Food allergy is an abnormal immune response caused by the ingestion, skin contact, or inhalation of exogenous food macromolecules called allergens or antigens. Until now, allergy sufferers have avoided foods to protect themselves from this health problem. However, with the increasing number of new foods and ingredients being introduced by the industry, it is challenging for allergy sufferers to keep track of all the ingredients in their foods. In addition, cross-contamination of food allergens from one product to another and mislabeling can pose health risks. Numerous thermal and non-thermal food processing interventions have been tested on various allergenic foods to reduce their allergenicity. Ultrasound technology is an emerging technology widely used in food processing and preservation. It has been successfully used to deactivate enzymes, aid in extraction, emulsification, and accelerate dehydration, ripening, and aging processes.
Complex food matrices and diverse detection methods make applying specific technologies to reduce allergenicity challenging. As a global allergen detection company, Lifeasible is committed to providing reliable solutions to remove allergens from food. Depending on the needs of our customers, we offer the following two strategies:
