“…The clinical manifestations of food allergies range from mild gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g., vomiting and diarrhea) or skin reactions (e.g., urticaria and rashes) to severe cases involving neurological complications and potentially life-threatening effects (e.g., asthma attacks or systemic anaphylaxis) (Renz et al, 2018). Epidemiological studies have shown an increasing trend in the prevalence of food allergies over the past two to three decades, with clinical manifestations becoming more complex (Feng et al, 2023;Peters et al, 2021;Sampath et al, 2021).…”

Nowadays, the food industry is facing challenges due to the simultaneous rise in global warming, population, and food consumption. As the integration of synthetic biology and food science, novel synthetic foods have obtained high attention to address these issues. However, these novel foods may cause potential risks related to human health. Four types of novel synthetic foods, including plant‐based foods, cultured meat, fermented foods, and microalgae‐based foods, were reviewed in the study. The original food sources, consumer acceptance, advantages and disadvantages of these foods were discussed. Furthermore, potential risk factors, such as nutritional, biological, and chemical risk factors, associated with these foods were described and analyzed. Additionally, the current detection methods (e.g., enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay, biosensors, chromatography, polymerase chain reaction, isothermal amplification, and microfluidic technology) and processing technologies (e.g., microwave treatment, ohmic heating, steam explosion, high hydrostatic pressure, ultrasound, cold plasma, and supercritical carbon dioxide) were reviewed and discussed critically. Nonetheless, it is crucial to continue innovating and developing new detection and processing technologies to effectively evaluate these novel synthetic foods and ensure their safety. Finally, approaches to enhance the quality of these foods were briefly presented. It will provide insights into the development and management of novel synthetic foods for food industry.

“…Sensitization to Pru p 7, the GRP from peach, was reported as the predominant cause of severe cypress pollen-associated peach allergies in southern France [107]. Recently, a high prevalence of mango allergy was reported from a self-reported food allergy survey performed in Jiangxi (China), but no indication is available on the causative allergen(s) [108]…”

Most of the allergenic proteins from fruits identified so far belong to different families of pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins. These PR proteins have been classified in different families of structurally and functionally unrelated proteins, but the majority of all fruit allergens belong to three groups, in particular PR-5 thaumatin-like proteins (TLP), PR-10 Bet v 1-like proteins, and PR-14 non-specific lipid transfer proteins (nsTLP). Some allergenic proteins from fruits can also be found among PR-protein families of PR-2 β1,3-glucanase proteins, PR-3 chitinases I, II, IV–VII, and PR-8 chitinases III. In addition, other important fruit allergens occur in protein families unrelated to the PR-protein families, such as the profilins and the newly emerging group of gibberellin-regulated proteins (GBRP). Finally, proteins that belong to seed storage proteins from higher plants, including 2S albumins, 7S globulins (vicilin), and 11S globulins (legumin), must be retained as possible potential fruit allergens resulting from the unintended consumption of the seeds. Here, we present an overview of the structural organization, functional properties, and phylogenetical relationships among these different groups of fruit allergens, supporting the occurrence of cross-reactivity and cross-allergenicity often described between fruit allergens, and the corresponding allergens from vegetables and pollens.

“…The variation in study populations (community vs. hospital settings), diagnostic methods, and fruit allergy/hypersensitivity definition resulted in data heterogeneity. In 11 studies, banana was identified as one of the leading causes of fruit allergies [14][15][16][17][20][21][22]26,28,32,34], followed by kiwi in six studies [1,17,[20][21][22]32], and avocado [26,28,30,32,33], mango [1,6,7,9,17], pineapple [1,7,22,30,33], and tomato [15,16,21,32,33] in five studies each.…”

“…Regional variations were observed, with mango being predominantly reported in East Asia (particularly China and Taiwan) [1,6,7,9], and banana in Southeast Asia (Thailand) [14], South Asia (India) [15], and West Asia (Iran, Israel, Turkey) [16,17,20,21]. In Europe, only five studies have gathered data since 2009.…”

Fruit allergies manifest with a diverse array of clinical presentations, ranging from localized contact allergies and oral allergy syndrome to the potential for severe systemic reactions including anaphylaxis. The scope of population-level prevalence studies remains limited, largely derived from single-center or hospital-based investigations. In this comprehensive review, we conducted a systematic literature search spanning the years 2009 to 2023, with full acknowledgment of potential analytical biases, to provide a global overview of fruit allergy prevalence. The primary mechanistic underpinning of fruit allergies stems from cross-reactivity between aeroallergens and food allergens, a consequence of structurally similar epitopes—a phenomenon recognized as pollen food allergy syndrome (PFAS). In the era of molecular allergology, numerous studies have dissected allergen components with substantial clinical relevance. Within this review, we explore important allergenic molecules found in plant-based foods, scrutinize pertinent cross-reactivity patterns, and offer insights into management recommendations. Additionally, we compare guideline recommendations to enhance clinical understanding and inform decision making.
