[PMID: 38531299 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139058] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2024] [Revised: 03/14/2024] [Accepted: 03/15/2024] [Indexed: 03/28/2024]
Abstract
Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is a valuable oilseed crop with numerous nutritional benefits containing a diverse range of bioactive compounds. However, sesame is also considered an allergenic food that triggers various mild to severe adverse reactions (e.g., anaphylaxis). Strict dietary avoidance of sesame components is the best option to protect the sensitized consumers. Sesame or sesame-derived foods are always consumed after certain food processing operations, which would cause a considerable impact on the structure of sesame proteins, changing their sensitization capacity and detectability. In the review, the molecular structure properties, and immunological characteristics of the sesame allergens were described. Meanwhile, the influence of food processing techniques on sesame proteins and the relevant detection techniques used for the sesame allergens quantification are also emphasized critically. Hopefully, this review could provide valuable insight into the development and management for the new "Big Eight" sesame allergen in food industry.

Abstract
Sesame allergy prevalence varies regionally and by age, in the range of 0.1% to 0.9%. Reactions can be severe and potentially fatal. Resolution rates are in the range of 20% to 50%. The diagnosis requires a careful history and the use of tests, such as skin prick tests and serum sesame-specific IgE. The availability of serum IgE testing for the sesame protein Ses i 1 has improved diagnostic accuracy. The emerging potential for sesame basophil activation tests and additional new tests will likely improve diagnosis in coming years, further reducing the need for diagnostic oral food challenges. Although sesame proteins share homology with those in many foods, clinically relevant cross-reactivity appears uncommon. Nevertheless, sesame is a prominent allergen for those with multiple food allergies. Management may include strict avoidance, but sesame products vary dramatically in protein content. Many people with sesame allergy tolerate forms that are low in protein, such as scattered seeds, rather than sesame paste that is protein-dense. Thus, options in the approach to avoidance are possible. Studies suggest that sesame oral immunotherapy may be safe and effective, and this and additional treatment options are emerging. Here, we review the current comprehensive diagnosis, management, and treatment for sesame allergy.

Allergy 2023; 78:3212-3220. [PMID: 37606275 DOI: 10.1111/all.15863] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2023] [Revised: 07/02/2023] [Accepted: 07/10/2023] [Indexed: 08/23/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sesame is a significant food allergen causing severe and even fatal reactions. Given its increasing prevalence in western diet, sesame is listed as an allergenic food requiring labeling in the United States and EU. However, data on the population reaction doses to sesame are limited. METHODS All sesame oral food challenges (OFCs), performed either for diagnosis or for threshold identification before the beginning of sesame oral immunotherapy (OIT) between November 2011 and July 2021 in Shamir medical center were analyzed for reaction threshold distribution. Safe-dose challenges with 90-120 min intervals were also analyzed. RESULTS Two hundred and fifty patients underwent 338 positive OFCs, and additional 158 safe-dose OFCs were performed. The discrete and cumulative protein amounts estimated to elicit an objective reaction in 1% (ED01) of the entire cohort (n = 250) were 0.8 mg (range 0.3-6.3) and 0.7 mg (range 0.1-7.1), respectively, and those for 5% of the population (ED05) were 3.4 mg (range 1.2-20.6) and 4.5 mg (range 1.2-28.8), respectively. Safe-dose OFCs showed similar values of ED01 (0.8, 0.4-7.5 mg) and ED05 (3.4, 1.2-22.9 mg). While doses of ≤1 mg sesame protein elicited oral pruritus in 11.6% of the patients, no objective reaction was documented to this amount in any of the challenges, including safe-dose OFCs. CONCLUSIONS This study provides data on sesame reaction threshold distribution in the largest population of allergic patients studied, with no right or left censored data, and with validation using a safe-dose OFC. It further supports the current methods for ED determination as appropriate for establishing safety precautions for the food industry.

Abstract
Food allergy is a multifactorial interplay process influenced not only by the structure and function of the allergen itself but also by other components of the food matrix. For food, before it is thoroughly digested and absorbed, numerous factors make the food matrix constantly change. This will also lead to changes in the chemistry, biochemical composition, and structure of the various components in the matrix, resulting in multifaceted effects on food allergies. In this review, we reveal the relationship between the food matrix and food allergies and outline the immune role of the components in the food matrix, while highlighting the ways and pathways in which the components in the food matrix interact and their impact on food allergies. The in-depth study of the food matrix will essentially explore the mechanism of food allergies and bring about new ideas and breakthroughs for the prevention and treatment of food allergies.

Abstract
Sesame is a potentially potent allergen that can trigger skin, gastrointestinal, and respiratory tract symptoms, and anaphylaxis. Only 20% to 30% of sesame-allergic children develop tolerance. The prevalence of sesame allergy depends on local diets and ranges from 0.1% to 0.9%. A high risk of accidental exposure to sesame has resulted in mandatory food labeling in many countries. More than half of patients with sesame allergy are also allergic to peanut/tree nuts. Serum-specific IgE testing with a quantitative Ses i 1 component can be performed safely and has higher clinical specificity and better positive predictive value for oral food challenge (OFC) than whole sesame extract or skin prick testing (SPT). Compared with SPT or OFC, in vitro Ses i 1 testing requires no special techniques and carries no risk of reactions. Diagnosis of suspected sesame allergy begins with a thorough history and physical examination. A positive sesame extract test (≥0.1 kUA /L) should prompt further testing. In patients with a high probability of reacting, results of component testing may facilitate a decision about performing an OFC. In a Japanese study of OFC and Ses i 1, there was a 5% probability of a positive OFC with Ses i 1 sIgE levels <0.13 kUA /L, and a 50% probability of a positive OFC with levels >32.0 kUA /L. Most patients could safely consume sesame if sIgE levels were <0.13 kUA /L. Ses i 1 testing can be used to guide appropriate management (avoidance, emergency medication, and oral immunotherapy).

