Abstract
Numerous studies have highlighted the potential of Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) fermentation of whey proteins for alleviating allergies. Nonetheless, the impact of LAB-derived metabolites on whey proteins antigenicity during fermentation remains uncertain. Our objective was to elucidate the impact of small molecular metabolites on the antigenicity of α-lactalbumin (α-LA) and β-lactoglobulin (β-LG). Through metabolomic analysis, we picked 13 bioactive small molecule metabolites from Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus DLPU F-36 for coincubation with α-LA and β-LG, respectively. The outcomes revealed that valine, arginine, benzoic acid, 2-keto butyric acid, and glutaric acid significantly diminished the sensitization potential of α-LA and β-LG, respectively. Moreover, chromatographic analyses unveiled the varying influence of small molecular metabolites on the structure of α-LA and β-LG, respectively. Notably, molecular docking underscored that the primary active sites of α-LA and β-LG involved in protein binding to IgE antibodies aligned with the interaction sites of small molecular metabolites. In essence, LAB-produced metabolites wield a substantial influence on the antigenic properties of whey proteins.

Abstract
The antigenicity of β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) can be influenced by pH values and reduced by epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG). However, a detailed mechanism concerning EGCG decreasing the antigenicity of β-LG at different pH levels lacks clarity. Here, we explore the inhibition mechanism of EGCG on the antigenicity of β-LG at pH 6.2, 7.4 and 8.2 using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, multi-spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and molecular simulations. The results of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and circular dichroism (CD) elucidate that the noncovalent binding of EGCG with β-LG induces variations in the secondary structure and conformations of β-LG. Moreover, EGCG inhibits the antigenicity of β-LG the most at pH 7.4 (98.30 %), followed by pH 6.2 (73.18 %) and pH 8.2 (36.24 %). The inhibitory difference is attributed to the disparity in the number of epitopes involved in the interacting regions of EGCG and β-LG. Our findings suggest that manipulating pH conditions may enhance the effectiveness of antigenic inhibitors, with the potential for further application in the food industry.

Abstract
Cow milk is a major allergenic food. The potential prevention and treatment effects of lactic acid bacteria (LAB)-fermented dairy products on allergic symptoms have garnered considerable attention. Cow milk allergy (CMA) is mainly attributed to extracellular and/or cell envelope proteolytic enzymes with hydrolysis specificity. Numerous studies have demonstrated that LAB prevents the risk of allergies by modulating the development and regulation of the host immune system. Specifically, LAB and its effectors can enhance intestinal barrier function and affect immune cells by interfering with humoral and cellular immunity. Fermentation hydrolysis of allergenic epitopes is considered the main mechanism of reducing CMA. This article reviews the linear epitopes of allergens in cow milk and the effect of LAB on these allergens and provides insight into the means of predicting allergenic epitopes by conventional laboratory analysis methods combined with molecular simulation. Although LAB can reduce CMA in several ways, the mechanism of action remains partially clarified. Therefore, this review additionally attempts to summarize the main mechanism of LAB fermentation to provide guidance for establishing an effective preventive and treatment method for CMA and serve as a reference for the screening, research, and application of LAB-based intervention.

Abstract
An IgE epitope is a part of an allergen that is capable of binding to IgE antibodies and eliciting an immune response. Identifying and characterizing human-allergy-relevant epitopes are important for diagnosis and prognosis of food allergy and development of immunotherapy treatments. This chapter describes the protocol for manual synthesis of overlapping peptides on a cellulose membrane and subsequent dot blotting of the peptides with allergic patients' IgE to map the linear IgE-binding epitopes in food allergens.

Abstract
Milk allergy is one of the most common food allergies, in which αS-casein is the major milk allergen. Under optimized conditions, mixed starter (containing Lactobacillus plantarum 7-2 and commercial starter) effectively degraded αS-casein of skimmed milk and reduced the pressure of stomach digestion. The fermented milk prepared by mixed starter was determined by ELISA, the antigenicity of αS-casein was reduced by 77.53%. Compared with the fermented milk prepared by commercial starter, label-free quantitative proteomics demonstrated that the mixed starter more efficiently degraded the epitopes of major milk allergens and influenced the digestion pattern of the fermented milk. Therefore, L. plantarum 7-2 shows positive potential in reducing the antigenicity of αS-casein and others. In addition, this study predicted that the new epitopes produced in the fermentation process could induce immunity using molecular simulation.

