AB  - Oxidative modifications of proteins are key to many applications in biotechnology. Metal-catalyzed oxidation reactions efficiently oxidize proteins but with low selectivity, and are highly dependent on the protein surface residues to direct the reaction. Herein, we demonstrate that discrete inorganic ligands such as polyoxometalates enable an efficient and selective protein oxidative cleavage. In the presence of ascorbate (1 mM), the Cu-substituted polyoxometalate K8[Cu2+(H2O)(α2-P2W17O61)], (CuIIWD, 0.05 mM) selectively cleave hen egg white lysozyme under physiological conditions (pH =7.5, 37 °C) producing only four bands in the gel electropherogram (12.7, 11, 10, and 5 kDa). Liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis reveals a regioselective cleavage in the vicinity of crystallographic CuIIWD/lysozyme interaction sites. Mechanistically, polyoxometalate is critical to position the Cu at the protein surface and limit the generation of oxidative species to the proximity of binding sites. Ultimately, this study outlines the potential of discrete, designable metal oxo clusters as catalysts for the selective modification of proteins through radical mechanisms under non-denaturing conditions.

AB  - The digestion stability of allergen pairs, tropomyosin, TM (fish and seafood allergen), and myosin light chain, MLC (chicken meat allergen) is compared among vertebrates and invertebrates in raw and cooked food matrix under standardized simulated in vitro gastrointestinal (GI) digestion. SDS-PAGE followed by multiple TM and MLC-specific antibodies in semidry WB revealed pepsin resistance of invertebrate TMs (abalone, oyster, shrimp) under diet-relevant conditions (raw, cooked). Vertebrate TMs (chicken, pork, beef) were less stable to digestion except that the raw chicken TM was observed pepsin resistant (not diet-relevant). Vertebrate (chicken) MLC was thermally stable. A new 28 kDa protein bound to anti-MLC antibody in cooked chicken and pork; could be the aggregates of MLC. Raw shrimp MLC showed pepsin resistance among invertebrates. A good correlation was observed between combined resistance of TM and MLC to GI digestion following the diet-relevant thermal treatment and reported protein allergenicity among vertebrates and invertebrates.

AB  - Key determinants for the development of an allergic response to an otherwise ‘harmless’ food protein involve different factors like the predisposition of the individual, the timing, the dose, the route of exposure, the intrinsic properties of the allergen, the food matrix (e.g. lipids) and the allergen modification by food processing. Various physicochemical parameters can have an impact on the allergenicity of animal proteins. Following our previous review on how physicochemical parameters shape plant protein allergenicity, the same analysis was proceeded here for animal allergens.

AB  - An electrochemical approach is presented based on multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and neodymium(III) hydroxide (Nd(OH)3) nanoflakes for detection of bovine serum albumin (BSA). The materials were characterized morphologically (XRPD, SEM, and HR-TEM) and electrochemically (DPV, EIS). The MWCNTs@Nd(OH)3 composite was used as support for bovine serum albumin polyclonal antibody (anti-BSA). After the antibody immobilization on the electrochemical platform and antigen/antibody binding time (optimum 60 min), the proposed approach shows a linear voltammetric response toward BSA concentration in the range 0.066 to 6.010 ng mL−1 at maximum peak potential of 0.13 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). Limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were 18 pg mL−1 and 61 pg mL−1, respectively. The precision of the method calculated as relative standard deviation (RSD) of five independent measurements was better 3%. The selectivity of the optimized method regarding structurally similar proteins (human serum albumin and human hemoglobin), ions (Na+, K+, Ca2+, and NO2−), or compounds (glucose, ascorbic acid, dopamine, uric acid, paracetamol, and glycine) was found to be satisfactory, with the current changes of less than 5% in the presence of up to 1 × 105 times higher concentrations (depending on the compound) of the listed potential interfering compounds. Practical applicability of immunosensor for BSA determination in cow whey sample, with recovery values in the range 97 to 103%, shows that the developed method has high potential for precise and accurate detection of BSA, as well as exceptional miniaturization possibilities for on-site and equipment-free sensing.

