This article reviews recent data on the stability of cow's milk, hen's egg, fish, crustaceae, and meat allergens during food processing. Generally, allergens of food origin are stable and highly potent. Most severe allergic reactions, including fatal events, can be due to ingestion of cow's milk, hen's egg, fish, and shrimp. The allergenicity could be altered potentially by various procedures s...

Introduction Genetically modified (GM) foodstuffs entered the global food system in the early to mid-1990s and are now in a wide selection of raw and processed foods. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has indicated that up to 70% of processed foods could contain GM ingredients if highly processed ingredients are considered. This rapid introduction of GM foods has been marked by two div...

BACKGROUND Telomere length reflects biological aging and may be influenced by environmental factors, including those that affect inflammatory processes. OBJECTIVE With data from 840 white, black, and Hispanic adults from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis, we studied cross-sectional associations between telomere length and dietary patterns and foods and beverages that were associated w...

The prevalence of atopic dermatitis (AD) in school-age children has increased in industrialized countries. As diet is one of the main factors provoking AD, some studies have suggested that food additives in processed foods could function as pseudoallergens, which comprise the non-immunoglobulin E-mediated reaction. Eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) is an eosinophil granule protein released duri...

A simple method using HPLC and LC-MS/MS was developed for the determination of ultra-high-intensity sweetener, advantame, in processed foods. Advantame was extracted by dialysis, and cleaned up on a Sep-Pak Plus C18 cartridge, then determined by HPLC and LC-MS/MS. The recoveries from 5 kinds of processed foods fortified at the levels of 0.001 g/kg and 0.01 g/kg were 64.1-89.9% (RSD 0.9-6.9%) by...
