Peanut allergy and strategies for allergenicity reduction

Abstract

Peanut allergy is a typical IgE mediated immune disease and has become a major health concern worldwide. Even a low intake of peanuts or peanut containing foods can cause severe and sometimes fatal allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Differences in the preparation of peanuts before consumption could contribute to whether an individual will eventually display an allergic reaction. Several thermal and non thermal treatments might account for this change in allergenicity due to an alteration of the allergenic proteins therein contained. Such paper will report and review the different strategies aimed to reduce peanuts allergenicity.