Abstract
The increasing exposure of the population to Cannabis sativa has revealed allergies to different parts of the plant, among which hemp seed. Nonetheless, the major hemp seed allergens remain to be identified. Several known families of allergens are present in hemp seed, including notably seed storage proteins. We therefore aimed to investigate the potential allergenicity of the hemp seed storage proteins and their potential cross-reactivity to different seeds and nuts. For this, we extracted hemp seed proteins sequentially using buffers with increasing levels of salinity (H2O, T2 and T3) to yield extracts differentially enriched in storage proteins. We used these extracts to perform immunoblots and ELISAs using sera of patients either sensitized to hemp seeds or sensitized/allergic to other seeds and nuts. Immunoblots and proteomics analyses identified vicilins and edestins as potential hemp seed allergens. Moreover, ELISA analyses revealed a correlation between sensitization to hazelnut and the hemp seed T3 extract (enriched in storage proteins). The possible cross-reactivity between hazelnut and hemp seed proteins was further strengthened by the results from inhibition ELISAs: the incubation of sera from hazelnut-sensitized individuals with increasing concentrations of the T3 extract inhibited serum IgE binding to the hazelnut extract by about 25-30%. Our study thus identifies vicilins and edestins as potential hemp seed allergens and highlights a possible cross-reactivity with hazelnut. The clinical relevance of this cross-reactivity between hemp seed and hazelnut needs to be further investigated in hazelnut-allergic individuals.

Abstract
Since the discovery of immunoglobulin E (IgE) as a mediator of allergic diseases in 1967, our knowledge about the immunological mechanisms of IgE-mediated allergies has remarkably increased. In addition to understanding the immune response and clinical symptoms, allergy diagnosis and management depend strongly on the precise identification of the elicitors of the IgE-mediated allergic reaction. In the past four decades, innovations in bioscience and technology have facilitated the identification and production of well-defined, highly pure molecules for component-resolved diagnosis (CRD), allowing a personalized diagnosis and management of the allergic disease for individual patients. The first edition of the "EAACI Molecular Allergology User's Guide" (MAUG) in 2016 rapidly became a key reference for clinicians, scientists, and interested readers with a background in allergology, immunology, biology, and medicine. Nevertheless, the field of molecular allergology is moving fast, and after 6 years, a new EAACI Taskforce was established to provide an updated document. The Molecular Allergology User's Guide 2.0 summarizes state-of-the-art information on allergen molecules, their clinical relevance, and their application in diagnostic algorithms for clinical practice. It is designed for both, clinicians and scientists, guiding health care professionals through the overwhelming list of different allergen molecules available for testing. Further, it provides diagnostic algorithms on the clinical relevance of allergenic molecules and gives an overview of their biology, the basic mechanisms of test formats, and the application of tests to measure allergen exposure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few studies have focused on food allergies in the elderly, even though it may persist or appear de novo. METHODS We reviewed data for all cases of food-induced anaphylaxis in people age ≥ 60 reported to the French "Allergy Vigilance Network" (RAV) between 2002 and 2021. RAV collates data reported by French-speaking allergists regarding cases of anaphylaxis graded II to IV according to the Ring and Messmer classification. RESULTS In total, 191 cases were reported, with an even sex distribution and mean age was 67.4 years (range 60 to 93). The most frequent allergens were mammalian meat and offal (31 cases, 16.2%), often associated with IgE to α-Gal. Legumes were reported in 26 cases (13.6%), fruits and vegetables in 25 cases (13.1%), shellfish 25 cases (13.1%), nuts 20 cases (10.5%), cereals 18 cases (9.4%), seeds 10 cases (5.2%), fish 8 cases (4.2%) and anisakis 8 cases (4.2%). Severity was grade II in 86 cases (45%), grade III in 98 cases (52%) and grade IV in 6 cases (3%) with one death. Most episodes occurred at home or in a restaurant and in most cases adrenaline was not used to treat the acute episode. Potentially relevant cofactors such as beta-blocker, alcohol or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug intake were present in 61% of cases. Chronic cardiomyopathy, present in 11.5% of the population, was associated with greater, grade III or IV reaction severity (OR 3.4; 1.24-10.95). CONCLUSION Anaphylaxis in the elderly has different causes to younger people and requires detailed diagnostic testing and individualized care plans.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sesame allergy has been characterized in the Middle East for some time. However, it has become more widely recognized as foods containing sesame and sesame seeds have become increasingly available in Australia, Europe, and North America. With the passage of the Food Allergy Safety, Treatment, Education, and Research Act in 2021, the United States will join other countries in identifying sesame as a major food allergen and require sesame to be labeled as a food allergen beginning in 2023. OBJECTIVE To review the literature related to sesame allergy as an increasingly recognized food allergen around the world. DATA SOURCES English-language articles retrieved by PubMed searches with relevance to sesame allergy. STUDY SELECTIONS Articles were included using the search terms "sesame allergy" and "sesame seed allergy." RESULTS A total of 69 relevant articles regarding sesame allergy, relating to its prevalence, clinical presentation, natural history, allergenic epitopes, diagnosis, and treatment, were selected. CONCLUSION In recent decades, considerable gains have been made in determining prevalence and natural history of sesame allergy. With increased recognition and prevalence come the need for reliable methods of identification of sesame allergy and approaches for management.

Abstract
We have developed a magnetic separation-based immunocolorimetric assay to detect sesame allergens. Sesame monoclonal antibody (Ab) was modified onto gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to create signal probes (AuNPs-Ab), and sesame allergens (SA) were attached to carboxyl-functionalized magnetic polystyrene microspheres (MPMs) to act as capture probes (MPMs-SA). Based on the competition format, the capture probes competed with the sesame allergens in the sample to bind the corresponding signal probes. When sesame allergens were present, two immune complexes (AuNPs-Ab@MPMs-SA and AuNPs-Ab@SA) were formed. The immune complex AuNPs-Ab@SA was used to quantify the sesame allergens in the sample. This immunoassay had a detection linear range from 50 to 800 μg L-1 with a limit of detection (LOD) of 45.53 μg L-1. Based on the optimized conditions, the recovery of sesame allergens in bread, biscuit, almond beverage, and energy bar samples was between 82.50% and 116.67%. The LODs for the bread, biscuit, almond beverage, and energy bar samples were 0.36, 0.36, 0.27, and 0.55 mg kg-1, respectively.

