Antigliadin IgE--indicator of wheat allergy in atopic dermatitis.

BACKGROUND: Cereal grains are recognized as the cause of adverse reactions in some patients exposed to grain or flour by either inhalation or ingestion. Cereal-related diseases, such as celiac disease and baker's asthma, have been well studied and the causative cereal proteins have been characterized. Although cereals form an essential part of daily nutrition, the allergenic proteins causing symptoms on ingestion in atopic dermatitis (AD) have remained obscure. In this study, we have investigated the allergenic fraction of wheat in AD. METHODS: Skin prick tests (SPT) with a NaCl wheat suspens…

Fibre-rich ingredients differing in physicochemical properties modulate digesta transit and digestion kinetics in pigs.

Physicochemical properties of fibres can affect digestive processes such as digesta transit, thereby affecting nutrient digestion kinetics. We evaluated the effects of (1) insoluble fibres differing in cell wall composition and physicochemical properties; wheat straw (WS), softwood flour (WF), and sunflower seed hulls (SF), and (2) addition of pectin to coarse insoluble fibres from straw (WSP), on the mean retention time (MRT) of digesta fractions and nutrient digestion throughout the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of pigs. Twenty-four boars (49.1 ± 2.96 kg) were allocated to one of four diets, …

Both elevated lipopolysaccharide and D-lactic acid concentrations in blood contribute to systemic inflammation in acute ruminal acidosis.

Acute ruminal acidosis is a major metabolic disorder in agriculturally important ruminants, such as cattle and sheep. A common symptom of acute ruminal acidosis is systemic inflammation. This study aimed to identify the underlying causes of systemic inflammation during acute ruminal acidosis using both in vivo and in vitro experiments. In the in vivo experiments, twelve 9-month-old sheep were randomly assigned to two groups, six sheep per group. Sheep in the acidotic group were fasted for 24 h and then provided ad libitum access to a 1:1 mix of whole corn and wheat flour to induce acute rumina…

Proteomic Analysis and Immunoregulation Mechanism of Wheat Germ Globulin.

BACKGROUND: Wheat germ, one of the byproducts of flour milling, contains abundant physiologically active components. Globulins in wheat germ are a class of high-quality functional proteins and have received widespread attention.

Fungal contamination, mycotoxins, histamine, and allergen-related immunoreactivity in edible insects and insect-fortified complementary foods.

INTRODUCTION: Edible insects are consumed by over 3,000 ethnic groups, with 2,205 species documented as food in 128 countries, yet evidence on fungal contamination, mycotoxins and allergen-related risks remains limited. This study assessed these hazards in edible insects and insect-fortified complementary foods for infant and young child nutrition. METHODS: Fungal contamination in 11 edible-insect products, seven food ingredients, seven insect-enriched formulations and five commercial complementary flours was assessed by culture and internal transcribed spacer sequencing. Fungal isolation com…

Iron and folate in fortified cereals.

BACKGROUND: Fortification of cereal-grain products was introduced in 1941 when iron and three vitamins were added to flour and bread. Ready-to-eat cereals were fortified at about the same time. These fortifications have contributed to increased dietary iron intake and reductions in iron deficiency anemia in the US. In 1996, FDA finalized rules for fortification of specific enriched cereal-grain products with folic acid. This measure was instituted to increase the folate intakes of women of child-bearing age and thereby reduce the risk of having a pregnancy affected with a neural tube birth def…