abstract = "An electrochemical approach is presented based on multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and neodymium(III) hydroxide (Nd(OH)3) nanoflakes for detection of bovine serum albumin (BSA). The materials were characterized morphologically (XRPD, SEM, and HR-TEM) and electrochemically (DPV, EIS). The MWCNTs@Nd(OH)3 composite was used as support for bovine serum albumin polyclonal antibody (anti-BSA). After the antibody immobilization on the electrochemical platform and antigen/antibody binding time (optimum 60 min), the proposed approach shows a linear voltammetric response toward BSA concentration in the range 0.066 to 6.010 ng mL−1 at maximum peak potential of 0.13 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). Limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were 18 pg mL−1 and 61 pg mL−1, respectively. The precision of the method calculated as relative standard deviation (RSD) of five independent measurements was better 3%. The selectivity of the optimized method regarding structurally similar proteins (human serum albumin and human hemoglobin), ions (Na+, K+, Ca2+, and NO2−), or compounds (glucose, ascorbic acid, dopamine, uric acid, paracetamol, and glycine) was found to be satisfactory, with the current changes of less than 5% in the presence of up to 1 × 105 times higher concentrations (depending on the compound) of the listed potential interfering compounds.

AB  - Нови корона вирус (SARS CoV-2) је нови инфективни агенс за хуману популацију и веома је брзо детектован у великом броју земаља. Брзо ширење, одсуство имунитета на овај вирус и одсуство поузданих тестова за детекцију вируса у тренутку избијања пандемије су болест изазвану овим вирусом брзо претворили у здравствени и друштвени проблем највишег приоритета на глобалном нивоу. Иако су највеће биотехнолошке компаније убрзано почеле са развојем и масовном производњом дијагностичких тестова и вакцина, њихова доступност у тренуцима највеће потражње је и даље недовољна, а цене истих су лимитирајући фактор за бољу контролу болести и ширења пандемије. Тестови имају и своја ограничења, посебно када су у питању антигенски тестови, тако да се и даље ради на унапређењу осетљивости истих. У фокусу наших истраживања је развој дијагностичких и серолошких тестова за COVID-19. Дијагностички тестови детектују делове вируса: генетског материјала вируса , односно протеинске компоненте вируса. Серолошки тестови који детектују присуство антитела на протеине вируса. Важна компенента ових тестова је рекомбинанто произведен протеин. Истраживачки тим Хемијског факултета је до сада произвео рекомбинантне протеине шиљка и нуклеокапсида за потребе развоја серолошког теста и N протеин високе чистоће на великој скали за потребе добијања специфичких антитела и развоја антигенског теста. Добијена високо специфична поликлонска антитела на N протеин вируса из имунизованих животиња, биће употребљена за дизајн основног сендвич ЕЛИСА теста за детекцију SARS CoV-2 вируса на бази препознавања N-протеина вируса.  Oчекује се даље унапређење осетљивости теста применом различитих техника, као што су имобилисана специфична антитела на принципу имуноафинитетног ЕЛИСА теста што ће омогућити хватање вирусних антигена у хуманим телесним течностима попут крви, урина и пљувачке, и њихово даље концентрисање, што са једне стране повећава могућност за тачан резултат а са друге стране шири репертоар врсте узорака.

AB  - : Post-translational modifications (PTMs) are covalent changes occurring on amino acid side
chains of proteins and yet are neglected structural and functional aspects of protein architecture. The
objective was to detect differences in PTM profiles that take place after roasting using open PTM
search. We conducted a bottom-up proteomic study to investigate the impact of peanut roasting on
readily soluble allergens and their PTM profiles. Proteomic PTM profiling of certain modifications
was confirmed by Western blotting with a series of PTM-specific antibodies. In addition to inducing
protein aggregation and denaturation, roasting may facilitate change in their PTM pattern and relative
profiling. We have shown that Ara h 1 is the most modified major allergen in both samples in terms
of modification versatility and extent. The most frequent PTM was methionine oxidation, especially
in roasted samples. PTMs uniquely found in roasted samples were hydroxylation (Trp), formylation
(Arg/Lys), and oxidation or hydroxylation (Asn). Raw and roasted peanut extracts did not differ
in the binding of IgE from the serum of peanut-sensitised individuals done by ELISA. This study
provides a better understanding of how roasting impacts the PTM profile of major peanut allergens
and provides a good foundation for further exploration of PTMs

