U of I scientists aim to overcome allergic reactions to soy

Date:3/6/2008

ng bacteria, molds, and yeast.

L. plantarum-fermented soy flour showed the highest reduction in immunoreactivity96 to 99 percentdepending upon the sensitivity of the human plasma, the scientist said.

Our next step will be to optimize the fermentation conditions to produce zero-tolerance allergens, she said.

De Mejia noted that fermentation had also improved the essential amino acid composition in the soy products and produced new peptides that may be beneficial.

We want to evaluate some of the bioactive peptides that were produced during fermentation because we believe they may have other benefits. In particular, were interested in their effect on lipogenesis, so well be testing these hydrolysates in adipose cells, she said.

The increase in the number of small bioactive peptides was attributed to partial digestion of large soybean peptides by enzymes secreted by the microorganisms used in fermentation, she said.

Plaimein Amnuaycheewa, a masters degree student in de Mejias lab, is currently working on the allergenicity project, and Cristina Martinez-Villaluenga, a Marie Curie fellow, is working with allergenicity and adipogenesis.