Abstract
Fermented dairy products (e.g., yogurt, kefir, and buttermilk) are significant in the dairy industry. They are less immunoreactive than the raw materials from which they are derived. The attractiveness of these products is based on their bioactivity and properties that induce immune or anti-inflammatory processes. In the search for new solutions, plant raw materials with beneficial effects have been combined to multiply their effects or obtain new properties. Polyphenols (e.g., flavonoids, phenolic acids, lignans, and stilbenes) are present in fruit and vegetables, but also in coffee, tea, or wine. They reduce the risk of chronic diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, or inflammation. Hence, it is becoming valuable to combine dairy proteins with polyphenols, of which epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and chlorogenic acid (CGA) show a particular predisposition to bind to milk proteins (e.g., α-lactalbumin β-lactoglobulin, αs1-casein, and κ-casein). Reducing the allergenicity of milk proteins by combining them with polyphenols is an essential issue. As potential 'metabolic prebiotics', they also contribute to stimulating the growth of beneficial bacteria and inhibiting pathogenic bacteria in the human gastrointestinal tract. In silico methods, mainly docking, assess the new structures of conjugates and the consequences of the interactions that are formed between proteins and polyphenols, as well as to predict their action in the body.

Abstract
Yogurt is a traditional fermented food that is accepted worldwide for its high palatability and various health values. The milk protein contained in yogurt exhibits different physical and biological properties from those of non-fermented milk protein due to the fermentation and manufacturing processes. These differences are suggested to affect the time it takes to digest and absorb milk protein, which in turn will influence the blood levels of amino acids and/or hormones, such as insulin, and thereby, the rate of skeletal muscle protein synthesis via the activation of intracellular signaling, such as the mTORC1 pathway. In addition, based on the relationship between gut microbiota and skeletal muscle conditions, yogurt, including lactic acid bacteria and its metabolites, has been evaluated for its role as a protein source. However, the substantial value of yogurt as a protein source and the additional health benefits on skeletal muscle are not fully understood. The purpose of this review is to summarize the research to date on the digestion and absorption characteristics of yogurt protein, its effect on skeletal muscle, and the contribution of lactic acid bacterial fermentation to these effects.

Abstract
SCOPE Currently there are no specific recommendations for the use of any particular infant formula in the prevention of cow's milk allergy (CMA). Recently, there has been an increasing interest in alternative infant formulas based on milk proteins from other sources than the cow, including milk from other mammalians such as goat, sheep, donkey, horse, and camel. Whereas these have been studied for their usability in CMA management, there are no studies of their CMA preventive capacity. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate whether camel milk can prevent CMA and vice versa. METHODS AND RESULTS The capacity of camel milk in preventing CMA and vice versa is evaluated in a well-established prophylactic Brown Norway rat model. IgG1, IgE, and IgA responses, allergy elicitation, intestinal and mLN gene expression, and protein uptake are analyzed. The study demonstrates that camel and cow's milk in general has an insignificant cross-preventive capacity. Yet, whereas cow's milk is shown to have a low transient capacity to prevent sensitization and clinically active camel milk allergy, camel milk does not show this effect for CMA. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that due to lack of cross-tolerance camel milk cannot be used for CMA prevention.

Abstract
As the main allergens in milk, whey proteins are heat-sensitive proteins and are widespread in dairy products and items in which milk proteins are involved as food additives. The present work sought to investigate the effect of heating sterilization on the allergenicity of α-lactalbumin (α-LA) and β-lactoglobulin (β-LG), the main composite and allergen in whey protein isolate (WPI), by combining molecular dynamics with experimental techniques for detecting the spatial structure and IgE binding capacity. The structure of WPI was basically destroyed at heat sterilization conditions of 95 °C for 5 min and 65 °C for 30 min by SDS-PAGE analysis and spectroscopic analysis. In addition, α-lactalbumin (α-LA) may be more sensitive to temperature, resulting in exposure to allergic epitopes and increasing the allergic potential, while the binding capacity of β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) to IgE was reduced under 65 °C for 30 min. By the radius of gyration (Rg) and root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) plots calculated in molecular dynamics simulations, α-LA was less structurally stable at 368 K, while β-LG remained stable at higher temperatures, indicating that α-LA was more thermally sensitive. In addition, we observed that the regions significantly affected by temperatures were associated with the capacity of allergic epitopes (α-LA 80-101 and β-LG 82-93, 105-121) to bind IgE through root-mean-standard fluctuation (RMSF) plots, which may influence the two major allergens. We inferred that these regions are susceptible to structural changes after sterilization, thus affecting the allergenicity of allergens.

