“…Nevertheless, there are no clinical studies confirming its effective medicinal efficacy [122]. On the other hand, the rapid inclusion of cashews in dietary habits has led to an extended sensitization and allergy to this food all over the world [123][124][125][126]. Published reports reveal that cashew allergy is found to a greater extent in children [123,127] and in adult women [128].…”

Consumption of tree nuts and peanuts has considerably increased over the last decades due to their nutritional composition and the content of beneficial compounds. On the other hand, such widespread consumption worldwide has also generated a growing incidence of allergy in the sensitive population. Allergy to nuts and peanuts represents a global relevant problem, especially due to the risk of the ingestion of hidden allergens as a result of cross-contamination between production lines at industrial level occurring during food manufacturing. The present review provides insights on peanuts, almonds, and four nut allergens—namely hazelnuts, walnuts, cashew, and pistachios—that are likely to cross-contaminate different food commodities. The paper aims at covering both the biochemical aspect linked to the identified allergenic proteins for each allergen category and the different methodological approaches developed for allergens detection and identification. Attention has been also paid to mass spectrometry methods and to current efforts of the scientific community to identify a harmonized approach for allergens quantification through the detection of allergen markers.

“…With food being the main culprit in this disease, the differences in dietary habits in different races and regions of the world have influenced the list of common allergens within the particular region or race [17]. For example, the incidence of peanut allergy is not highly prevalent in the Southeast Asia population compared to Western countries, while the incidence of allergy towards cashew nuts was observed to be comparatively higher among children from the Southeast Asia region [18][19][20]. Nonetheless, the main allergens remain largely true to most parts of the world, with eggs, milk, fish, and shellfish being the top four main food allergens, while peanuts, tree nuts, soybeans and wheat are the next four items, thus completing "the big eight" common food allergens [21][22][23].…”

Food allergy in children has been a common issue due to the challenges of prescribing personalized nutrition with a lack of nutriepigenomics data. This has indeed further influenced clinical practice for appropriate management. While allergen avoidance is still the main principle in food allergy management, we require more information to advance the science behind nutrition, genes, and the immune system. Many researchers have highlighted the importance of personalized nutrition but there is a lack of data on how the decision is made. Thus, this review highlights the relationship among these key players in identifying the solution to the clinical management of food allergy with current nutriepigenomics data. The discussion integrates various inputs, including clinical assessments, biomarkers, and epigenetic information pertaining to food allergy, to curate a holistic and personalized approach to food allergy management in particular.

“…Inoue et al (2018) reported that cashew nuts are capable of causing severe allergic reaction. There has been an increasing trend of cashew nut allergies in whole world especially Singapore (Chitta et al, 2018). In a study, Van der Valk et al (2014) testified that the prevalence of cashew nut allergy is increasing day by day but the level of evidence for this is low.…”

Background: Cashew nut allergy is a significant tree nut allergy that is increasing gradually and becoming serious health issue these days. Allergens responsible for cashew nut allergy are highly potent and for some people, these reactions have the potential to be severe and even life-threatening (anaphylaxis). Increased consumption of cashew nuts and a change in eating and cooking may be responsible. It's time to spread the knowledge and awareness about cashew nut allergy among society, clinics and development of clinical confession. Scope and approach: In recent era, various researches regarding cashew nut allergy are under consideration. In this comprehensive review, investigations were carried to identify aspects of cashew nut allergy including its prevalence, characteristics, processing effects, different allergens, diagnosis and management. Key findings and conclusion: Main etiology is the utilization of minor quantity of cashew nut allergens like Ana-o-3, Ana-o-1 and Ana-o-2, proposed to be very powerful as compared to other tree nuts. Its prevalence is increasing especially in children. Several methods like oral immunotherapy, adrenaline auto-injector device and enzymatic processing are very helpful in the treatment of this emerging type of allergy. Moreover, labelling of foods products having cashew nuts plays significant role in prevention of cashew nut allergy. This information concludes that allergen of cashew nut allergy may be powerful that is chronic cause of many immune disorders.