AB  - Environmental monitoring of microplastics (MP) contamination has become an area of great research interest, given potential hazards associated with human ingestion of MP. In this context, determination of MP concentration is essential. However, cheap, rapid, and accurate quantification of MP remains a challenge to this date. This study proposes a deep learning-based image segmentation method that properly distinguishes fluorescent MP from other elements in a given microscopy image. A total of nine different deep learning models, six of which are based on U-Net, were investigated. These models were trained using at least 20,000 patches sampled from 99 fluorescence microscopy images of MP and their corresponding binary masks. MP-Net, which is derived from U-Net, was found to be the best performing model, exhibiting the highest mean F1-score (0.736) and mean IoU value (0.617). Test-time augmentation (using brightness, contrast, and HSV) was applied to MP-Net for robust learning. However, compared to the results obtained without augmentation, no clear improvement in predictive performance could be observed. Recovery assessment for both spiked and real images showed that, compared to already existing tools for MP quantification, the MP quantities predicted by MP-Net are those closest to the ground truth. This observation suggests that MP-Net allows creating masks that more accurately reflect the quantitative presence of fluorescent MP in microscopy images. Finally, MAP (Microplastics Annotation Package) is introduced, an integrated software environment for automated MP quantification, offering support for MP-Net, already existing MP analysis tools like MP-VAT, manual annotation, and model fine-tuning.

AB  - RT-PCR remains the primary method of diagnosing SARS-CoV-2. Serological diagnosis of COVID-19 is simple and does not require complex techniques and equipment, rendering it suitable for rapid detection and massive screening. However, serological tests cannot confirm SARS-CoV-2, and results will be false negative when antibody concentrations fall below detection limit. Serological testing is important method for diagnosis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2) infection. Antigen-based tests show high specificity, but sensitivity is relatively low. For development and further improvement of both serological and antigen-based tests, availability of recombinantly producted SARS CoV-2 antigens is needed and during the periods of high demend in the pandemic, it was a limited factor both for research and diagnostic tests production by national producers of tests. Nucleocapsid (N) protein is the most abundant virus derived protein and strong immunogen. We aimed to find its efficient, low-cost production. SARS-CoV-2 recombinant fragment of nucleocapsid protein (rfNP; 58-419 aa) was expressed in E. coli in soluble form, purified and characterized biochemically and immunologically. Purified rfNP has secondary structure of full-length recombinant N protein, with high percentage of disordered structure (34.2%) and of beta-sheet (40.7%). rfNP was tested in immunoblot using sera of COVID-19 convalescent patients. Cost-effective approach for soluble recombinant N protein fragment production was developed, with reliable IgG and IgM antibodies detection of SARS-CoV-2 infection. ELISA was optimized with sera of RT-PCR confirmed positive symptomatic patients and healthy individuals. IgG detection sensitivity was 96% (47/50) and specificity 97% (67/68), while IgM detection was slightly lower (94% and 96.5%, respectively). Application of serological ELISA for seropositivity detection in 200 allergic children in comparison to non-allergic did not show a bias towards any of the tested groups.  Furthermore, we have optimized production of rfNP at a large scale to raise specific antibodies to N-protein in rabbit and mice and develop an in house ELISA for quantification of N protein in biological fluids. Test was clinically validated in 200 PCR positive patients and showed a sensitivity of around 50%.