Abstract
Sesame is an allergenic food with an increasing allergy prevalence among the European/USA population. Sesame allergy is generally life-persisting, being the cause of severe/systemic adverse immune responses in sesame-allergic individuals. Herein, clinical data about sesame allergy, including prevalence, diagnosis, relevance, and treatments are described, with focus on the molecular characterization of sesame allergens, their cross-reactivity and co-sensitization phenomena. The influence of food processing and digestibility on the stability/immunoreactivity of sesame allergens is critically discussed and the analytical approaches available for their detection in foodstuffs. Cross-reactivity between sesame and tree nuts or peanuts is frequent because of the high similarities among proteins of the same family. However, cross-reactivity phenomena are not always correlated with true clinical allergy in sensitized patients. Data suggest that sesame allergens are resistant to heat treatments and digestibility, with little effect on their immunoreactivity. Nevertheless, data are scarce, evidencing the need for more research to understand the effect of food processing on sesame allergenicity modulation. The demands for identifying trace amounts of sesame in foods have prompted the development of analytical methods, which have targeted both protein and DNA markers, providing reliable, specific, and sensitive tools, crucial for the effective management of sesame as an allergenic food.

Abstract
A highly sensitive smartphone-integrated fluorescence quenching immunochromatographic assay (FQICA) for the detection of sesame allergen was proposed. Sesame antibodies were adsorbed on the surface of the gold nanoparticles to form fluorescent acceptors (AuNPs-Ab). Ovalbumin (OVA) protein was labeled with quantum dots (QDs) to form signal probes (QDs-OVA), which were coated on the C-line of the assay strips. A mixture of QDs-OVA and sesame protein was coated on the T-line of the strip. For FQICA, the concentration of the analyte was positively correlated with the fluorescence signal. The developed FQICA had high sensitivity for the detection of sesame protein, and its visual LOD was 80 μg/L and the quantitative LOD was 40 μg/L. In addition, the method had high specificity, except for a small cross-reaction between sesame and walnut. The visual LODs in bread, ham, and biscuits were 640 μg/L. The quantitative LODs were 320 μg/L for biscuits and 640 μg/L for bread and ham. Comparing the developed FQICA with a commercial ELISA kit, the recoveries of sesame protein in both methods were between 80% and 120%.

Abstract
Sesame allergy is a serious public health problem and is mainly induced by IgE-mediated reactions, whose prevalence is distributed all over the world. Sesame has been included on the priority allergic food list in many countries. This review summarizes the mechanism and prevalence of sesame allergy. The characteristics, structures and epitopes of sesame allergens (Ses i 1 to Ses i 7) are included. Moreover, the detection methods for sesame allergens are evaluated, including nucleic-acid, immunoassays, mass spectrometry, and biosensors. Various processing techniques for reducing sesame allergenicity are discussed. Additionally, the potential cross-reactivity of sesame with other plant foods is assessed. It is found that the allergenicity of sesame is related to the structures and epitopes of sesame allergens. Immunoassays and mass spectrometry are the major analytical tools for detecting and quantifying sesame allergens in food. Limited technologies have been successfully used to reduce the antigenicity of sesame, involving microwave heating, high hydrostatic pressure, salt and pH treatment. More technologies for reducing the allergenicity of sesame should be widely investigated in future studies. The reduction of allergenicity in processed sesames should be ultimately confirmed by clinical studies. What's more, sesame may exhibit cross-reactivity with peanut and tree nuts.

Abstract
Sesame can trigger a systemic allergic reaction. In the present study, we investigated the responses of the structure and IgE binding of sesame allergens to different roasting treatments (120, 150, and 180 °C for 5 to 30 min). We analyzed the tryptic digestion peptides using a label-free mass spectrometry method. The total amount of soluble proteins in sesame was significantly reduced by roasting at 180 °C, followed by 150 °C. Ses i 1 was the most stable protein during processing as it still possessed a higher protein abundance compared to other allergens after roasting under 180 °C. The most unstable allergens were Ses i 4 and Ses i 7, which suffered severe protein degradation at 180 °C. Roasting at 180 °C remarkably increased the secondary structure content of α-helices but decreased that of β-sheets, whereas roasting at 120 and 150 °C had a limited effect on the secondary structure of sesame proteins. Moreover, serum pool Western blot analysis showed that the main allergens were oleosin of Ses i 4 and Ses i 5. The IgE-binding ability of sesame allergens was significantly decreased under 180 °C roasting, as well as the solubility of sesame proteins, which showed remarkable congruence in changes. Relative quantification results indicate that individual sesame allergens respond differently to the roasting process. In general, sesame allergens are unstable under roasting treatment. Therefore, the allergenic potential of sesame allergens may be minimized by selecting appropriate parameters during processing.

Abstract
:
By-products from the food sector now have a wide range of applications. Low-cost raw
materials, followed by low-cost goods, are regarded as one of the sectors’ top goals. Because of its
economic relevance, reduced price, and nutrients such as protein, fiber, carbs, and antioxidants,
oilseed cakes (OCs) have found a desirable place in livestock and poultry feed. Furthermore, because
the cake has the same desirable nutrients, its usage in the food business is unavoidable.
However, its use in this sector is not simply for nutritious purposes and has it has different impacts
on flavor, texture, color, and antioxidant qualities. Therefore, as a result of its desirable qualities,
the cake can be more useful in extensive applications in the food business, as well as in the manufacture
of supplements and novel foods. The current review looks at the reapplications of byproducts
obtained from oilseeds (soybean, sunflower, sesame, canola, palm kernel, peanut, mustard,
and almond) in the food sector in the future. Furthermore, allergenicity, toxicity, antinutritional
compounds, and techniques of extracting cakes from oilseeds have been discussed.

