Abstract
This study found that, after microwave treatment at 560 W for 30 s, alkaline protease enzymolysis significantly reduced the allergenicity of ovalbumin (OVA). Furthermore, specific adsorption of allergenic anti-enzyme hydrolyzed peptides in the enzymatic products by immunoglobulin G (IgG) bound to magnetic bead further decreased the allergenicity of OVA. The results indicated that microwave treatment disrupts the structure of OVA, increasing the accessibility of OVA to the alkaline protease. A comparison between 17 IgG-binding epitopes identified through high-performance liquid chromatography-higher energy collisional dissociation-tandem mass spectrometry and previously reported immunoglobulin E (IgE)-binding epitopes revealed a complete overlap in binding epitopes at amino acids (AA)125-135, AA151-158, AA357-366, and AA373-381. Additionally, partial overlap was observed at positions AA41-59, AA243-252, and AA320-340. Consequently, these binding epitopes were likely pivotal in eliciting the allergic reaction to OVA, warranting specific attention in future studies. In conclusion, microwave-assisted enzymolysis synergized with magnetic bead adsorption provides an effective method to reduce the allergenicity of OVA.

Abstract
Effective reduction of the allergenicity of instant soy milk powder (ISMP) is practically valuable for expanding its applications. This study optimized the enzymolysis technology of ISMP using single-factor experiments and response surface methodology, combined serological analysis, cellular immunological models, bioinformatics tools, and multiple spectroscopy techniques to investigate the effects of alcalase hydrolysis on allergenicity, spatial conformation, and linear epitopes of ISMP. Under the optimal process, special IgE and IgG1 binding abilities and allergenic activity to induce cell degranulation of alcalase-hydrolyzed ISMP were reduced by (64.72 ± 1.76)%, (56.79 ± 3.72)%, and (73.3 ± 1.19)%, respectively (P < 0.05). Moreover, the spatial conformation of instant soy milk powder hydrolysates (ISMPH) changed, including decreased surface hydrophobicity, a weaker peak of amide II band, lower contents of α-helix and β-sheet, and an enhanced content of random coil. Furthermore, the linear epitopes of major soy allergens, 9 from glycinin and 13 from β-conglycinin, could be directionally disrupted by alcalase hydrolysis. Overall, the structure-activity mechanism of alcalase hydrolysis to reduce ISMP allergenicity in vitro was preliminarily clarified. It provided a new research direction for the breakthrough in the desensitization of ISMP and a theoretical basis for revealing the potential mechanism of alcalase enzymolysis to reduce the allergenicity of ISMP.

Abstract
Glycinin is an important allergenic protein. A1a is the acidic chain of the G1 subunit in glycinin (G1A1a), and it has strong allergenicity. In this study, we used phage display technology to express the protein of G1A1a and its overlapping fragments and an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (iELISA) to determine the antigenicity and allergenicity of the expressed protein. After three rounds of screening, it was determined that fragment A1a-2-B-I (151SLENQLDQMPRRFYLAGNQEQEFLKYQQEQG181) is the allergenic domain of G1A1a destroyed by thermal processing. In addition, three overlapping peptides were synthesized from fragments A1a-2-B-I, and a linear epitope was found in this domain through methods including dot blot and iELISA. Peptide 2 (157DQMPRRFYLANGNQE170) showed allergenicity, and after replacing it with alanine, it was found that amino acids D157, Q158, M159, and Y164 were the key amino acids that affected its antigenicity, while Q158, M159, R162, and N168 affected allergenicity.

[PMID: 38280703 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.129695] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2023] [Revised: 01/14/2024] [Accepted: 01/21/2024] [Indexed: 01/29/2024]
Abstract
The study focused on the regulation of ovalbumin (OVA) allergenicity using pulsed electric field (PEF) technology and examined the structure-activity link. Following PEF treatment, the ability of OVA to bind to IgE and IgG1 at 6 kHz was inhibited by 30.41 %. According to the microstructure, PEF caused cracks on the OVA surface. Spectral analysis revealed a blue shift in the amide I band and a decrease in α-helix and β-sheet content indicating that the structure of OVA was unfolded. The disulfide bond conformation was transformed and the structure tended to be disordered. The increased fluorescence intensity indicated that tryptophan and tyrosine were exposed which led an increase in hydrophobicity. In addition, the results of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations confirmed that the stability of OVA was reduced after PEF, which was related to the reduction of hydrogen bonding and the sharp fluctuation of aspartic acid. Therefore, PEF treatment induced the exposure of hydrophobic amino acids and the transformation of disulfide bond configuration which in turn masked or destroyed allergenic epitopes, and ultimately inhibited OVA allergenicity. This study provided insightful information for the production of hypoallergenic eggs and promoted the use of PEF techniques in the food field.

Abstract
Soy allergens are susceptible to inducing allergic reactions in infants and young animals, which have an impact on the effective daily utilization of proteins. In this study, we used Alcalase-hydrolyzed instant soybean powder (ISP) to clarify the sensitization changes of instant soybean powder hydrolysates (ISPH), and we explored the assisted memory-enhancing effects. BALB/c mice in the ISPH group showed significant improvement in the allergy symptoms, with their allergy symptom scores decreasing to (1.57 ± 0.53) and their specific serum IgE and IgG1 binding capacity decreasing by 28.00 and 25.73% (P < 0.05), which suppressed the mast cell degranulation rate. Meanwhile, the plasma HIS and IL-4 levels decreased by 12.59 and 25.32%, and the plasma INF-γ and IL- 10 levels increased by 30.64 and 27.79%, which obviously regulated the imbalance of Th1/Th2 cells and attenuated the tissue damage (P < 0.05). Furthermore, ISPH improved behavioral characteristics, increased cholinergic system activity, reduced neuronal cell damage or apoptosis, and increased the number of Nissl bodies to help improve memory in Kunming mice (P < 0.05). In general, alcalase-hydrolyzed ISP had the dual effects of reducing allergenicity and aiding in memory improvement.
