Boiling and Pressure Cooking Impact on IgE Reactivity of Soybean Allergens. Jan 2018 This study assessed soybean seeds that had been subjected to different thermal processing treatments to see if there were any differences in their capacity to bind to IgE and therefore induce allergic reactions. It was found that ‘treatment that combined heat and pressure produced a fragmentation of proteins in both soluble and insoluble fractions that went along with a decreased capacity to bind IgE’. Cooking methods may play an important role in increasing the ability to soybean and potentially other allergens. IgE cross-reactivity of peanut with walnut and soybean in children with food allergy. October 2016 Investigation into the allergic properties of soya beans, the mechanisms of soya bean allergy, prevention and treatment, and effects of plant breeding on the soya bean's allergenicity. June 2015 Laboratory test suggest that fermentation can significantly reduce the allergenicity of soy products although this now need to be tested inhuman challenge studies. May 2015 Unlike soyabean proteins, germinated soybean proteins do not appear to provoke serious allergic reactions. May 2015 Researchers create new soybean with significantly reduced levels of three key proteins responsible for both its allergenic and anti-nutritional effects. Research here; comment here. April 2015 Duration of fermentation might be a key factor in the hypoallergenicity of miso. 2013 Over 62% wheat flour in US found to be contaminated with very low levels soya flour but little evidence that this causes reactions in soya-allergic people. December 2013 Higher rate of siezure among children with autism who were fed soya rather than milk infant formula. March 2014 If you are allergic to soya beans or eggs, you may be allergic to the anaesthetic Propofol. October 2012 Exposure to soya oestrogen can cause infertility. May 2012 Evidence shows mice that are sensitive to cow’s milk protein may also be sensitive to soya bean proteins. April 2012 The natural history of soy allergy. March 2010 Soybeans no longer a musical fruit? January 2009 Interpretation research into soya products - Townsend Letter. October 2008 Fermenting soya dramatically reduces its allergenicity. June 2008 Will soya cause a reaction in someone with a peanut allergy? January 2008
