milk) and a poorly defined high molecular weight protein or proteins (beef and milk). CONCLUSION This study demonstrated three protein bands and a poorly defined band predominantly recognized by sera from dogs with CAFR relative to non-CAFR dog sera. Almost all proteins were bound by IgG in all dogs, suggesting prior exposure to unreported foods.

Abstract
BACKGROUND cow's milk allergy (CM) is among the most common food allergies in young children and is often outgrown by adulthood. Prior to developing a tolerance to CM, a majority of CM-allergic children may tolerate extensively-heated CM. This study aims to characterize the IgE- and T cell-reactivity to unheated CM and the progressively more heated CM-containing foods. METHODS CM-containing food extracts from muffin, baked cheese, custard and raw, pasteurized CM commercial extract were tested for skin prick test reactivity, IgE binding and T cell reactivity as assessed by IL-5 and IFNγ production. RESULTS the skin prick test (SPT) reactivity was significantly decreased to muffin extract compared to raw, pasteurized CM. Both IgE- and T-cell reactivity were readily detectable against food extracts from all forms of CM. Western blot analysis of IgE reactivity revealed variability between extracts that was protein-specific. T cell-reactivity was detected against all four extracts with no significant difference in IL-5 or IFNγ production between them. CONCLUSION our data indicate that despite reduced clinical reactivity, extracts from heated CM-containing foods retain immunogenicity when tested in vitro, particularly at the T cell level.

Abstract
In recent years, there has been increasing interest in renewable and sustainable protein resource of plant origin. The reasons for this are summarized as follows: (1) green, low-cost, environmental friendly and sustainable concepts are deeply rooted in people's minds; (2) long-term use of animal protein can lead to high blood pressure, obesity, negative environmental impacts; (3) more and more vegetarians are emerged; (4) many consumers still do not accept food grade insect. Based on this situation, this paper links eco-innovative ultrasound technology to plant-derived sustainable proteins resource, and magnifies the advantages of both at the same time. Ultrasound is a novel, green and rapid developing environmental friendly technology, which is suitable for up scaling and improving the physicochemical properties of protein. This review summarizes the mechanisms, cavitation properties of ultrasonic field, consumption of energy, applications of spectroscopic techniques for evaluating plant-derived proteins conformation changes, effects of ultrasound on the structure and physicochemical properties of plant-derived renewable proteins, and application of ultrasound treatment proteins in food industry. Furthermore, future research to better utilize this green technology is suggested. In this way, it not only conforms to the concept of sustainable, high-efficiency, and environmental protection of the food protein industry, but also clarifies the relationship between protein structure and properties, which are conducive to the application of ultrasound in protein industrialization.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cow's milk allergy is the most common food allergy in childhood. Changes occur in the protein structure of milk during yogurt fermentation. This study aimed to determine whether children who are diagnosed with a cow's milk allergy can tolerate yogurt. METHODS We performed a yogurt challenge test on 34 children who were diagnosed with a cow's milk allergy in our Pediatric Allergy Outpatient Clinic. The mean age of 24 male and 10 female children was 24 ± 13 months. RESULTS A reaction was observed in 17 (50%) patients, whereas no reaction was observed in the other 17 (50%) during an oral yogurt challenge test that was performed in all of the 34 patients with a cow's milk allergy. Cow's milk-specific immunoglobulin E levels were significantly lower in the group of children who could tolerate yogurt than in the group of children who could not tolerate yogurt. CONCLUSION Yogurt is tolerated by half of children with a cow's milk allergy when subjected to a challenge test performed with yogurt, which is consumed as much as milk in Turkey.

Abstract
Amino acid (AA) sequences of 807 bioactive peptides from foods of animal origin were examined in order to correlate peptide structure with activity (antihypertensive, antioxidative, immunomodulatory, antimicrobial, hypolipidemic, antithrombotic, and opioid) and stability in vivo. Food sources, such as milk, meat, eggs, and marine products, show different frequencies of bioactive peptides exhibiting specific effects. There is a correlation of peptide structure and effect, depending on type and position of AA. Opioid peptides contain a high percentage of aromatic AA residues, while antimicrobial peptides show an excess of positively charged AAs. AA residue position is significant, with those in the first and penultimate positions having the biggest effects on peptide activity. Peptides that have activity in vivo contain a high percentage (67%) of proline residues, but the positions of proline in the sequence depend on the length of the peptide. We also discuss the influence of processing on activity of these peptides, as well as methods for predicting release from the source protein and activity of peptides.