Abstract
The Maillard reaction products (MRPs) between polydextrose (PDX), a popular polysaccharide in formula powder, and β-lactoglobulin (β-LG), a major whey protein, were studied in aggregation degree, structure, hydrophobic, antigenic and antioxidant activity changes of β-LG. Incubation of PDX and β-LG (60 ℃, 79% relative humidity) for up to 72 h yielded MRPs with increases in furosine, UV absorbance, fluorescence intensity and loss of free amino groups. High molecular weight β-LG-PDX MRPs were observed by SDS-PAGE. Circular dichroism spectroscopy revealed negligible change in β-LG secondary structure. Changes in the tertiary structure of β-LG were detected by tryptophan fluorescence spectroscopy consistent with an increase in surface hydrophobicity of heated β-LG-PDX. Antigenicity reduction of β-LG in β-LG-PDX reached its peak when heated for 24 h. After heating for 72 h, DPPH radical-scavenging activity of β-LG-PDX increased by 7.4-fold, and the ferric reducing antioxidant power reached 61.1 µmol ascorbic acid/g protein.

Abstract
In this study, through a combined simulated enzymolysis-molecular docking-molecular simulation-activity determination-action mechanism strategy, we screened a β-LG-derived peptide (VAGTWYSL) to inhibit the antigenicity of β-LG and explored its mechanism of action. Our results indicate that the inhibitory effect of the peptide on the antigenicity of β-LG is affected by different experimental conditions, including pH, reaction time and concentration. Three factors may contribute to the reduced allergenicity of β-LG. First, there must be sufficient forces between the peptide and β-LG, as a result, hydrophobic forces and hydrogen bonds are the main forces to maintain the structural stability of the complex. Second, the binding of the peptide changes the secondary structure of β-LG, especially with an increase in α-helices and a decrease in β-turns. Third, the peptide binds to the hydrophobic region of β-LG, involving the antigenic epitope region Val41-Lys60, which may reduce the antigenicity.

Abstract
Cow’s milk-based infant formulas are the most common substitute to mother’s milk in infancy when breastfeeding is impossible or insufficient, as cow’s milk is a globally available source of mammalian proteins with high nutritional value. However, cow’s milk allergy (CMA) is the most prevalent type of food allergy among infants, affecting up to 3.8% of small children. Hypoallergenic infant formulas based on hydrolysed cow’s milk proteins are commercially available for the management of CMA. Yet, there is a growing demand for more options for infant feeding, both in general but especially for the prevention and management of CMA. Milk from other mammalian sources than the cow, such as goat, sheep, camel, donkey, and horse, has received some attention in the last decade due to the different protein composition profile and protein amino acid sequences, resulting in a potentially low cross-reactivity with cow’s milk proteins. Recently, proteins from plant sources, such as potato, lentil, chickpeas, quinoa, in addition to soy and rice, have gained increased interest due to their climate friendly and vegan status as well as potential lower allergenicity. In this review, we provide an overview of current and potential future infant formulas and their relevance in CMA prevention and management.

Characterization of the molecular properties and allergenicity (IgE-binding capacity) of β-lactoglobulin by heat treatment using asymmetric-flow field-flow fractionation and ultra-performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time of flight mass chromatography.

Abstract
In this study, the heat product (90 °C, 10 min) of β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) was analyzed by asymmetric-flow field-flow fractionation (AF4) to observe the effect of heat treatment. The changes in molar mass (M) and molar size induced by heat treatment were characterized by AF4, and changes in molar shape were observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results showed that β-LG dissociated and aggregated into four fractions with different M values, sizes, and shapes after heat treatment. The vast aggregations with the highest allergenicity (IgE-binding capacity) might enhance the allergenicity of β-LG. However, the number of characterized epitope peptides was decreased due to heat treatment. The above results provide some references for related studies of β-LG and its allergenicity. Further separation and characterization of the high-allergenicity fractions and peptides will help to eliminate allergens in dairy products and reduce the occurrence of allergic reactions.

Abstract
The effects of ultrasound combined with glycation (UCG) on the allergenicity and human microbial community of β-Lg during in vitro digestion were studied by ELISA, cell experiments, and 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing. UCG modification and subsequent digestion significantly reduced allergenicity. The decrease in the allergenicity of β-Lg depended not only on the low digestibility of glycated β-Lg, which led to the decrease of some peptides with complete immunogenicity, but also the masking effect of glycation on allergen epitopes of β-Lg. Meanwhile, UCG modification and subsequent digestion could alter the structures of intestinal microbiota and the community abundance at phylum, family, and genus levels, such as Bacteroidota, Fusobacteriota, Enterobacteriaceae, Bacteroidaceae, Ruminococcaceae, Bacteroides, and Faecalibacterium. These results show that simulated in vitro digestion of modified β-Lg reduces allergenicity and alters human intestinal microbiota, which could provide a theoretical basis for studying the relationship between intestinal dysbiosis and cow's milk allergy.

