Abstract Digestion is the key step for delivering nutrients and bioactive substances to body. The way different food components interact with each other digestive enzymes can modify digestion process affect human health. Understanding how during essential rational design of functional products. Plant polyphenols have gained much attention roles they play in However, their strong beneficial effects on health also been associated a negative impact process. Due generally low absorption phenolic...
A previous study demonstrated decreased allergenicity in vitro of some food allergens after conjugation with polyphenols. However, little is known about how polyphenol affects vivo allergenicity. We conjugated a well-known allergen, ovalbumin (OVA), quercetin (QUE) to assess the potential OVA and BALB/c mouse model. QUE could covalently conjugate changed protein structure, which might destroy and/or mask epitopes. Conjugation IgE binding properties release capacity OVA. In vivo, as compared...
Abstract With most of the plastics ever produced now being waste, slowly degrading and fragmenting in environment, microplastics (MPs) have become an emerging concern regarding their presence food influence on human health. While many studies marine ecotoxicology occurrence MPs fish shellfish exist, research other foods effect health is still early-stage, but attention increasing. This review aimed to provide relevant information possible ingested MPs, occurrence, levels contamination...
Non-immediate reactions to beta-lactam antibiotics (BL) occur more than one hour after drug administration, and the most common manifestations are maculopapular exanthemas delayed-appearing urticaria and/or angioedema. Infections can lead skin eruptions mimic hypersensitivity (DHR), if a is taken at same time. The of children labeled as 'drug allergic' considering only clinical history.To diagnose/detect or an infection which DHR in with non-immediate BL METHODS: A prospective survey was...
Scope The aim of this work was to investigate the effects high‐intensity ultrasound (sonication), on structure and allergenicity major cow's milk allergen, beta‐lactoglobulin ( BLG ). Methods results Structural changes upon sonication were monitored by circular dichroism spectroscopy, tryptophan emission fluorescence, hydrophobic dye retinol binding, as well digestibility phenol‐oxidase cross‐linking capacity. Allergenicity in individual patients’ sera, basophil activation test, skin prick...
Abstract Background Red meat allergy presents a novel form of food with severe delayed allergic reactions where IgE antibodies are directed against the carbohydrate α‐ G al epitope. Food preparation and processing can influence allergenicity proteins. The aim this study was to characterize proteomic profile different beef preparations investigate their α‐Gal reactivity potential allergenicity. Methods Extracts from raw, boiled, fried, medium rare prepared were assessed by 2 D PAGE for...
Abstract Conglutins represent the major peanut allergens and are renowned for their resistance to gastro-intestinal digestion. Our aim was characterize digestion-resistant peptides (DRPs) of conglutins by biochemical biophysical methods followed a molecular dynamics simulation in order better understand basis food protein allergenicity. We have mapped proteolysis sites at N- C-termini limited internal segment, while other potential remained unaffected. Molecular showed that only occurred...
Abstract Because it is important to develop new sustainable sources of edible protein, insects have been recommended as a protein source. This study applied Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) investigate the environmental impact small-scale insect production unit in South Korea. IMPACT 2002 + was baseline assessment (IA) methodology. The CML-IA baseline, EDIP 2003, EDP 2013, ILCD 2011 Midpoint, and ReCiPe midpoint IA methodologies were also used for LCIA methodology sensitivity analysis. fat...
Contaminating microplastics can interact with food proteins in the matrix and during digestion. This study investigated adsorption of chicken egg protein ovalbumin to polystyrene (PS, 110 260 μm) polyethylene terephthalate (PET, 140 MPs acidic neutral conditions alterations structure. Ovalbumin affinity depended on size (smaller > larger), type (PS PET) pH (pH 3 7). In bulk solution, does not change secondary structure significantly, but induces loosening (at 3) tightening 7) tertiary Formed...
Penicillins and cephalosporins are the most important betalactams inducing IgE‐mediated reactions. The safety of administering to penicillin‐allergic children is a particular problem, because cephalosporin allergenic determinants have not been properly identified. A study was undertaken evaluate frequency anaphylactic reactions penicillins their cross‐reactivity in pediatric population. prospective survey conducted group 1170 with suspected immediate allergic and/or penicillins, which were...
Crosslinking enzymes are frequently used in bioprocessing of dairy products. The aim this study was to examine the effects enzymatic crosslinking on IgE binding, allergenicity and digestion stability beta-casein (CN). beta-CN crosslinked by transglutaminase, tyrosinase, mushroom tyrosinase/caffeic acid laccase/caffeic acid. binding compared vitro CAP inhibition assay, ELISA as well ex vivo basophil activation assay. Crosslinked CNs were digested simulated gastric fluid for 15 60 min obtained...