Abstract
Seafood allergy is a hypersensitive disorder with increasing prevalence worldwide. Effective and accurate diagnostic workup for seafood allergy is essential for clinicians and patients. Parvalbumin and tropomyosin are the most common fish and shellfish allergens, respectively. The diagnosis of seafood allergies is complicated by cross-reactivity among fish allergens and between shellfish allergens and other arthropods. Current clinical diagnosis of seafood allergy is a complex algorithm that includes clinical assessment, skin prick test, specific IgE measurement, and oral food challenges. Emerging diagnostic strategies, such as component-resolved diagnosis (CRD), which uses single allergenic components for assessment of epitope specific IgE, can provide critical information in predicting individualized sensitization patterns and risk of severe allergic reactions. Further understanding of the molecular identities and characteristics of seafood allergens can advance the development of CRD and lead to more precise diagnosis and improved clinical management of seafood allergies.

Abstract
SCOPE The major celery allergen Api g 1 is a member of the pathogenesis-related 10 class protein family. This study aims to investigate the impact of heat and pH on the native protein conformation required for Immunoglobulin E (IgE) recognition. METHODS AND RESULTS Spectroscopic methods, MS and IgE-binding analyses are used to study the effects of pH and thermal treatment on Api g 1.0101. Heat processing results in a loss of the native protein fold via denaturation, oligomerization, and precipitation along with a subsequent reduction of IgE recognition. The induced effects and timescales are strongly pH dependent. While Api g 1 refolds partially into an IgE-binding conformation at physiological pH, acidic pH treatment leads to the formation of structurally heat-resistant, IgE-reactive oligomers. Thermal processing in the presence of a celery matrix or at pH conditions close to the isoelectric point (pI = 4.63) of Api g 1.0101 results in almost instant precipitation. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates that Api g 1.0101 is not intrinsically susceptible to heat treatment in vitro. However, the pH and the celery matrix strongly influence the stability of Api g 1.0101 and might be the main reasons for the observed temperature lability of this important food allergen.

Abstract
SCOPE Shellfish allergy is an increasing global health priority, frequently affecting adults. Molluscs are an important shellfish group causing food allergy but knowledge of their allergens and cross-reactivity is limited. Optimal diagnosis of mollusc allergy enabling accurate advice on food avoidance is difficult. Allergens of four frequently ingested Asia-Pacific molluscs are characterized: Sydney rock oyster (Saccostrea glomerata), blue mussel (Mytilus edulis), saucer scallop (Amusium balloti), and southern calamari (Sepioteuthis australis), examining cross-reactivity between species and with blue swimmer crab tropomyosin, Por p 1. METHODS AND RESULTS IgE ELISA showed that cooking increased IgE reactivity of mollusc extracts and basophil activation confirmed biologically relevant IgE reactivity. Immunoblotting demonstrated strong IgE reactivity of several proteins including one corresponding to heat-stable tropomyosin in all species (37-40 kDa). IgE-reactive Sydney rock oyster proteins were identified by mass spectrometry, and the novel major oyster tropomyosin allergen was cloned, sequenced, and designated Sac g 1 by the IUIS. Oyster extracts showed highest IgE cross-reactivity with other molluscs, while mussel cross-reactivity was weakest. Inhibition immunoblotting demonstrated high cross-reactivity between tropomyosins of mollusc and crustacean species. CONCLUSION These findings inform novel approaches for reliable diagnosis and improved management of mollusc allergy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ovomucoid (OVM) is the dominant allergen found in egg white. The heat-induced changes on chicken OVM structure and antigenic properties were assessed at acidic, neutral and alkaline pH values. RESULTS The fluorescence spectroscopy measurements indicated changes in the conformation of OVM caused by both pH and thermal treatment. The OVM molecule exhibited higher exposure of hydrophobic residues at 7.0, as indicated by the synchronous spectra, intrinsic fluorescence and quenching experiments. When heating the protein at pH 9.5, the molecular structure appeared more compact. The antigenic properties of OVM, estimated through the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, appeared not to be sensitive to heat at pH 7.0 and 4.5. Single molecule level investigations indicated that the secondary and tertiary structure of OVM was affected by the thermal treatment. CONCLUSIONS Experimental results indicated over 90% reduction of the antigenicity at pH 9.5 and temperature of 100 °C. Significant changes of the linear epitopes exposure and location of the conformational epitopes were highlighted after performing heating molecular dynamics simulations of OVM from 25 °C to 100 °C. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increasing dairy consumption in China has been accompanied by rising incidence of milk allergy. Here we analyzed profiles of specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) against cow's milk proteins, and assessed their value for milk allergy diagnosis among infants and young children from northern China. METHODS Sera collected from 48 patients with milk allergy and 27 negative control subjects was analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to measure sIgE to α-lactalbumin (Bos d 4), β-lactoglobulin (Bos d 5), α-casein (Bos d 9), β-casein (Bos d 11), and κ-casein (Bos d 12). RESULTS Among milk-allergic individuals, most were sensitized to at least one milk protein; about half were sensitized to Bos d 5, Bos d 9, Bos d 11 and Bos d 12, respectively, while few had positive serum sIgE against Bos d 4. Bos d 12 sIgE had the largest area under curve (AUC) (0.878; 95% CI, 0.800-0.957) and thus showed the best diagnostic performance in discriminating between milk-allergic and non-milk allergic patients, with a sensitivity of 92.6% and specificity of 72.9% using a statistically optimal cut-off value (OD450nm, 0.191). The combinations of Bos d 5 + Bos d 12 showed an AUC of 0.926, which was larger than for any individual components. CONCLUSIONS Our results revealed inter-individual variation in the sensitization to different milk allergen component. Bos d 12 sIgE showed best performance in diagnosing milk allergy. Milk allergy diagnostic accuracy was further improved using combinations of milk allergen components by application of ROC curves based on logistic regression.

