Editorial .................... Welcome to the Internet Symposium on Food Allergens, This issue deals with allergies to five kernels and seeds which usually
take a back seat to the well-recognized most important peanut and hazelnut
allergens. Although the incidence of these five allergies is much less
life-threatening, anaphylactic reactions may occur. The Allergen Data
Collections
on
Almond
(Prunus
dulcis),
Poppy
Seed (Papaver somniferum), Sesame
Seed (Sesamum indicum), and Sunflower
Seed
(Helianthus annuus) summarize epidemiological and clinical
data as well as study results of allergen characterization and the allergenicity
of food products.
The important issues with regard to seed allergens raised here will surely also be of concern beyond the circle of food allergy investigators.