IgG detection sensitivity was 96% (47/50) and specificity 97% (67/68), while IgM detection was slightly lower (94% and 96.5%, respectively). Application of serological ELISA for seropositivity detection in 200 allergic children in comparison to non-allergic did not show a bias towards any of the tested groups.  Furthermore, we have optimized production of rfNP at a large scale to raise specific antibodies to N-protein in rabbit and mice and develop an in house ELISA for quantification of N protein in biological fluids. Test was clinically validated in 200 PCR positive patients and showed a sensitivity of around 50%.",

AB  - The accurate diagnosis of people with suspected infection with the SARS-CoV-2 is
essential to curb the global spread of COVID-19. The presence of SARS-CoV-2 can be
detected by RT-PCR (it detects RNA of the virus) or by the presence of viral antigens in
biological fluids in ELISA or similar techniques using antibodies developed in animals.
The aim of the study was the establishment of a quantitative polyclonal sera-based test for
routine measurement of the concentration of SARS CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein using
absorbance measurement in a standard 96-well microtiter plate. For the purposes of the test
development, recombinant N protein was produced and used for the production of mice
and rabbit antisera. Produced antisera were purified and titer was determined. High-affinity
polyclonal N-protein specific antisera were used for N-protein specific ELISA test
development. The test is based on mice polyclonal sera adhered to microtiter plate bottom
for the capture of the N protein from the specimen. Various concentrations of the
recombinant N-protein were used to generate a standard curve for protein quantification.
The N-protein bound to the mice antibodies was detected with rabbit polyclonal sera and
anti-rabbit antibody coupled to an enzyme that provides spectrophotometric measurement.
We have successfully developed the prototype ELISA for the quantification of N-protein
with the detection limit being in the range of ng/mL. The average LOD value for the
prototype ELISA was determined to be 9.2 ng/mL, while the average LOQ value was
10.2 ng/mL. We have demonstrated that produced polyclonal antisera are suitable for the
detection of N-protein with affinity and specificity similar to, or better than commercial
antibodies. Furthermore, the prototype ELISA can be used with satisfactory confidence for
quantification of the N-protein in protein-rich samples, similar to human sera.

AB  - β-lactoglobulin (BLG) is a major whey protein with numerous techno-functional properties desirable for the food industry. Phycocyanobilin (PCB), a bioactive pigment of Arthrospira platensis with health-promoting effects, covalently binds to BLG at physiological pH. This study investigated the effects of this covalent modification on BLG functional properties. The BLG–PCB adduct possesses enhanced antioxidant properties, and bound PCB protects BLG against free radical-induced oxidation. Despite the similar thermal stabilities of BLG and BLG–PCB, BLG–PCB is less susceptible to covalent and noncovalent aggregation under moderate heat treatment (63 °C, 30 min). Blocked thiol group and reduced hydrophobicity due to hindering of hydrophobic residues by bound PCB, as well as the heat-induced transition of β-sheet to α-helix, contributed to the low susceptibility of BLG–PCB to aggregation. BLG–PCB has a higher resistance to pepsin and pancreatin digestion than BLG and unaltered IgE-binding properties. The improved functional properties of BLG–PCB make it a useful ingredient in the food industry.

The improved functional properties of BLG–PCB make it a useful ingredient in the food industry.",

AB  - This study aimed to characterise the stability of R-phycoerythrin (R-PE), a vivid natural colourant with emerging
potential for application in the food industry. High-quality (A560/A280 ≥ 5), native (α-helix content 75%) R-PE
was purified from commercial dried Nori (Porphyra sp.) flakes. Thermal unfolding revealed two transitions (at 56
and 72 ◦C), ascribed to different protein subunits. Contrary to elevated temperature, high-pressure (HP) treatment showed significant advantages: The R-PE unfolding was partly reversible and the colour bleaching was
minimal. Binding of Cu2+ (6.3 × 105 M− 1
) and Zn2+ (1.7 × 103 M− 1
) influenced conformational changes in the
protein tetrapyrrole chromophore without affecting R-PE structure and stability (colour). The results give new
insights into the stability of R-PE suggesting its usefulness for the replacement of toxic synthetic dyes. Preservation of the red colour of R-PE could be considered in fortified food and beverages by HP processing. R-PE may
act as a biosensor for Cu2+ in aquatic systems.