Ann Allergy Asthma Immunol 2021; 128:279-282. [PMID: 34883240 DOI: 10.1016/j.anai.2021.12.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2021] [Revised: 11/01/2021] [Accepted: 12/01/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Allergen avoidance is critical for those with IgE-mediated food allergy (FA) but can only be successful with accurate product information. While the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) maintains the Center for Food Safety and Nutrition (CFSAN) Adverse Event Reporting System (CAERS) to collect adverse event (AE) reports related to foods, there is significant under-reporting and information regarding product labeling issues is limited. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to describe allergic reactions associated with accidental oral exposure to sesame and the role of product labeling. METHODS A questionnaire was developed and disseminated to online communities focused on sesame allergy. The questionnaire included questions on clinical characteristics, treatments, outcomes, and labelling issues. RESULTS 360 clinical reactions related to sesame were reviewed in 327 individuals. Anaphylaxis occurred in 68.9% of reactions. Hospitalization occurred in 47.8% of events and epinephrine was administered in 36.4% of cases. Events involving a packaged food-product occurred in 67.5% of AEs with only 43.8% of these using the term "sesame." An alternate name was noted in 46.0% of products that did not include "sesame" on labeling, most of which was "tahini". CONCLUSION We demonstrate considerable sesame FA morbidity in part due to inconsistent allergen labeling. Our findings support development of a swifter process for the FDA to update the major allergen list as well as formulation of an improved system for reporting AEs related to foods.

Abstract
Buckwheat is one of the five main allergenic foods (eggs, milk, wheat, buckwheat, and peanuts). Oleosin is an important type of allergen in some allergic foods. However, although most diagnostic nut and seed extracts are defatted, some patients with food allergies may have false negative diagnostic results of oleosin in vitro. Recently, we found that the serum of buckwheat allergic patients responded strongly to an 18 kDa protein. Mass spectrometry analysis showed it is the oleosin protein family. We further purified and evaluated the allergenicity of this buckwheat oleosin-type allergen, which is involved in the formation of buckwheat oil bodies. The tartary buckwheat oleosin allergen was named Fag t 6, according to the WHO/IUIS Allergen Nomenclature Subcommittee criteria. The DNA sequence of tartary buckwheat oleosin was cloned. Dot blot and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) showed half of the 20 buckwheat allergic patients' serum had strong reactivity with purified buckwheat Fag t 6. Circular dichroism experiment analysis of its thermal stability showed a Tm of 64.65 ± 0.65 °C. A buckwheat allergy showed possible cross-reaction with a wheat allergy. In summary, this study not only increases our understanding of buckwheat allergies and oil-soluble allergens in general, it may also be used to improve diagnostic tests for buckwheat allergies in the future.

Oleosin Cor a 15 is a novel allergen for Italian hazelnut allergic children. Pediatr Allergy Immunol 2021; 32:1743-1755.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hazelnut allergy, which is characterized by symptoms that range from mild to severe, is one of the most common allergies in children throughout Europe, and an accurate diagnosis of this allergy is therefore essential. However, lipophilic allergens, such as oleosins, are generally underrepresented in diagnostic tests. We therefore sought to characterize the IgE reactivity of raw and roasted hazelnut oleosins, using the sera of hazelnut-allergic pediatric patients. METHODS Raw and roasted hazelnut oil body-associated proteins were analyzed by means of 1D and 2D electrophoresis and MS. Oleosin IgE reactivity was assessed by immunoblotting with the sera of 27 children who have confirmed hazelnut allergies and from 10 tolerant subjects. A molecular characterization of the oleosins was performed by interrogating the C. avellana cv. Jefferson and cv. TGL genomes, and through expression and purification of the recombinant new allergen. RESULTS A proteomic and genomic investigation allowed two new oleosins to be identified, in addition to Cor a 12 and Cor a 13, in hazelnut oil bodies. One of the new oleosins was registered as a new allergen, according to the WHO/IUIS Allergen Nomenclature Subcommittee criteria, and termed Cor a 15. Cor a 15 was the most frequently immunorecognized oleosin in our cohort. Oleosins resulted to be the only immunorecognized allergens in a subgroup of allergic patients who showed low ImmunoCAP assay IgE values and positive OFC and PbP. Hazelnut roasting resulted in an increase in oleosin immunoreactivity. CONCLUSION A novel hazelnut oleosin, named Cor a 15, has been discovered. Cor a 15 could play a role in eliciting an allergic reaction in a subgroup of pediatric patients that exclusively immunorecognize oleosins. The high prevalence of hazelnut oleosin sensitization here reported further confirms the need to include oleosins in routine diagnostic procedures.

The Short-Term Effects of Pistacia Lentiscus Oil and Sesame Oil on Liver and Kidney Pathology of Rats and Human Cancer Cell Lines. Galen Med J 2021; 9:e2001.

