High-resolution mass spectrometry-based selection of peanut peptide biomarkers considering food processing and market type variation.
To protect allergic patients and guarantee correct food labeling, robust, specific and sensitive detection methods are urgently needed. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based methods could overcome the limitations of current detection techniques. The first step in the development of an MS-based method is the identification of biomarkers, which are, in the case of food allergens, peptides. Here, […]
A cashew specific monoclonal antibody recognizing the small subunit of Ana o 3.
Food allergies represent a substantial medical liability and preventing accidental exposure to food allergens requires constant attention. Allergic reaction to cashew nuts is frequently serious, and the small 2S albumin, Ana o 3, is an immuno-dominant cashew allergen. Ana o 3 is composed of five alpha helices, contains 2 subunits linked by cysteine disulfide bonds, and remains soluble even […]
Oral Immunotherapy for Multiple Foods in a Pediatric Allergy Clinic Setting.
BACKGROUND: The rising incidence of pediatric food allergy results in significant health care burden and family stress. Oral immunotherapy (OIT) has been shown to induce tolerance to peanut, milk and egg. OIT for other foods, particularly multiple foods simultaneously, has not been thoroughly studied. OBJECTIVE: To summarize our experience with OIT for multiple foods in […]
Emigration Effects Induced by Radio Frequency Treatment to Dates Infested by Carpophilus hemipterus.
The dried fruit beetle (Carpophilus hemipterus) is considered a key pest of dates, infesting fruits both in the field and during storage. Control measures against the species rely on the use of chemicals or heat treatments based on sunlight, hot air or radio frequency (RF) applications. Previous investigations that have aimed to define control procedures for a total […]
Molecular Characterisation of Aflatoxigenic and Non-Aflatoxigenic Strains of Aspergillus Section Flavi Isolated from Imported Peanuts along the Supply Chain in Malaysia.
Peanuts are widely consumed in many local dishes in Southeast Asian countries, especially in Malaysia which is one of the major peanut-importing countries in this region. Therefore, Aspergillus spp. and aflatoxin contamination in peanuts during storage are becoming major concerns due to the tropical weather in this region that favours the growth of aflatoxigenic fungi. The present study thus aimed […]
Marker-assisted backcrossing to improve seed oleic acid content in four elite and popular peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) cultivars with high oil content.
High oleic acid composition is an important determinant of seed quality in peanut (Arachis hypogaea) in regard to its nutritional benefits for human health and prolonged shelf-life for peanut products. To improve the oleic acid content of popular peanut cultivars in China, four peanut cultivars of different market types were hybridized with high-oleic-acid donors and backcrossed […]
