including a hypersensitive response to foodstuffs, is one of the major health problems nowadays Symptoms of food hypersensitivity cause acute discomfort for patients and are becoming an increasing social and economic problem, although much progress has been made in recent years in many areas related to food allergies Many food allergens have been characterized at a molecular level, their spatial structure has been determined, and allergen fragments (epitopes) responsible for reactions with IgE antibodies have also been characterized A deeper understanding of the mechanism of the immunopathogenesis of food allergies has been reached, and this may soon lead to novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches Many informative books have been published on this subject However, we need to constantly update ourselves to keep abreast of the latest developments in the many sciences related to food hypersensitivity On the other hand, the advances in research on food hypersensitivity open a wide range of potential new solutions and possibilities International teams of scientists committed to research in fields such as medicine, molecular biology, food biotechnology, and foodstuff assays have achieved remarkable results This book should help in understanding the problems related to the occurrence of allergies, particularly food allergies It contains up-to-date information on the mechanisms involved in hypersensitive responses and threats caused by ingesting foodstuffs and their components that are often associated with modern food-processing technologies It provides in-depth knowledge on allergens and related disciplines It also responds to the need for popular social education, which aims to instruct potential patients on methods of avoiding harmful allergens This objective is aided by the presentation of the problems, which consists of a detailed characterization of the major groups of allergens, a description of their behavior during various technological and biotechnological processes, as well as an indication of potential reactions with other allergens Due to its educational value, this book may also be of interest to general consumers, allergic consumers, representatives of the agro-food industry (including primary producers, manufacturers, and retailers), and health professionals and regulators It should also be a dependable reference for researchers (clinicians, food scientists, dieticians, and nutritionists) and students of molecular biology (particularly the up-to-date characterizations of mechanisms causing allergies and genetic modifications aimed at decreasing allergenic activity of food products), food technology (mainly health risks related to particular food components and the effect of technological processes on allergenic activity of food products as well as foodstuff assays), biotechnology (primarily allergenic threats caused by microorganisms and microbial metabolites), and food safety, as well as medical studies connected with diagnostic methods (elimination diets and food challenges) and allergy therapies vii viii Preface This book draws its material from existing databases on allergens and from Web pages devoted to this issue Hence, it encourages the readers to expand their knowledge on their own—it can be especially beneficial for college students It should be present on the shelves of libraries at all universities, especially universities and scientific institutes that specialize in biological research Lucjan Je˛drychowski Acknowledgments I would like to thank my wife and children for being so understanding and patient while I was absent from home writing this book I am also grateful to all the co-authors and my co-workers for their assistance and kindness