Abstract
In this study, we determined whether solid-state fermentation could degrade major allergens and reduce potential allergenicity of soybean meal (SBM). Solid-state fermentation was realized through a mixture of Lactobacillus casei, yeast, and Bacillus subtilis. High-performance liquid chromatography, size exclusion-high-performance liquid chromatography, and capillary liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry coupled with electrospray ionization were used to examine the total amino acids and molecular weight distribution of the fermented soybean meal (FSBM). In addition, the potential allergenicity of FSBM was assessed by conducting in vitro competitive inhibition ELISA and oral sensitization and challenge of a BALB/c mice model. The results indicated that the total amino acid content increased and soy protein was degraded into polypeptides with low molecular weights that were derived from the hydrolysis of the allergen sequences N232-D383, G253-I265, E169-S215, G68-G98, A365-I375, and V153-A167. Moreover, the FSBM group exhibited a lower in vitro immunoglobulin E (IgE)-binding capacity than the SBM group. The BALB/c model indicated that the FSBM group manifested milder damage to the intestine, lower mMCP-1 and IgE levels, and higher IFN-γ levels as compared to the SBM group. These findings suggested that the potential allergenicity of SBM was reduced by the solid-state fermentation induced by the mixture of Lactobacillus casei, yeast, and Bacillus subtilis.

Abstract
Several buffer compositions were compared for their efficiency in protein extraction from both raw and roasted peanut and hazelnut samples, the final goal being to understand the modification of protein solubility upon roasting and maximize the extraction yield. Denaturant conditions provided by urea-TBS buffer resulted in satisfactory extraction yields for both peanut and hazelnut samples, before and after the thermal treatment. In addition, different varieties of peanuts and hazelnuts were characterized to highlight the extent of variability in the protein profile accounted by the varietal factor and eventual differential resistance among cultivars to protein modification induced by the thermal processing. The protein profile was characterized by gel electrophoresis, and specific bands were analyzed by micro-HPLC-MS/MS coupled to software-based protein identification. No significant difference was observed for the investigated hazelnut cultivars, namely, Campana, Romana, and Georgia, whereas interesting features were presented for the peanut varieties Virginia, Zambia, and China. In particular, Zambia variety lacked two bands of approximately 36 and 24 kDa that were visible in Virginia and China varieties, which could suggest a lower allergenic potential of this particular variety which deserves to be further investigated before drawing final conclusions.