Abstract
Cow milk protein is one of the leading food allergens. This study aimed to develop an effective method for reducing milk sensitization by evaluating antigenicity of fermented skim milk protein using Lactobacillus helveticus KLDS 1.8701, Lactobacillus plantarum KLDS 1.0386, and a combination of both strains. The proteolytic systems of strains in terms of genotype and phenotype are characterized by complete genome sequence, and evaluation the antigenicity of skim milk proteins was determined by ELISA and liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. Our results showed that the genomes encoded a variety of peptidase genes. For fermented skim milk, the degree of hydrolysis of the combined strains was higher than that of individual strain. Electrophoresis showed that the band color density of α-casein (α-CN) by fermentation of the combined strains was reduced when compared with control group. The fermentation process of the combined strains inhibited α-CN, β-lactoglobulin, and α-lactalbumin antigenicity by 69.13, 36.10, and 20.92, respectively. Major allergic epitopes of α-CN and β-lactoglobulin were cleaved by abundant proteases of combined strains. In all, this study showed that the fermentation process involving both L. helveticus and L. plantarum strains could reduce cow milk protein allergenicity through the combination of cell-envelope proteinase and peptidase on α-CN.

Abstract
The effect of ultrasonicated β-lactoglobulin on the allergenic potential of predominant peptide was studied in vitro digestion. Gastrointestinal (GI) digestion of ultrasonicated β-lg was fractionated into four fractions, which have different molecular weight and allergenic potentials. The lowest allergenicity of fraction was produced by ultrasonicated β-Lg after GI digestion, depending on the changes in the structure of β-Lg by ultrasonic and the promotion of its proteolysis, resulting in the production of numerous small peptides with significantly reduced IgE activity and basophil histamine release. Mass spectrometry analysis showed that ultrasonic can promote the further hydrolysis of large intermediate peptides, Y42, L54, L57/L58, L95, L104/F105, L122 were target residues that became more available to protease by the pretreatment of ultrasonic, thus have a smaller molecular weight with reduced allergenic potential. Ultrasonic processing of milk products alone could reduce the risk of an allergenic reaction in milk allergy patients to some extent.

Abstract
Acrolein induced structural changes through the cross-linking of BLG. The IgE binding capacity of BLG was reduced upon acrolein treatment. Stimulation with acrolein-treated BLG decreased RBL-2H3 cells degranulation rates. BLG-specific IgE/IgG1, histamine and mMCP-1 levels were reduced in mice model. Structural changes resulted in reduction of BLG allergenicity by lipid peroxidation.
β-lactoglobulin (BLG) is a major allergen of milk. Since lipid peroxidation such as acrolein commonly exists during milk processing, it is necessary to evaluate its influence on BLG structure and potential allergenicity. The structure of acrolein-treated BLG was detected using SDS-PAGE, fluorescence, ultraviolet spectrum (UV), circular dichroism (CD) and LC-MS-MS, and the potential allergenicity was assessed by in vitro and in vivo assays. Results showed that acrolein could cause structural changes by BLG aggregation, which decreased the IgE binding capacity. Further, the release of mediators and cytokines decreased with acrolein treatment in RBL-2H3 cells. Mice showed lower allergenicity by the levels of BLG-specific antibody and the release of histamine and mMCP-1. These results explained that acrolein-induced BLG aggregation could damage the allergic epitopes and decrease the allergenicity of BLG in milk. The study will provide a new aspect to explore the natural phenomenon of allergen changes during food processing.