AB  - The emergence of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has attracted attention of the whole scientific community. The SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein plays the most important role in viral attachment to host receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), via the receptor-binding domain (RBD), fusion and entry into the host, and it serves as a target for the development of antibodies, entry inhibitors and vaccines. It has been demonstrated that phycocyanobilin (PCB), a bioactive open-chain tetrapyrrole chromophore of phycocyanin (PC), chromoprotein derived from the cyanobacterium Arthrospira platensis, can bind a plethora of different proteins, both in a noncovalent and covalent manner. This study aimed to investigate interactions of PCB with S protein and RBD respectively. Electrophoretic techniques, fluorescence spectroscopy, and inhibition of S–PCB and RBD–PCB covalent adduct formation using iodoacetamide and N-ethylmaleimide, were employed to examine interactions of PCB with S protein and RBD, while the effects of PCB binding on RBD structure were studied by CD spectroscopy. SDS-PAGE with Zn2+ staining has revealed that PCB covalently binds to both S protein and RBD, via free cysteine residues. Binding constants determined by the fluorescence quenching method were: 2.1×107 M–1 for PCB and S protein and 8.4×104 M–1 for PCB and RBD. Far-UV circular dichroism spectra showed that the binding of PCB influences RBD structure by decreasing the disordered structure content. Due to moderately strong noncovalent interactions of PCB with S protein and RBD, as well as covalent adducts formation, it may exert one of its many bioactive effects via impact on S protein binding to ACE2 receptor.

AB  - The accumulation of microplastics in marine organisms is an emerging concern. Due to trophic transfer, the
safety of seafood is under investigation in view of the potential negative effects of microplastics on human health.
In this study, market samples of Manila clams (Ruditapes philippinarum) from South Korea were segregated into
two groups of considerably different size (p < 0.05), namely small clams with shell length of 40.69 ± 3.97 mm,
and large clams of shell length 51.19 ± 2.86 mm. Comparative profiling of the number, size, shape, and polymer
type of microplastics were performed using μFTIR imaging and Nile red staining. Overall, μFTIR detected only
1559 microplastics while 1996 microplastics were counted based on staining from 61 Manila clams (30 small and
31 large), leading to an overestimation of 18 to 75 %. Comparable microplastics concentration, based on μFTIR,
were observed at 2.70 ± 1.66 MP/g or 15.64 ± 9.25 MP/individual for the small samples, and 3.65 ± 1.59 MP/g
or 41.63 ± 16.90 MP/individual for the large ones (p > 0.05). Particle diameters of 20–100 μm was the most
dominant, accounting for 44.6 % and 46.5 % of all microplastics from the small and large groups, respectively.
Particles, with a circularity (resemblance to a circle) value between 0.6 and 1.0, were the most prevalent, fol-
lowed by fragments and fibers. At least 50 % of microplastics from the small and large samples were polystyrene,
making it the most abundant polymer type. Despite the substantial difference in the size of the animals, only a
weak to moderate correlation was observed between microplastics content and the physical attributes of the
clams such as shell length and weight, (soft) tissue weight, and total weight (Spearman's coefficient < 0.5). The
estimated intake of microplastics by the Korean population was 1232 MP/person/year via small clams, 1663 MP/
person/year via large clams, and 1489 MP/person/year via clams independent of size.

AB  - Post-translational modifications (PTMs) are covalent changes occurring on amino acid side chains of proteins and yet are neglected structural and functional aspects of protein architecture. The objective was to detect differences in PTM profiles that take place after roasting using open PTM search. We conducted a bottom-up proteomic study to investigate the impact of peanut roasting on readily soluble allergens and their PTM profiles. Proteomic PTM profiling of certain modifications was confirmed by Western blotting with a series of PTM-specific antibodies. In addition to inducing protein aggregation and denaturation, roasting may facilitate change in their PTM pattern and relative profiling. We have shown that Ara h 1 is the most modified major allergen in both samples in terms of modification versatility and extent. The most frequent PTM was methionine oxidation, especially in roasted samples. PTMs uniquely found in roasted samples were hydroxylation (Trp), formylation (Arg/Lys), and oxidation or hydroxylation (Asn). Raw and roasted peanut extracts did not differ in the binding of IgE from the serum of peanut-sensitised individuals done by ELISA. This study provides a better understanding of how roasting impacts the PTM profile of major peanut allergens and provides a good foundation for further exploration of PTMs.

