چکیده
Wróblewska B., Kaliszewska A. (2012): Cow’s milk proteins immunoreactivity and allergenicity in processed food. Czech J. Food Sci., 30: 211–219. The immunoreactivity and allergenicity of proteins present in processed food (UHT milk, yoghurt, hard cheese, cottage cheese, biscuit, and sausage intended for children) were determined in this study. Proteins were characterised by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. The changes in immunoreactivity were compared by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using polyclonal rabbit antibodies specific to α-lactalbumin (α-la), β-lactoglobulin (β-lg), α-, β-, and κ-casein. The allergenicity was determined with human pooled sera from CMA allergic patients by ELISA and immunoblot. The results have shown that the allergenicity of the food products is mainly correlated with bovine serum albumin (BSA), lactofferin (LF), and α-casein or the products of non-specific reactions between carbohydrate and proteins (e.g. lactosylation).

Cow’s milk allergen β-lactoglobulin immunoreactivity affected by pulsed light treatment
Cow’s milk allergy (CMA) is one of the most common food allergies especially in early childhood. One of the major allergens in cow’s milk is the beta-lactoglobulin (b-lg). High temperature processes are known to denature whey proteins causing changes in their nutritional, organoleptic or technological properties. Consequently, an important challenge is to develop non-thermal technologies which ...

Introduction Allergy to cow’s milk (CM) proteins has as major allergens caseins (60%), b-lactoglobulin (9%) and a-lactalbumin (4%). Thermal processes for milk industrialization include: pasteurization (low: 63 ° C for 30 min or High: 72 ° C for 15 seconds), UHT heating (145 ° C for 1-2s) and sterilization (115 ° C for 15 min).It’s accepted that these processes denature milk proteins in differen...

Background Food is the most frequent cause of allergy during the early childhood, and possibly the only trigger within the first two years of life. The foods commonly involved in are cow’s milk and hen’s egg. So far, strict avoidance of the responsible food in any of its forms is usually the only available treatment. Thus, obtaining new hypoallergenic foods or food ingredients derived from milk...

Milk processing technologies for the control of cow's milk protein allergens are reviewed in this paper. Cow's milk is a high nutritious food; however, it is also one of the most common food allergens. The major allergens from cow's milk have been found to be β-lactoglobulin, α-lactalbumin and caseins. Strategies for destroying or modifying these allergens to eliminate milk allergy are being so...