Abstract
Glycation between proteins and reducing sugars is the common chemical modification in food protein, and many studies have focused on the allergenicity of the glycated protein. However, a systemic study on the allergenicity change of its digests is lacking. In this work, we explored the change rule of the digestibility and allergenicity of glycated β-Lg during in vitro gastrointestinal digestion and interpreted the mechanism using high-resolution mass spectrometry. Glycation with arabinose increased the resistance of β-Lg to digestive enzyme, with a low hydrolysis value. Indirect competitive ELISA showed that the IgG/IgE binding rates of β-Lg were reduced after glycation and further reduced after digestion, in comparison with the digests of unglycated β-Lg. There are two reasons for this phenomenon. On the one hand, 11 glycated sites were determined in the lowest allergenicity arabinose-β-Lg conjugation (Ara-β-Lg), which was distributed in the IgG and IgE linear allergic epitopes of β-Lg. On the other hand, glycation masking linear allergenic epitopes had a more significant effect on reducing allergenicity in comparison to digestive enzyme hydrolysis. These results indicated that the allergenicity of Ara-β-Lg in the human body might be lower than that of unglycated β-Lg.

Abstract
Undirected modifications between food proteins and secondary plant metabolites can occur during food processing. The results of covalent interactions can alter the functional and biological properties of the proteins. The present work studied the extent of which covalent conjugation of the bioactive metabolite benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC; a glucosinolate breakdown product) to the whey protein α-lactalbumin affects the protein’s allergenicity. Additional to the immunological analysis of native untreated and BITC-modified α-lactalbumin, the analysis of antigenic properties of proteolytically digested protein derivatives was also performed by high performance thin layer chromatography and immunostaining. As a result of the chemical modifications, structural changes in the protein molecule affected the allergenic properties. In this process, epitopes are destroyed or inactivated, but at the same time, buried epitopes can be exposed or newly formed, so that the net effect was an increase in allergenicity, in this case. Results from the tryptic hydrolysis suggest that BITC conjugation sterically hindered the cleavage sites for the enzyme, resulting in reduced digestibility and allergenicity. Residual antigenicity can be still present as short peptide fragments that provide epitopes. The desire to make food safer for allergy sufferers and to protect sensitized individuals from an allergenic reaction makes it clear that the detection of food antigens is mandatory; especially by considering protein interactions.

Abstract
Cow’s milk (CM) is an integral part of our daily diet starting in infancy and continuing throughout our lifetime. Its composition is rich in proteins with a high nutritional value, bioactive components, milk minerals including calcium, and a range of immunoactive substances. However, cow’s milk can also induce a range of immune-mediated diseases including non-IgE-mediated food allergies and IgE-mediated food allergies. Cow’s milk allergens have been identified and characterized and the most relevant ones can be assigned to both, the whey and casein fraction. For preservation a range of processing methods are applied to make cow’s milk and dairy products safe for consumers. However, these methods affect milk components and thus alter the overall immunogenic activity of cow’s milk. This review summarizes the current knowledge on cow’s milk allergens and immunoactive substances and the impact of the different processes up- or downregulating the immunogenicity of the respective proteins. It highlights the gaps of knowledge of the related disease mechanisms and the still unidentified beneficial immunomodulating compounds of cow’s milk.

Abstract
Milk serves as the sole nutrition for newborns, as well as a medium for the transfer of immunological components from the mother to the baby. This study reveals different glycoprotein profiles obtained from human, bovine, and caprine milk and their potential roles in supporting infant growth. Proteins from these three milk samples are separated and analyzed using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE). Glycosylated proteins from all samples are enriched by affinity chromatography using lectins from the seeds of Artocarpus integer before analysis using LC/MS-QTOF. The glycoproteome profiling demonstrates that glycosylated proteins are higher in caprine milk compared to other samples. Analysis using LC/MS-QTOF identified 42 O-glycosylated and 56 N-glycosylated proteins, respectively. Among those identified, human milk has 17 glycoproteins, which are both O- and N-glycosylated, whereas caprine and bovine have 10 and 1, respectively. Only glycoproteins from human milk have shown positive matching to important human biological pathways, such as vesicle-mediated transport, immune system and hemostasis pathways. Human milk remains unique for human babies with the presence of antibodies in the form of immunoglobulins that are lacking in ruminant milk proteomes.

Abstract
A new method was investigated to decline the antigenicity of β-Lactoglobulin (β-LG) by site specifically conjugating β-LG at the N-terminus with 5 kDa and 10 kDa monomethoxy polyethylene glycol propyl aldehyde (mPEG-ALD). The optimal reaction conditions were molar ratio of 1:10 (β-LG:mPEG-ALD), reaction time for 16 h, and pH 5.0, and the content of mono-PEGylated β-LG was 51.3%. The results showed that mono-PEGylated β-LG with molecular mass of 23.2 kDa and 28.5 kDa. The peptide fragments of mPEG5kDa-ALD-β-LG produced the same sequence pattern of β-LG except for the absence of one peptides f(1-14), indicating that α-amino group at the N-terminal was selectively modified. Furthermore, the conformation of modified β-LG underwent into slight change. The antigenicity of mPEG5kDa-ALD-β-LG and mPEG10kDa-ALD-β-LG decreased from 144.4 μg/mL to 66.7 and 39.0 μg/mL respectively. It was speculated that the steric hindrance effect of PEG was the main reason for the decline of antigenicity of β-LG.

