Discovery based high resolution MS/MS analysis for selection of allergen markers in chocolate and broth powder matrices.
Peptide marker identification is an important step in development of a mass spectrometry method for multiple allergen detection, since specificity, robustness and sensitivity of the overall analytical method will depend on the reliability of the proteotypic peptides. As part of the development of a multi-analyte reference method, discovery analysis of two incurred food matrices has […]
Facile Preparation of Activated Carbon from Peanut Shell for Determination of Bisphenol A in Human Urine by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography.
Herein, a facile and low-cost method for the preparation of activated carbon from peanut shell was developed for the first time for the fast extraction and determination of Bisphenol A in human urine. Bisphenol A was separated by EC-C18 column (250 mm×4.6 mm, 4 μm) and was detected by VWD, with retention time for qualitative […]
Synthesis and Characterization of Activated Carbon from Biowaste-Peanut Shell and Application to Preconcentration/Removal of Uranium.
This study aims to synthesize and characterize an economical and ecological adsorbent with high adsorption capacity. For this purpose, the peanut shells (Pistacia vera L.) were modified chemically. After the synthesis of activated carbon (AC), the optimum conditions for enrichment steps were performed using parameters: pH and contact time for uranium in the model solutions. […]
Computational modelling of survival of Aspergillus flavus in peanut kernels during hot air-assisted radio frequency pasteurization.
In recent years, radio frequency (RF) heating is getting popular as an alternative pasteurization method for agricultural commodities and low moisture foods. Computer simulation is an effective way to help understand RF interactions with food components and predict temperature distributions among food samples after RF treatments. In this study, a computer model based on Joule […]
Impact of age on adherence and efficacy of peanut oral-immunotherapy using a standardized protocol.
Peanut oral immunotherapy (POIT) has been shown to be an effective therapy in peanut allergic children, as it improves food allergy-related quality of life [1-2] . Randomized controlled trials and observational, real world studies have shown that POIT may be effective and safe in children of all ages, although starting POIT at a younger age may be […]
Reduced peanut sensitization with maternal peanut consumption and early peanut introduction while breastfeeding.
New guidelines for peanut allergy prevention in high-risk infants recommend introducing peanut during infancy but do not address breastfeeding or maternal peanut consumption. We assessed the independent and combined association of these factors with peanut sensitization in the general population CHILD birth cohort (N = 2759 mother-child dyads). Mothers reported peanut consumption during pregnancy, timing […]
Food and food products associated with food allergy and food intolerance-An overview.
Immune-mediated food allergy and non-immune mediated food intolerance are categorized as the most common adverse reactions resulting from the ingestion of certain foods. As there is no standard treatment, the possible remedy to avoid exposure to these adverse reactions is adhering to a strict diet that eliminates allergic and intolerant foods. The commonly consumed foods […]
Basophil activation test shows high accuracy in the diagnosis of peanut and tree nut allergy: The Markers of Nut Allergy Study.
Background: Peanut and tree nut allergies are the most important causes of anaphylaxis. Co-reactivity to more than one nut is frequent, and co-sensitization in the absence of clinical data is often obtained. Confirmatory oral food challenges (OFCs) are inconsistently performed. Objective: To investigate the utility of the basophil activation test (BAT) in diagnosing peanut and tree nut […]
Association of Total Nut, Tree Nut, Peanut, and Peanut Butter Consumption with Cancer Incidence and Mortality: A Comprehensive Systematic Review and Dose-Response Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies.
Data on the association of nut intake with risk of cancer and its mortality are conflicting. Although previous meta-analyses summarized available findings in this regard, some limitations may distort their findings. Moreover, none of these meta-analyses examined the dose-response associations of total nut intake with the risk of specific cancers as well as associations between […]
Removal of aflatoxin B1 from contaminated peanut oils using magnetic attapulgite
The efficient magnetic adsorbent (Fe3O4@ATP) was prepared by precipitation through the dispersion of Fe3O4 nanoparticles on the natural attapulgite (ATP) and then tested as an adsorbent for aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) removal from contaminated oils. The adsorbent characterization results revealed that the Fe3O4 were incorporated into the ATP, affording the Fe3O4@ATP composite. This magnetic composite displayed […]