Abstract
Background Vegetable oils recently have been evaluated in many tissues. Pistacia lentiscus (mastic) of the Anacardiaceae family and Sesamum indicum (sesame) of the Pedaliaceae family are conventionally used in the management of gastrointestinal, lung, and skin illnesses. This assay attempts to determine if the oral usage of mastic and sesame oils has any short-term toxic effects in vivo on the rat and evaluate the human anticancer effect in vitro. Materials and Methods Twenty-one male Sprague-Dewley rats were assigned to three groups randomly: (A) control, (B) mastic oil (400 mg/kg), and (C) sesame oil (2cc/kg). The effects of these oils were investigated by determining histopathological and stereological parameters after six days, and the anticancer effects were evaluated on SW48, HepG2 human cell lines. Results A mild chronic interstitial inflammation was seen in just one kidney of mastic oil group (B) and the other ones were normal. In the sesame oil group (C), mild chronic interstitial inflammation was seen in six kidneys. In the liver samples of both groups, there were no specific pathological findings. Different concentrations of mastic oil (0.1%-5%) reduced the cell viability of SW48, HepG2, HEK293t, and human fat cells. Conclusion Mastic and sesame oils have some side-effects on the kidney and might not be safe at high doses in rats. Sesame oil did not have any toxic effect on HepG2 and HEK293t human cancer cells. Mastic oil treatment has inhibited specific SW48 cells, so this oil seems to be a good adjuvant to chemotherapy in colon treatments.

Peanut Can Be Used as a Reference Allergen for Hazard Characterization in Food Allergen Risk Management: A Rapid Evidence Assessment and Meta-Analysis. THE JOURNAL OF ALLERGY AND CLINICAL IMMUNOLOGY-IN PRACTICE 2021; 10:59-70. [PMID: 34438104 PMCID: PMC8790324 DOI: 10.1016/j.jaip.2021.08.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2021] [Revised: 08/03/2021] [Accepted: 08/04/2021] [Indexed: 12/03/2022]
Abstract
Regional and national legislation mandates the disclosure of “priority” allergens when present as an ingredient in foods, but this does not extend to the unintended presence of allergens due to shared production facilities. This has resulted in a proliferation of precautionary allergen (“may contain”) labels (PAL) that are frequently ignored by food-allergic consumers. Attempts have been made to improve allergen risk management to better inform the use of PAL, but a lack of consensus has led to variety of regulatory approaches and nonuniformity in the use of PAL by food businesses. One potential solution would be to establish internationally agreed “reference doses,” below which no PAL would be needed. However, if reference doses are to be used to inform the need for PAL, then it is essential to characterize the hazard associated with these low-level exposures. For peanut, there are now published data relating to over 3000 double-blind, placebo-controlled challenges in allergic individuals, but a similar level of evidence is lacking for other priority allergens. We present the results of a rapid evidence assessment and meta-analysis for the risk of anaphylaxis to a low-level allergen exposure for priority allergens. On the basis of this analysis, we propose that peanut can and should be considered an exemplar allergen for the hazard characterization at a low-level allergen exposure.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Allergies affect 20-30% of the population and respiratory allergies are mostly due to pollen grains from anemophilous plants. One to 5% of people suffer from food allergies and clinicians report increasing numbers of pollen-food allergy syndrome (PFAS), such that the symptoms have broadened from respiratory to gastrointestinal, and even to anaphylactic shock in the presence of cofactors. Thirty to 60% of food allergies are associated with pollen allergy while the percentage of pollen allergies associated to food allergy varies according to local environment and dietary habits. AREAS COVERED Articles published in peer-reviewed journals, covered by PubMed databank, clinical data are discussed including symptoms, diagnosis, and management. A chapter emphasizes the role of six well-known allergen families involved in PFAS: PR10 proteins, profilins, lipid transfer proteins, thaumatin-like proteins, isoflavone reductases, and β-1,3 glucanases. The relevance in PFAS of three supplementary allergen families is presented: oleosins, polygalacturonases, and gibberellin-regulated proteins. To support the discussion a few original relevant results were added. EXPERT OPINION Both allergenic sources, pollen and food, are submitted to the same stressful environmental changes resulting in an increase of pathogenesis-related proteins in which numerous allergens are found. This might be responsible for the potential increase of PFAS.

Abstract
The diagnosis and management of food allergy is complicated by an abundance of homologous, cross-reactive proteins in edible foods and aeroallergens. This results in patients having allergic sensitization (positive tests) to many biologically related foods. However, many are sensitized to foods without exhibiting clinical reactivity. Although molecular diagnostics have improved our ability to identify clinically relevant cross-reactivity, the optimal approach to patients requires an understanding of the epidemiology of clinically relevant cross-reactivity, as well as the food-specific (degree of homology, protein stability, abundance) and patient-specific factors (immune response, augmentation factors) that determine clinical relevance. Examples of food families with high rates of cross-reactivity include mammalian milks, eggs, fish, and shellfish. Low rates are noted for grains (wheat, barley, rye), and rates of cross-reactivity are variable for most other foods. This review discusses clinically relevant cross-reactivity related to the aforementioned food groups as well as seeds, legumes (including peanut, soy, chickpea, lentil, and others), tree nuts, meats, fruits and vegetables (including the lipid transfer protein syndrome), and latex. The complicating factor of addressing co-allergy, for example, the risks of allergy to both peanut and tree nuts among atopic patients, is also discussed. Considerations for an approach to individual patient care are highlighted.

Abstract
Sesame allergy is a life-threatening disease that has been growing globally with poorly understood mechanisms. To protect sensitive consumers, sesame is regulated in many countries. There were four research goals for this work on sesame allergy: (i) to map the timeline, and the extent of its global rise; (ii) to dissect the complexity of the disease, and its mechanisms; (iii) to analyze the global regulation of sesame; and (iv) to map the directions for future research and regulation. We performed a literature search on PubMed and Google Scholar, using combinations of key words and analyzed the output. Regulatory information was obtained from the government agencies. Information relevant to the above goals was used to make interpretations. We found that: (i) the reports appeared first in 1950s, and then rapidly rose globally from 1990s; (ii) sesame contains protein and lipid allergens, a unique feature not found in other allergenic foods; (iii) it is linked to five types of diseases with understudied mechanisms; and (iv) it is a regulated allergen in 32 advanced countries excluding the USA. We also provide directions for filling gaps in the research and identify implications of possible regulation of sesame in the USA.