Roy D, Ye A, Moughan PJ, Singh H. Composition, Structure, and Digestive Dynamics of Milk From Different Species-A Review. Front Nutr 2020; 7:577759.

Abstract
Background: The traditional dairy-cattle-based industry is becoming increasingly diversified with milk and milk products from non-cattle dairy species. The interest in non-cattle milks has increased because there have been several anecdotal reports about the nutritional benefits of these milks and reports both of individuals tolerating and digesting some non-cattle milks better than cattle milk and of certain characteristics that non-cattle milks are thought to share in common with human milk. Thus, non-cattle milks are considered to have potential applications in infant, children, and elderly nutrition for the development of specialized products with better nutritional profiles. However, there is very little scientific information and understanding about the digestion behavior of non-cattle milks. Scope and Approach: The general properties of some non-cattle milks, in comparison with human and cattle milks, particularly focusing on their protein profile, fat composition, hypoallergenic potential, and digestibility, are reviewed. The coagulation behaviors of different milks in the stomach and their impact on the rates of protein and fat digestion are reviewed in detail. Key findings and Conclusions: Milk from different species vary in composition, structure, and physicochemical properties. This may be a key factor in their different digestion behaviors. The curds formed in the stomach during the gastric digestion of some non-cattle milks are considered to be relatively softer than those formed from cattle milk, which is thought to contribute to the degree to which non-cattle milks can be easily digested or tolerated. The rates of protein and fat delivery to the small intestine are likely to be a function of the macro- and micro-structure of the curd formed in the stomach, which in turn is affected by factors such as casein composition, fat globule and casein micelle size distribution, and protein-to-fat ratio. However, as no information on the coagulation behavior of non-cattle milks in the human stomach is available, in-depth scientific studies are needed in order to understand the impact of compositional and structural differences on the digestive dynamics of milk from different species.

Abstract
β-lactoglobulin (β-Lg) was treated through different ultrasonic power and subsequently glycated with galactose to investigate its structural changes and immunological properties, and then evaluated by high-resolution mass spectrometry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and basophil histamine release test. Ultrasonication combined with glycation (UCG) modification significantly reduced the IgE/IgG-binding capacity, and the release of β-hexosaminidase, histamine and interleukin-6, accompanied with changes in the secondary and tertiary structures. The decrease in the allergenicity of β-Lg depended not only on the glycation of K47, 60, 83, 91 and 135 within the linear epitopes, but also on the denaturation of conformational epitopes, which was supported by the glycation-induced alterations of the secondary and tertiary structures. This study confirmed that UCG modification is a promising method for decreasing the allergenic potential of allergic proteins, which is likely to develop a practical technology to produce hypo-allergenic milk.

Abstract
Bovine milk is subjected to various processing steps to warrant constant quality and consumer safety. One of these steps is pasteurization, which involves the exposure of liquid milk to a high temperature for a limited amount of time. While such heating effectively ameliorates consumer safety concerns mediated by pathogenic bacteria, these conditions also have an impact on one of the main nutritional whey constituents of milk, the protein β-lactoglobulin. As a function of heating, β-lactoglobulin was shown to become increasingly prone to denaturation, aggregation, and lactose conjugation. This review discusses the implications of such heat-induced modifications on digestion and adsorption in the gastro-intestinal tract, and the responses these conformations elicit from the gastro-intestinal immune system.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to investigate the use of serine protease from Yarrowia lipolytica yeast for reduction of milk proteins allergenicity. Whey protein concentrate (WPC-80), αs-casein and their hydrolysates were analyzed for the capacity to bind IgE and IgG antibodies present in sera from patients with cow milk protein allergy using a competitive ELISA. The hydrolysis of αs-casein and whey protein concentrate contributed to a significant reduction of their immunoreactive epitopes. In case of IgE antibodies, the lowest binding capacity was detected in the 24 h hydrolysates of both proteins in which the inhibition of the reaction was ≤20 and ≤68% for αs-casein and whey protein concentrate respectively. One hour hydrolysis of WPC-80 reduced the protein antigenicity, while the longer time (5 h) might lead to the exposure of new IgE - reactive epitopes.

