The Effect of Digestion and Digestibility on Allergenicity of Food

Abstract: Food allergy prevalence numbers are still on the rise. Apart from environmental influences, dietary habits, food availability and life-style factors, medication could also play a role. For immune tolerance of food, several contributing factors ensure that dietary compounds are immunologically ignored and serve only as source for energy and nutrient supply. Functional digestion along the gastrointestinal tract is essential for the molecular breakdown and a prerequisite for appropriate uptake in the intestine. D… Show more

“…The value of this index decreased the most in the case of the second stage—the gastric passage. In the first stage, the differences between the extracts corresponded to the level of bioactive compounds ( Table 1 ), and the loss demonstrated the impact that digestion had on the stability of functionality when administered in vivo [ 32 ]. Chlorogenic acid had high stability, which reduced the effect of oral digestion, p ≤ 0.01.…”

“…This prediction is based on the classification of food allergens according to whether they only elicit local symptoms in the mouth and are then digested, or they survive gastrointestinal digestion and, via effective mucosal adsorption, lead to systemic symptoms. 166 This classification, however, is only a prediction, because cofactors like age, hormonal status, the capacity for gastric digestion, drugs, infections, menses, alcohol, and exercise may accelerate the allergen entry into the body, thereby lowering the threshold for allergic reactivity and increasing the likelihood of systemic reactions. 167 In 86 patients with food allergies, a prescription for epinephrine was taken as a measure of the clinically predicted risk for severe reactions.…”

“…It seems to be of special relevance to consider that impaired enzymatic protein digestion is associated with enhanced allergenicity of food proteins. The reason is that reduced digestive capacity results in larger protein fragments that are recognized by the cells of the immune system [ 43 ]. However, in this study, DH% is positively correlated with IgE.…”