Abstract
Food allergy is a worldwide health problem that concerns infants to adults. The main health risk for sensitised individuals is due to the presence of traces of allergens as the result of an accidental contamination during food processing. The labelling of allergens such as sesame, pistachio, and macadamia nut on food products is mandatory according to Regulation (EU) N. 1169/2011; therefore, the development of suitable and specific analytical methodologies is advisable. The aim of this study was to perform a multi-allergen real-time PCR system that works well in fast mode at the same annealing temperature and with the same thermal profile. The real-time PCR was developed designing new, specific, and efficient primer and probe systems for the 2S albumingene for sesame and pistachio and for the vicilin precursorgene for macadamia nut. These systems were subjected to a robust intra-laboratory qualitative validation process prior to their application, by DNA extraction and fast real-time PCR, on some real market samples to reproduce a potential allergen contamination along the food chain. The developed system results were specific and robust, with a sensible limit of detection (0.005% for sesame; 0.004% for pistachio; 0.006% for macadamia nut). The performance and the reliability of the target systems were confirmed on commercial food samples. This molecular approach could be used as a screening or as a support tool, in association with the other widespread monitoring techniques (such as ELISA).

Abstract
Caleosins are involved in several cellular and biological processes that are closely associated with the synthesis, degradation and stability of oil bodies (OB). Because of the importance and the multiple roles of these OB-associated proteins, in silico identification of sequences corresponding to putative caleosins in the hazelnut genome has been performed, and the association with seed OB was verified using a proteomic approach. Five full-length sequences (CavCLO-H1, CavCLO-H2, CavCLO-H3, CavCLO-L1, CavCLO-L2), belonging to the two groups of caleosins (H and L), have been identified in the hazelnut genome. The number of identified caleosins is in agreement with that previously observed in other plant species, confirming that caleosins comprise small gene families in plants. A proteomic approach allowed us to verify only the presence of CavCLO-H1 in hazelnut OB, suggesting that several members inside this family could have different roles during plant growth and development. In silico analysis also suggests that CavCLO-H1 may act as a peroxygenase.

Abstract
In patients having a history of anaphylaxis after consumption of peanuts, sunflower seeds, or soy and skin or blood tests negative for the allergen extracts, oleosins could be the culprit. Oleosins are common and largely underestimated allergy inducers of plant origin, causing severe allergy symptoms, including the anaphylactic shock. They are resistant to high temperatures and digestive enzymes. The consumption of heat-treated oleosins has been associated with a higher risk of a severe anaphylactic reaction. Recent studies have shown that oleosins could be a biomarker of the allergy severity to peanuts. Oleosins have a hydrophobic structure and thus, are poorly soluble in aqueous solutions. The aqueous extraction, separation, and purification procedures do not guarantee their solubility. Oleosins dissolve only in the presence of detergents, which limits their use in both in vivo and in vitro allergy tests. Recently, a multiparameter allergy test that detects the allergen-specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) against oleosins has become available. This capability may help to unravel the presence of oleosin source during the routine diagnostic of allergy, which is conducive to assessing the risk for severe anaphylaxis and may also help to clarify the ambiguous allergy cases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sesame is an allergen of increasing importance. OBJECTIVE We sought to characterize the outcomes of oral food challenges (OFCs) to sesame and evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of skin prick testing (SPT), sesame, and Ses i 1-specific IgE (sIgE). METHODS We reviewed sesame OFCs performed at the Mount Sinai pediatric allergy clinic between January 2010 and April 2018. We assessed the accuracy of diagnostic tests by calculating the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic curves. The association between OFC outcome and sesame sensitization was analyzed using a logistic regression, which was then used to estimate the 95% positive predictive value (PPV) of these tests. RESULTS We identified 341 patients (69% male, mean age 7.7 years) who underwent sesame OFC. Among 106 (31%) positive OFCs, the median cumulative eliciting dose was 500 mg sesame protein (1/2 teaspoon tahini). Sesame SPT wheal ≥6 mm had sensitivity 54.1% and specificity 87.8%; AUC 0.756 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.699-0.814). SPT wheal size ≥14 mm had 95% PPV. Sesame-sIgE level did not correlate with OFC outcome. Ses i-sIgE levels were analyzed in 30 patients using the Immuno Solid-phase Allergen Chip (ISAC) microarray and were significantly associated with OFC outcome (AUC: 0.715 [95% CI, 0.541-0.890]). Ses i 1-sIgE ≥0.3 ISAC Standardized Units had sensitivity 58.3% and specificity 83.3%. CONCLUSIONS This is the largest study of sesame allergy to date. Sesame SPT is a more accurate predictor of sesame allergy compared with sesame sIgE. Ses i 1-sIgE appears promising but requires further study regarding diagnostic accuracy.

Detection and identification of allergens from Canadian mustard varieties of Sinapis alba and Brassica juncea. Biomolecules 2019; 9:biom9090489.

Abstract
Currently, information on the allergens profiles of different mustard varieties is rather scarce. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess protein profiles and immunoglobulin E (IgE)-binding patterns of selected Canadian mustard varieties. Optimization of a non-denaturing protein extraction from the seeds of selected mustard varieties was first undertaken, and the various extracts were quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed by means of protein recovery determination and protein profiling. The IgE-binding patterns of selected mustard seeds extracts were assessed by immunoblotting using sera from mustard sensitized and allergic individuals. In addition to the known mustard allergens—Sin a 2 (11S globulins), Sin a 1, and Bra j 1 (2S albumins)—the presence of other new IgE-binding protein bands was revealed from both Sinapis alba and Brassica juncea varieties. Mass spectrometry (MS) analysis of the in-gel digested IgE-reactive bands identified the unknown ones as being oleosin, β-glucosidase, enolase, and glutathione-S transferase proteins. A bioinformatic comparison of the amino acid sequence of the new IgE-binding mustard proteins with those of know allergens revealed a number of strong homologies that are highly relevant for potential allergic cross-reactivity. Moreover, it was found that Sin a 1, Bra j 1, and cruciferin polypeptides exhibited a stronger IgE reactivity under non-reducing conditions in comparison to reducing conditions, demonstrating the recognition of conformational epitopes. These results further support the utilization of non-denaturing extraction and analysis conditions, as denaturing conditions may lead to failure in the detection of important immunoreactive epitopes.

