Enzymatic hydrolysis could be one of the crucial means to limit the allergenicity of allergens. The allergenicity of pea peptides was evaluated using indirect ELISA and RBL-2H3 cell assay, thereby obtaining hypoallergenic pea peptide sequences. Results indicated that pea protein-sensitized mice produced higher levels of total IgG1 and IgE antibodies than the mice in the control group (P < 0.05). Moreover, the allergenicity of hydrolysates decreased significantly after enzymolysis, and the allergenicity of ultrafiltration component F1 and purified component F1-2 was significantly lower than that of other isolated and purified components (P < 0.05). Furthermore, ADLYNPR identified from F1-2 had lower binding capacity to specific IgE and IgG1 and lower degree of cell degranulation with a higher EC50 value of 6.63 ng mL-1, which was about 36.83 times that of pea protein (P < 0.05). Based on the above results, ADLYNPR might be a potential source of hypoallergenic peptides.

Null mutations for genes encoding a major seed storage protein in pea, vicilin, were sought through screening a fast-neutron mutant population. Deletion mutations at four or five vicilin loci, where all vicilin genes within each locus were deleted, were combined to address the question of how removal or reduction of a major storage protein and potential allergen might impact the final concentration of protein per unit mature seed weight, seed yield and viability. While the concentration of seed protein was not reduced in mature seeds of mutant lines, indicative of a re-balancing of the proteome, notable differences were apparent in the metabolite, proteomic and amino acid profiles of the seeds, as well as in some functional properties.

Pea protein isolate (PPI) is a valued sustainable protein source, but its relatively poor functional properties limit its applications. This study reports on the effects of cold argon plasma (CP) treatment of a 15 % (w/w) PPI solution on the functionality, structure, and oxidative characteristics of PPI, as well as its application in 3D-printed plant-based meat. Results indicate that hydroxyl radicals and high-energy excited-state argon atoms are the primary active substances.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study explores food allergies related to legumes (such as peanuts, chickpeas, and soybeans), revealing that about 10% of people with allergic diseases have food allergies, with prevalence rates varying by legume type.
  • - In Poland, around 5% of the population is affected by food allergies, with peanuts identified as the most allergenic, alongside notable sensitization rates for other legumes like soy and lentils.
  • - The diagnosis involves various tests, and treatment may include emergency epinephrine and allergen immunotherapy, highlighting the need for better understanding and management of these allergies due to their potential severity.
