Clinical topics provide comprehensive and practical information, with generous use of tables, figures, and key points/clinical pearls, to inform clinical decision-making, and promote evidence-based management decisions. Food allergy may affect up to 10% of the population in developed countries and appears to be increasing in prevalence worldwide, with many food allergies proving life-long, severe and potentially fatal. The last decade has witnessed a sea change response to the impact of food allergy through basic science research on the immunology, food science research on the triggers, clinical approaches to daily management, treatment and prevention, and an increasing understanding of the psychosocial and societal implications and how to address them. With the expanding breadth and depth of the field, there is no existing comprehensive resource available for those professionals interested in learning about or contributing to food allergy research and clinical care. This is a complete resource covering broad and detailed aspects of food allergy and adverse food reactions for clinicians, researchers, regulators, food industry, students and other stakeholders who need and will benefit from a rich resource with in-depth and practical information. - Presents in-depth, comprehensive coverage from an outstanding international author base of domain experts - Ideal for new researchers and clinicians who will have a single resource that includes general topics to get them started - Includes access to detailed information in their areas of work AND for many related topics that will help improve their research or clinical care

Much has been written about food allergies in scientific journals and in the lay press, but Food Allergies: Processing Technologies for Allergenicity Reduction approaches the issue of food allergies from an industrial processing rather than a clinical perspective. Indeed, industrial food processing technologies can have many beneficial effects to obtain various food products and to preserve foods from physical, chemical and microbiological alterations. However, processing technologies, including thermal and non‐thermal technologies, can also alter the allergenic properties of food proteins. This book provides an authoritative source of information on the relationship between food processing technologies and food allergens with a greater variety of studied allergens including peanuts, tree nuts, cow’s milk, eggs, sesame, lupine, soy, wheat, mustard, mushroom, fish and shellfish, as well as the importance of processing these when producing hypoallergenic foods. Key Features: Presents food allergies with recent advances and statistics concerning prevalence, physiopathologic mechanism, diagnosis and anaphylaxis Discusses food allergies in the food industry and investigates the effect of processing on allergenicity of foods during manufacturing Provides food processing and promising technologies to produce hypoallergenic food with high quality Covers the allergenic effect of different food additives with an investigation of cross‐reaction risks This unique book is an indispensable guide for allergic patients, production managers, scientists and nutritionists within the food industry as well as covering a range of critical topics in this area for all those concerned with understanding and managing food allergies.

Allergy is one of the major health problems of most modern societies. Although allergic diseases are well-known for almost two hundred years, their prevalence has increased dramatically over the last decades. Allergic reactions manifest in various organs, most commonly in the skin and mucous membranes, the frontier surfaces where the contact between the individual and the environment takes place. In a very concise and practical way this book covers all aspects of allergic reactions from pathophysiology to diagnosis, therapy and prevention with a strong focus on relevant aspects for the everyday work of the practising dermatologist and allergist in the hospital or office. This book reflects the rich personal experience of a German allergist with international training and reputation, who is active in immunology and allergy research and practice for almost 30 years. In this book, not only IgE-mediated allergic reactions are covered but all other kinds of allergies such as atopic eczema, contact dermatitis, drug eruptions, anaphylaxis and food allergies are equally represented as well as psychosomatic aspects and problems of environmental intolerances.