Abstract
Cow´s milk is one of the most important and basic nutrients introduced early in life in our diet but can induce IgE-associated allergy. IgE-associated allergy to cow´s milk can cause severe allergic manifestations in the gut, skin and even in the respiratory tract and may lead to life-threatening anaphylactic shock due to the stability of certain cow´s milk allergens. Here, we provide an overview about the allergen molecules in cow´s milk and the advantages of the molecular diagnosis of IgE sensitization to cow´s milk by serology. In addition, we review current strategies for prevention and treatment of cow´s milk allergy and discuss how they could be improved in the future by innovative molecular approaches that are based on defined recombinant allergens, recombinant hypoallergenic allergen derivatives and synthetic peptides.

Abstract
Bovine β‐lactoglobulin (BLG) is a major whey protein with unique structural characteristics: it possesses a free Cys thiol (SH) and two disulfide (SS) bonds and consists of a β‐barrel core surrounded by one long and several short α helices. Although SS‐intact conformational folding has been studied in depth, the oxidative folding pathways and accompanying SS formation/rearrangement are poorly understood. In this study, we used trans‐3,4‐dihydroxyselenolane oxide, a water‐soluble selenoxide reagent which undergoes rapid and quantitative SS formation, to determine the oxidative folding pathways of BLG variant A (BLGA) at pH 8.0 and 25 °C. This was done by characterizing two key one‐SS intermediates, a particular folding intermediate having a Cys66–Cys160 SS bond (I‐1) and a particular folding intermediate having a Cys106–Cys119 SS bond (I‐2), which have a native Cys66–Cys160 and Cys106–Cys119 SS bond, respectively. In the major folding pathway, the reduced protein (R) with abundant α helices was oxidized to I‐1, which was then transformed to I‐2 through SS rearrangement. The native protein (N) was formed by oxidation of I‐2. The redundant Cys121 thiol facilitates SS rearrangement. N is also generated from an ensemble of folding intermediates having two SS bonds (2SS) intermediates with scrambled SS bonds through SS rearrangement, but this minor pathway is deteriorative due to aggregation or overoxidation of 2SS. During oxidative folding of BLGA, α→β conformational transition occurred as previously observed in SS‐intact folding. These findings are informative not only for elucidating oxidative folding pathways of other members of the β‐lactoglobulin family, but also for understanding the roles of a redundant Cys thiol in the oxidative folding process of a protein with odd Cys residues.

Abstract
The current allergenicity assessment of novel proteins is based on the EFSA GMO guidance. Recently, EFSA launched a new guidance document on allergenicity assessment of GM plants (2017). This document describes, amongst other topics, the new scientific and regulatory developments on in vitro protein digestibility tests. The EFSA GMO Panel stated that for in vitro protein digestibility tests, additional investigations are needed before any additional recommendation in the form of guidance can be provided. To this end, an interim phase is considered necessary to evaluate the revisions to the in vitro gastrointestinal digestion test, proposed by EFSA. This prompted the establishment of a joint workshop through two COST Action networks: COST Action ImpARAS and COST Acton INFOGEST. In 2017, a workshop was organised to discuss the relevance of digestion in allergenicity risk assessment and how to potentially improve the current methods and readouts. The outcome of the workshop is that there is no rationale for a clear readout that is predictive for allergenicity and we suggest to omit the digestion test from the allergenicity assessment strategy for now, and put an effort into filling the knowledge gaps as summarized in this paper first.

Abstract
With the increased global awareness and rise in food allergies, a multifold interest in food allergens is evident. The presence of undeclared food allergens results in expensive food recalls and increased risks of anaphylaxis for the sensitive individuals. Regardless of the allergenic food, the immunogen needs to be identified and detected before making any efforts to inactivate/eliminate it. In type I food allergies, protein immunogen cross-links immunoglobulin E, leading to basophil/mast cell degranulation, resulting in the symptoms that range from mild irritation to anaphylaxis. A portion/part of the protein, known as the epitope, can interact with either antibodies to elicit allergic reactions or T-cell receptors to initiate allergic sensitization. Antibody-recognized epitopes can be either a linear sequence of amino acids (linear epitope) or a three-dimensional motif (conformational epitope), while T-cell-receptor-recognized epitopes are exclusively linear peptides. Identifying and characterizing human-allergy-relevant epitopes are important for allergy diagnosis/prognosis, immunotherapy, and developing food processing methods that can reduce/eliminate immunogencity/immunoreactivity of the allergen.

