“…Recent studies using both model systems and animal models have shown that actinidin can play a significant role in enhancing the digestion of the other food proteins in both gastric and small intestinal systems (Kaur, Rutherfurd, Moughan, Drummond, & Boland, 2010a, 2010bRutherfurd et al, 2011), which would argue that enzyme activity survives at an appreciable level in both gastric and small intestinal systems. The effect of actinidin on digestion is the subject of Chapter 8.…”

“…21 Although some studies indicate that actinidin is susceptible to degradation upon passage through the gastrointestinal tract, 31 others showed that actinidin retains its enzymatic activity under conditions of gastric and intestinal digestion and aids in the digestion of food proteins. 32,33 In a 2012 study by Čavić et al, the proteolytical activity of actinidin, which leads to changes in the morphology and adhesion of intestinal epithelial cells, was proposed as a possible route for oral sensitization to this allergen. 34 …”

Since its first appearance on the market kiwifruit has become very popular in the human diet due to its pleasant taste, low caloric value and high content of vitamin C. However, kiwifruit allergy has become a frequent cause of type I hypersensitivity in the western society. Molecular basis for kiwifruit allergy has been ascribed to up-to-now 11 identified IgE reactive molecules. They are proteins and glycoproteins with a molecular mass between 50 and 10 kDa. The major kiwifruit allergen is a cysteine protease denoted as Act d 1, which represents 50% of the soluble protein extract. Due to a difference in the abundance of protein components and biological activity, the quality of kiwifruit extracts intended for allergy diagnosis can vary in content and amount of IgE reactive molecules. In addition, the quality of allergen extracts for allergy diagnosis depends on the fruit ripening stage and storage conditions. In terms of clinical reactivity it has become evident that kiwifruit allergy is not a homogeneous disorder. Different patterns of IgE reactivity accompany several clinical subgroups that have been identified in different geographical regions. In the last decade an enormous progress has been made in isolation and characterization of kiwifruit allergens. This paper will give an overview of the structural features of kiwifruit allergens.