Abstract
In many African cultures, insects are part of the diet of humans and domesticated animals. Compared to conventional food and feed sources, insects have been associated with a low ecological foot print because fewer natural resources are required for their production. To this end, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations recognized the role that edible insects can play in improving global food and nutrition security; processing technologies, as well as packaging and storage techniques that improve shelf-life were identified as being crucial. However, knowledge of these aspects in light of nutritional value, safety, and functionality is fragmentary and needs to be consolidated. This review attempts to contribute to this effort by evaluating the available evidence on postharvest processes for edible insects in Africa, with the aim of identifying areas that need research impetus. It further draws attention to potential postharvest technology options for overcoming hurdles associated with utilization of insects for food and feed. A greater research thrust is needed in processing and this can build on traditional knowledge. The focus should be to establish optimal techniques that improve presentation, quality and safety of products, and open possibilities to diversify use of edible insects for other benefits.

Specific IgE and skin prick tests to diagnose allergy to fresh and baked cow's milk according to age: a systematic review. Ital J Pediatr 2017; 43:93. [PMID: 29025431 PMCID: PMC5639767 DOI: 10.1186/s13052-017-0410-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2017] [Accepted: 09/26/2017] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The diagnosis of IgE-mediated cow's milk allergy is often based on anamnesis, and on specific IgE (sIgE) levels and/or Skin Prick Tests (SPT), which have both a good sensitivity but a low specificity, often causing positive results in non-allergic subjects. Thus, oral food challenge is still the gold standard test for diagnosis, though being expensive, time-consuming and possibly at risk for severe allergic reactions. AIM The aim of the present study was to perform a systematic review of the studies that have so far analyzed the positive predictive values for sIgE and SPT in the diagnosis of allergy to fresh and baked cow's milk according to age, and to identify possible cut-offs that may be useful in clinical practice. METHODS A comprehensive search on Medline via PubMed and Scopus was performed August 2017. Studies were included if they investigated possible sIgE and/or SPT cut-off values for cow's milk allergy diagnosis in pediatric patients. The quality of the studies was evaluated according to QUADAS-2 criteria. RESULTS The search produced 471 results on Scopus, and 2233 on PubMed. Thirty-one papers were included in the review and grouped according to patients' age, allergen type and cooking degree of the milk used for the oral food challenge. In children < 2 years, CMA diagnosis seems to be highly likely when sIgE to CM extract are ≥ 5 KUA/L or when SPT with commercial extract are above 6 mm or Prick by Prick (PbP) with fresh cow's milk are above 8 mm. Any cut-offs are proposed for single cow's milk proteins and for baked milk allergy in children younger than 2 years. In Children ≥ 2 years of age it is hard to define practical cut-offs for allergy to fresh and baked cow's milk. Cut-offs identified are heterogeneous. CONCLUSIONS None of the cut-offs proposed in the literature can be used to definitely confirm cow's milk allergy diagnosis, either to fresh pasteurized or to baked milk. However, in children < 2 years, cut-offs for specific IgE or SPT seem to be more homogeneous and may be proposed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review the manufacturing procedures of food allergen extracts and applicable regulatory requirements from government agencies, potential approaches to standardization, and clinical application of these products. The effects of thermal processing on allergenicity of common food allergens are also considered. DATA SOURCES A broad literature review was conducted on the natural history of food allergy, the manufacture of allergen extracts, and the allergenicity of heated food. Regulations, guidance documents, and pharmacopoeias related to food allergen extracts from the United States and Europe were also reviewed. STUDY SELECTIONS Authoritative and peer-reviewed research articles relevant to the topic were chosen for review. Selected regulations and guidance documents are current and relevant to food allergen extracts. RESULTS Preparation of a food allergen extract may require careful selection and identification of source materials, grinding, defatting, extraction, clarification, sterilization, and product testing. Although extractions for all products licensed in the United States are performed using raw source materials, many foods are not consumed in their raw form. Heating foods may change their allergenicity, and doing so before extraction may change their allergenicity and the composition of the final product. CONCLUSION The manufacture of food allergen extracts requires many considerations to achieve the maximal quality of the final product. Allergen extracts for a select number of foods may be inconsistent between manufacturers or unreliable in a clinical setting, indicating a potential area for future improvement.
