This book will provide clinicians, scientists, educators, and regulators with an authoritative account of current topics in food allergy. Editors are well-known experts in fields of medicine, biochemistry, immunology, bioinformatics, and food science.
Provides clinicians, scientists, educators, and regulators with an authoritative review of the field.
* Combines our knowledge and hypotheses about food allergy treatments, research directions, bioinformatics tools, and industry and governmental regulation guidelines into one valuable reference.
* Examines the identification and characterization of allergenic proteins within food sources, the underlying mechanisms of action, and treatment options.
* Emphasizes clinical aspects of food allergy and advances in diagnosis; cutting edge immunochemical theories and molecular mechanisms; immunotherapy and the role of animal models in advancing food allergy research; the effects of food processing on allergenicity; and methods for preparing hypoallergenic foods.
* Features in-depth coverage of bioinformatics tools.
