Calcium oxalate raphide crystals are found in bundles in intravacuolar membrane chambers
of specialized idioblasts cells of most plant families. Aroid raphides are proposed to cause …

The acridity in Araceae species was not apparently due to the calcium oxalate raphides.
Some irritant on the raphide surface caused the acridity, with the raphides apparently …

ABSTRACT Taro (Colocasia esculenta L. Schott), a tropical, edible aroid, contains an irritant
preventing its corm from being eaten raw or incompletely cooked. The irritation is thought to …

Several hazelnut allergens with different clinical relevance and crossreactive properties
have been identified and characterized so far. The aim of this study was to develop protocols …

An allergenic protein with a M r of about 16 kDa was isolated from a rice salt-soluble fraction
based on the reactivity with IgE antibodies from patients allergenic to rice. A cDNA clone …

Allergies to peanuts are becoming an increasingly important health problem as a result of
the persistence and severity of the reaction in allergic individuals. Because no treatment …

In celery a relevant food allergen source, three allergens have been identified so far: Api g 1
and Api g 4, and one glycosylated protein, Api g 5. For component‐resolved food allergy …

This chapter discusses the adverse allergenic reactions to rice, rice-seed proteins and
allergens, and methods to reduce or remove the allergenicity of rice (degradation and …

IgE‐reactive proteins in raspberry (Rubus ideaus L.) were identified using PCR, RT‐PCR, 2‐
DE and MS/MS peptide sequencing. Specific polyclonal antibodies and patient sera were …

Salt-soluble proteins extracted from non-transgenic and transgenic rice were evaluated for
the presence of known and potential allergens by proteomic techniques. The salt-soluble …