AB  - Background: The world’s production of whey is estimated to be more than 200 milliontons per year. Although whey is an important source of proteins with high nutritional value andbiotechnological importance, it is still considered as a by-product of the dairy industry with loweconomic value due to low industrial exploitation. There are several challenges in the separation ofwhey proteins: low concentration, the complexity of the material and similar properties (pI, molecularmass) of some proteins.Methods: A narrative review of all the relevant papers on the present methodologies based on ionexchange and adsorption principles for isolation of whey proteins, known to the authors, was conductedResults: Traditional ion exchange techniques are widely used for the separation and purification ofthe bovine whey proteins. These methodologies, based on the anion or cation chromatographicprocedures, as well as the combination of aforementioned techniques are still preferential methodsfor the isolation of the whey proteins on the laboratory scale. However, more recent research on ionexchange membranes for this purpose has been introduced, with promising potential to be appliedon the pilot industrial scale. Newly developed methodologies based either on the ion exchangeseparation (for example: simulated moving bed chromatography, expanded bed adsorption, magneticion exchangers, etc.) or adsorption (for example: adsorption on hydroxyapatite or activatedcarbon, or molecular imprinting) are promising approaches for scaling up of the whey proteins’purification processes.Conclusion: Many procedures based on ion exchange are successfully implemented for the separationand purification of whey proteins, providing protein preparations of moderate-to-high yieldand satisfactory purity. However, the authors anticipate further development of adsorption-basedmethodologies for the separation of whey proteins by targeting the differences in proteins’ structuresrather than targeting the differences in molecular masses and pI. The complex composite multilayeredmatrices, including also inorganic components, are promising materials for simultaneousexploiting of the differences in the masses, pI and structures of whey proteins for the separation.

AB  - The high content of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and proteins makes red algae Porphyra sp. (Nori) superfood with exceptional health-promoting benefits. Its intense colour originates from R-phycoerythrin (R-PE), phycobiliprotein containing covalently attached tetrapyrrole chromophores: red phycoerythrobilin and orange phycourobilin. The present study aims to characterize the stability of R-PE, a natural colourant with a high potential for application in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. We purified R-PE from dried Nori flakes with a high purity ratio (A560 /A280 ≥5). Far-UV CD spectroscopic showed that α-helix is the dominant secondary structure (75%). The thermal unfolding of α-helix revealed two transitions (Tm1 and Tm2 at 56 and 72°C, respectively), ascribed to the different subunits of R-PE. Absorption measurements showed that high pressure (HP) induces dissociation of R-PE into subunits followed by subunit unfolding. Contrary to temperature, HP treatment showed a significant advantage under applied conditions: the protein unfolding is partly reversible, and the R-PE colour bleaching is minimized. Based on the fluorescence quenching approach, R-PE's binding affinities for Cu2+ and Zn2+ ions were 6.27x105 and 1.71x103 M-1, respectively. Absorption and near-UV/VIS CD spectroscopy suggested conformational changes in protein chromophores upon metal ions binding. Far-UV CD spectroscopy did not reveal that metal binding affects R-PE structure. The obtained results give new insights into the stability of R-PE with a good use-value in replacement of toxic synthetic dyes, preservation of R-PE red colour in fortified food and beverages by HP processing, and as a biosensor for Cu2+ in aquatic life systems.

AB  - With most of the plastics ever produced now being waste, slowly degrading and fragmenting in the environment, microplastics (MPs) have become an emerging concern regarding their presence in food and influence on human health. While many studies on marine ecotoxicology and the occurrence of MPs in fish and shellfish exist, research on the occurrence of MPs in other foods and their effect on human health is still in early-stage, but the attention is increasing. This review aimed to provide relevant information on the possible health effect of ingested MPs, the occurrence, and levels of MPs contamination in various foods and estimated exposure to MPs through food. Potential toxic consequences from exposure to MPs through food can arise from MPs themselves, diffused monomers and additives but also from sorbed contaminants or microorganisms that colonise MPs. Recent publications have confirmed widespread contamination of our food with MPs including basic and life-essential constituents such as water and salt providing the basis for chronic exposure. Available exposure assessments indicate that we ingest up to several hundred thousand MPs particles yearly.

AB  - Most of the food allergens sensitized via the gastrointestinal tract resist thermal treatments and digestion, particularly digestion by pepsin. Roasted hazelnuts are more commonly consumed than raw ones. Since no studies have characterized gastric digestion protein fragments of raw and roasted hazelnuts nor their IgE binding properties, we compared these aspects of raw and roasted hazelnuts’ gastric digesta obtained by INFOGEST protocol. Their electrophoretically resolved profiles were probed with hazelnut allergic patients’ sera in 1D and 2D immunoblots. Electrophoretic profiles demonstrated pepsin digestion of all hazelnut allergens to varying extents. While 2D immunoblots indicated that roasting slightly reduced allergenicity, IgE ELISA with the pool of sera showed a slight significant (10%) increase in IgE binding in both gastric digesta. Cor a 9 isolated from the raw and roasted hazelnuts, characterized by far and near CD, remained stable after roasting, with preserved IgE reactivity. Its immunoreactivity contribution by inhibitory ELISA was noticeable in raw and roasted hazelnut digesta; its activity was slightly stronger in the roasted preparations. Roasting has a visible impact on proteins; however, it did not affect overall IgE reactivity. Gastric digestion slightly increases the overall IgE reactivity in raw and roasted hazelnuts, and may therefore impact the profiles of allergens and their fragments available to interact with the immune system in the small intestine. © 2022 by the authors.

AB  - Most of the food allergens sensitized via the gastrointestinal tract resist thermal treatments and digestion, particularly digestion by pepsin. Roasted hazelnuts are more commonly consumed than raw ones. Since no studies have characterized gastric digestion protein fragments of raw and roasted hazelnuts nor their IgE binding properties, we compared these aspects of raw and roasted hazelnuts’ gastric digesta obtained by INFOGEST protocol. Their electrophoretically resolved profiles were probed with hazelnut allergic patients’ sera in 1D and 2D immunoblots. Electrophoretic profiles demonstrated pepsin digestion of all hazelnut allergens to varying extents. While 2D immunoblots indicated that roasting slightly reduced allergenicity, IgE ELISA with the pool of sera showed a slight significant (10%) increase in IgE binding in both gastric digesta. Cor a 9 isolated from the raw and roasted hazelnuts, characterized by far and near CD, remained stable after roasting, with preserved IgE reactivity. Its immunoreactivity contribution by inhibitory ELISA was noticeable in raw and roasted hazelnut digesta; its activity was slightly stronger in the roasted preparations. Roasting has a visible impact on proteins; however, it did not affect overall IgE reactivity. Gastric digestion slightly increases the overall IgE reactivity in raw and roasted hazelnuts, and may therefore impact the profiles of allergens and their fragments available to interact with the immune system in the small intestine. © 2022 by the authors.

AB  - Current approaches based on electrophoretic, chromatographic or immunochemical principles have allowed characterizing multiple allergens, mapping their epitopes, studying their mechanisms of action, developing detection and diagnostic methods and therapeutic strategies for the food and pharmaceutical industry. However, some of the common structural features related to the allergenic potential of food proteins remain unknown, or the pathological mechanism of food allergy is not yet fully understood. In addition, it is also necessary to evaluate new allergens from novel protein sources that may pose a new risk for consumers. Technological development has allowed the expansion of advanced technologies for which their whole potential has not been entirely exploited and could provide novel contributions to still unexplored molecular traits underlying both the structure of food allergens and the mechanisms through which they sensitize or elicit adverse responses in human subjects, as well as improving analytical techniques for their detection. This review presents cutting-edge instrumental techniques recently applied when studying structural and functional aspects of proteins, mechanism of action and interaction between biomolecules. We also exemplify their role in the food allergy research and discuss their new possible applications in several areas of the food allergy field.
