Abstract
Ara h 1 is recognized as a major peanut allergen. The effects of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) on the immunoreactivity and structure of Ara h 1 were investigated in this study. The immunoreactivity of Ara h 1 was considerably reduced (P < 0.01) after HHP treatment (≥ 400 MPa) with the increase of pressure holding time. The maximum reduction of 74.32% was achieved at 600 MPa for 1200 s. The particle size and molecular weight of Ara h 1 increased, and the secondary/tertiary structure changed markedly. The decrease of the immunoreactivity of Ara h 1 was mainly due to the changes in conformation (especially the tertiary structure) and the formation of new multimers, resulting in the inactivation of immunoreactive sites. Results indicate that HHP technology has the potential to be applied to the preparation of hypoallergenic peanut products.