Abstract
Bovine β-lactoglobulin (β-Lg) is a major allergen existing in milk and causes about 90% of IgE-mediated cow's milk allergies. Previous studies showed that pulsed electric field (PEF) treatment could partially unfold the protein, which may contribute to the improvement of protein glycation. In this study, the effect of PEF pretreatment combined with glycation on the IgG/IgE-binding ability and the structure of β-Lg was investigated. The result showed that PEF pretreatment combined with glycation significantly reduced the IgG and IgE binding abilities, which was attributed to the changes of secondary and tertiary structure and the increase in glycation sites and degree of substitution per peptide (DSP) value determined by electron capture dissociation Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (ECD/FTICR-MS). Unexpectedly, glycation sites (K47, K91 and K135) added by two mannose molecules were identified in glycated β-Lg with PEF pretreatment. Moreover, the results indicated that PEF pretreatment at 25 kV cm-1 for 60 μs promoted the reduction of IgG/IgE-binding capacity by increasing the glycation degree of β-Lg, whereas single PEF treatment under the same conditions markedly enhanced the IgG/IgE-binding ability by partially unfolding the structure of β-Lg. The results suggested that ECD/FTICR-MS could help us to understand the mechanism of reduction in the IgG/IgE-binding of β-Lg by structural characterization at the molecular level. Therefore, PEF pretreatment combined with glycation may provide an alternative method for β-Lg desensitization.

Reducing the allergenic capacity of β-lactoglobulin by covalent conjugation with dietary polyphenols. Food Chem 2018; 256:427-434. [PMID: 29606470 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2018.02.158] [Citation(s) in RCA: 114] [Impact Index Per Article: 19.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2018] [Revised: 02/27/2018] [Accepted: 02/28/2018] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
To help produce hypoallergenic food, this study investigated reducing the allergenicity and improving the functional properties of bovine β-lactoglobulin (βLG) by covalent conjugation with (-)-epigallo-catechin 3-gallate (EGCG) and chlorogenic acid (CA). The covalent bond between the polyphenols and the amino acid side-chains in βLG was confirmed by MALDI-TOF-MS and SDS-PAGE. Structural analysis by fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism (CD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) indicated that the covalent conjugate of EGCG and CA led to the changed protein structure of βLG. Western blot analysis and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay indicated that conjugation of βLG with these polyphenols was effective in reducing the IgE-binding capacity of βLG. The conjugates maintained the retinol-binding activity without denaturation the protein and enhanced the thermal stability with high antioxidant activity. The study provides an innovative approach to producing hypoallergenic food.

Abstract
Whey proteins are globular proteins that have received much attention due to their high nutritional value and characteristic functional properties. In addition to being part of the protein system in milk, they constitute the main proteins in whey and whey protein products. Interaction of whey proteins with reducing sugars and carbohydrates via Maillard reaction have been extensively studied in milk and in model systems. Glycation of individual whey proteins results in variable increases in their solubility, thermal stability, antioxidant activity, and emulsion and foam stabilization. Limited glycation of whey protein products particularly whey protein isolates (WPI) using polysaccharides has been studied with the aim to produce conjugates with modified functional properties and acceptable sensory properties. An overview is presented here on the effect of glycation on individual whey proteins and whey protein products and the potential uses of the glycated whey proteins.

Processing Challenges and Opportunities of Camel Dairy Products. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF FOOD SCIENCE 2017; 2017:9061757. [PMID: 29109953 PMCID: PMC5646346 DOI: 10.1155/2017/9061757] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2017] [Accepted: 08/23/2017] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
A review on the challenges and opportunities of processing camel milk into dairy products is provided with an objective of exploring the challenges of processing and assessing the opportunities for developing functional products from camel milk. The gross composition of camel milk is similar to bovine milk. Nonetheless, the relative composition, distribution, and the molecular structure of the milk components are reported to be different. Consequently, manufacturing of camel dairy products such as cheese, yoghurt, or butter using the same technology as for dairy products from bovine milk can result in processing difficulties and products of inferior quality. However, scientific evidence points to the possibility of transforming camel milk into products by optimization of the processing parameters. Additionally, camel milk has traditionally been used for its medicinal values and recent scientific studies confirm that it is a rich source of bioactive, antimicrobial, and antioxidant substances. The current literature concerning product design and functional potential of camel milk is fragmented in terms of time, place, and depth of the research. Therefore, it is essential to understand the fundamental features of camel milk and initiate detailed multidisciplinary research to fully explore and utilize its functional and technological properties.