Abstract
Background In daily practice, one-third of sesame allergic patients, confirmed by clinical history or food challenge, do not show any detectable specific IgE using current diagnostics. Currently used sesame extracts are water-based and therefore lacking hydrophobic proteins like oleosins. Oleosins, the stabilizer of lipid droplets in plants, are described as allergens in sesame, peanut and hazelnut. In this study, we examine the role of oleosins in sesame allergy and their potential cross-reactivity between sesame and (pea)nuts. Methods Specific IgE and IgG sensitisation to native and heterologously expressed sesame components and oleosins from other nuts, free of seed storage proteins, was assessed by line blot and sera from 17 sesame allergic patients without detectable specific IgE sensitisation to sesame, and compared to 18 sesame allergic and 13 tolerant patients with specific IgE sensitisation to sesame. Results Sesame allergic patients without sensitisation showed no specific IgE to the tested sesame oleosins or components. Low levels of specific IgE to sesame oleosins were detected in 17% of sesame allergic and 15% of tolerant patients with sIgE sensitisation. Oleosins were recognised by serum IgG from multiple patients confirming immune reactivity and excluding technical issues leading to lack of specific IgE-binding to oleosins. Conclusion Sesame oleosins are minor allergens and appear to have no additonal value in diagnosing sesame allergy in adults based on sIgE and sIgG detection. There is a high need for additional diagnostic tools in those patients to minimize the number of required food challenges.

Abstract
Food allergy is an abnormal immune response of the immune system to some foods, which has caused great harm to people's health. Therefore, it is particularly important to detect allergens in food. In this article, a hybridization chain reaction (HCR) was coupled with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to detect the allergen genes of peanut, soybean and sesame DNAs. Two hairpin probes (H1 and H2) were designed for the allergen target genes of peanut, soybean and sesame DNAs. In the presence of target DNA, the hybridization chain reaction was triggered by it producing long double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) products. In the gold nanoparticle system, long dsDNA couldn't be adsorbed on the surface of AuNPs. When the concentration of salt ions in the solution increased, gold nanoparticles accumulated and led to a decrease of ultraviolet absorption. In the absence of target DNA, no hybridization chain reaction occurred. The hairpin probes could be adsorbed on the surface of AuNPs and no accumulation happened for gold nanoparticles even if the concentration of salt ions in the solution was increased. This method required no enzymes and had a strong specificity, so it was very easy to distinguish target DNA from non-target DNA. The detection limit of three allergens detected by this method was as low as 0.5 nM. The feasibility of this method for the detection of commercial commodities had been demonstrated by the successful detection of the DNAs extracted from commercial commodities, which were treated with extreme thermostable single-stranded binding protein (ET SSB).

Abstract
The prevalence of food allergy is raising in industrialized countries, but the mechanisms behind this increased incidence are not fully understood. Environmental factors are believed to play a role in allergic diseases, including lifestyle influences, such as diet. There is a close relationship between allergens and lipids, with many allergenic proteins having the ability to bind lipids. Dietary lipids exert pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory functions on cells of the innate immunity and influence antigen presentation to cells of the adaptive immunity. In addition to modifying the immunostimulating properties of proteins, lipids also alter their digestibility and intestinal absorption, changing allergen bioavailability. This study provides an overview of the role of dietary lipids in food allergy, taking into account epidemiological information, as well as results of mechanistic investigations using in vivo, ex vivo and in vitro models. The emerging link among high-fat diets, obesity, and allergy is also discussed.

Abstract
Molecular allergology research has provided valuable information on the structure and function of single allergenic molecules. There are several allergens in food and inhalant allergen sources that are able to interact with lipid ligands via different structural features: hydrophobic pockets, hydrophobic cavities, or specialized domains. For only a few of these allergens information on their associated ligands is already available. Several of the allergens are clinically relevant, so that it is highly probable that the individual structural features with which they interact with lipids have a direct effect on their allergenic potential, and thus on allergy development. There is some evidence for a protective effect of lipids delaying the enzymatic digestion of the peanut (Arachis hypogaea) allergen Ara h 8 (hydrophobic pocket), probably allowing this molecule to get to the intestinal immune system intact (sensitization). Oleosins from different food allergen sources are part of lipid storage organelles and potential marker allergens for the severity of the allergic reaction. House dust mite (HDM), is more often associated with allergic asthma than other sources of inhalant allergens. In particular, lipid-associated allergens from Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus which are Der p 2, Der p 5, Der p 7, Der p 13, Der p 14, and Der p 21 have been reported to be associated with severe allergic reactions and respiratory symptoms such as asthma. The exact mechanism of interaction of these allergens with lipids still has to be elucidated. Apart from single allergens glycolipids have been shown to directly induce allergic inflammation. Several-in parts conflicting-data exist on the lipid (and allergen) and toll-like receptor interactions. For only few single allergens mechanistic studies were performed on their interaction with the air-liquid interface of the lungs, in particular with the surfactant components SP-A and SP-D. The increasing knowledge on protein-lipid-interaction for lipophilic and hydrophobic food and inhalant allergens on the basis of their particular structure, of their capacity to be integral part of membranes (like the oleosins), and their ability to interact with membranes, surfactant components, and transport lipids (like the lipid transfer proteins) are essential to eventually clarify allergy and asthma development.

