Solution of sea food allergy

Chinese researchers have taken a step towards removing a protein from prawns that cause an allergic response, without resorting to genetic manipulation. Li Zhenxing led the research at the Ocean University of China.The team revealed that treating prawns with a combination of heat and irradiation significantly reduced the level of reactive proteins called allergens. They took blood from patients with shrimp allergies, added samples of treated and untreated prawn, and measured how antiboides in the blood reacted. They found that levels of "Pen a 1" , one of the major allergens, decreased 20-fold after treatment.Zhenxing's team suggests that irradiation damages the proteins, revealing hidden reactive amino acid residues. Subsequent heating then destroyes the exposed residues. "Radiation and heat seems to be a promising method for reducing the immunoreactivity" said the researchers.

Hot Tips:

To prevent an egg from cracking when it's placed in boiling water,pierce the broader end about 1/4th inch deep with a sharp needle. A quick way to stuff hard-boiled eggs is to place the stuffing in a pastry bag and squeeze away. If you need eggs at room temperature and have forgotten to remove them from the refrigerator,put them in a bowl of warm water for 10 minutes. A small funnel is a handy tool to separate egg whites.Carefully open the egg over the funnel,the white will run through and the yolk will remain.
