Abstract
Cow’s milk allergy is a hypersensitivity reaction to bovine milk proteins and is immune-related. β-lactoglobulin, the primary allergenic protein found in milk, is a whey protein with a higher biological value than casein. The study aimed to develop a hypoallergenic fortified supplement, with hydrolysed whey proteins as a channel for iron fortification. A degree of hydrolysis (DH) of upto five per cent was selected for better functional properties. The allergenicity of eleven treatments including protein hydrolysates, iron complexed protein hydrolysates, at both 3% and 5% degree of hydrolysis and all complexes with added ascorbic acid were analyzed by direct ELISA based on the ability to bind the specific IgE antibody coated plates.The antibodies specific to the whey protein allergen β-lactoglobulin were used in the present study. Allergy studies revealed a reduction in the allergenicity of iron-complexed whey protein (23%) and iron-complexed hydrolysates (28.27–59%). Allergenicity was further reduced (53.59–60.63%) when protein hydrolysate was complexed with iron in the presence of ascorbic acid. Statistical analysis at 0.01level of significance (P value 0.001) revealed significant differences among all treatments.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Food Science and Technology (JFST) is the official publication of the Association of Food Scientists and Technologists of India (AFSTI). This monthly publishes peer-reviewed research papers and reviews in all branches of science, technology, packaging and engineering of foods and food products. Special emphasis is given to fundamental and applied research findings that have potential for enhancing product quality, extend shelf life of fresh and processed food products and improve process efficiency. Critical reviews on new perspectives in food handling and processing, innovative and emerging technologies and trends and future research in food products and food industry byproducts are also welcome. The journal also publishes book reviews relevant to all aspects of food science, technology and engineering.