Abstract
Significant amount of bran is discarded from sesame processing plants and yet it is seen as waste or animal feed. This study for the first time designed to recover protein and antioxidant compounds from sesame bran. In this respect, effectiveness of four different techniques i.e. viscozyme L, alcalase, ultrasound and ultrasound-assisted enzymatic extractions were tested and compared with standard alkaline method. RSM was used to investigate the effects of extraction parameters and to determine optimum process conditions. All of the independent parameters (enzyme concentrations, pH, ultrasound power, temperature and time) had significant effects on all of the responses. Alcalase exhibited higher recovery efficiency than viscozyme L. The highest protein yield, total phenolic compound and antioxidant capacities were found in ultrasound-assisted enzymatic extraction at 836 W ultrasound power, 43 °C, 98 min, 9.8 pH value and 1.248 AU/100 g enzyme concentration. SDS-PAGE and SEM analyses were also carried out to compare extraction techniques.

Abstract
Phytotherapy is a source of finding new remedies for migraine. Traditional chamomile oil (chamomile extraction in sesame oil) is a formulation in Persian medicine (PM) for pain relief in migraine. An oleogel preparation of reformulated traditional chamomile oil was prepared and then standardized based on chamazulene (as a marker in essential oil) and apigenin via gas chromatography (GC) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods, respectively. A crossover double-blind clinical trial was performed with 100 patients. Each patient took two tubes of drug and two tubes of placebo during the study. Visual analog scale (VAS) questionnaires were filled in by the patients and scores were given, ranging from 0 to 10 (based on the severity of pain) during 24 h. Other complications like nausea, vomiting, photophobia, and phonophobia were also monitored. There was 4.48 ± 0.01 μl/ml of chamazulene and 0.233 mg/g of apigenin in the preparation (by correcting the amount with extraction ratio). Thirty-eight patients in the drug-placebo and 34 patients in the placebo-drug groups (a total number of 72 patients as per protocol) completed the process in the randomized controlled trial (RCT). Adapted results from the questionnaires showed that pain, nausea, vomiting, photophobia, and phonophobia significantly (p < 0.001) decreased by using chamomile oleogel on the patients after 30 min. Results supported the efficacy of chamomile oleogel as a pain relief in migraine without aura.

Abstract
Tree nuts are considered as part of a healthy diet due to their high nutritional quality. However, they are also a potent source of allergenic proteins inducing IgE mediated hypersensitivity often causing serious, life-threatening reactions. The reported prevalence of tree nut allergy is up to 4.9% worldwide. The general term "tree nuts" comprises a number of nuts, seeds, and drupes, derived from trees from different botanical families. For hazelnut and walnut several allergens have been identified which are already partly applied in component resolved diagnosis, while for other tree nuts such as macadamia, coconut, and Brazil nut only individual allergens were identified and data on additional allergenic proteins are missing. This review summarizes the current knowledge on tree nut allergens and describes their physicochemical and immunological characterization and clinical relevance.

Abstract
Plant-derived foods are the most common allergenic sources in adulthood. Owing to the rapidly increasing prevalence of plant food allergies in industrialized countries, the environmental factors are suspected to play a key role in development of allergic sensitization. The present article provides an overview of ways by which chemicals may influence the development and severity of allergic reactions to plant foods, with especial focus on plant allergens up-regulated under chemical stress. In plants, a substantial part of allergens have defense-related function and their expression is highly influenced by environmental stress and diseases. Pathogenesis-related proteins (PR) account for about 25% of plant food allergens and some are responsible for extensive cross-reactions between plant-derived foods, pollen and latex allergens. Chemicals released by anthropogenic sources such as agriculture, industrial activities and traffic-related air pollutants are potential drivers of the increasing sensitization to allergenic PRs by elevating their expression and by altering their immunogenicity through post-translational modifications. In addition, some orally-taken chemicals may act as immune adjuvants or directly trigger non-IgE mediated food allergy. Taken together, the current literature provides an overwhelming body of evidence supporting the fact that plant chemical exposure and chemicals in diet may enhance the allergenic properties of certain plant-derived foods.

Abstract
Sesame is an important oilseed crop, which has been used as a traditional health food to ameliorate the prevention of various diseases. We evaluated the changes in the anti-allergic activities of sesame by bioconversion. SDS-PAGE of non-fermented sesame proteins showed major allergen bands, while that of fermented sesame showed only a few protein bands. Additionally, we investigated the effectiveness of fermented sesame by bioconversion in tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)- and interferon-γ (IFN-γ)-induced HaCaT cells. In HaCaT cells, fermented sesame inhibited the mRNA expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β), thymus and macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC/CCL22), activation-regulated chemokine (TARC/CCL17), and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1). Moreover, fermented sesame inhibited the activation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1). Fermented sesame exerts anti-allergic effects by suppressing the expression of chemokines and cytokines via blockade of NF-κB and STAT1 activation.

Abstract
This review provides general information to serve as a primer for those embarking on understanding food allergy and also details advances and updates in epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment that have occurred over the 4 years since our last comprehensive review. Although firm prevalence data are lacking, there is a strong impression that food allergy has increased, and rates as high as approximately 10% have been documented. Genetic, epigenetic, and environmental risk factors are being elucidated increasingly, creating potential for improved prevention and treatment strategies targeted to those at risk. Insights on pathophysiology reveal a complex interplay of the epithelial barrier, mucosal and systemic immune response, route of exposure, and microbiome among other influences resulting in allergy or tolerance. The diagnosis of food allergy is largely reliant on medical history, tests for sensitization, and oral food challenges, but emerging use of component-resolved diagnostics is improving diagnostic accuracy. Additional novel diagnostics, such as basophil activation tests, determination of epitope binding, DNA methylation signatures, and bioinformatics approaches, will further change the landscape. A number of prevention strategies are under investigation, but early introduction of peanut has been advised as a public health measure based on existing data. Management remains largely based on allergen avoidance, but a panoply of promising treatment strategies are in phase 2 and 3 studies, providing immense hope that better treatment will be imminently and widely available, whereas numerous additional promising treatments are in the preclinical and clinical pipeline.
