Controlling allergens in food is a matter of increasing importance for the food
industry, especially in light of recent legislation. Effective handling of allergens
depends on identifying allergenic ingredients, creating separate production lines
for allergen-free products, and effective labelling to inform consumers about which
products are safe to eat. Recent attention has also focused on novel methods to
manage allergens in food, for example by reducing allergenicity through the prudent
selection of raw food materials and improved processing techniques. This important
collection provides a clear introduction to food allergens and allergy and offers a
comprehensive review of current research contributing to safer food production with
regard to allergens.

Part 1 discusses the diagnosis of offending foods and how allergens can affect the
quality of life. Expanding on these fundamentals, Part 2 reviews the effect of
different methods of food processing on allergens and novel technologies which can
reduce the potency of allergens or remove them altogether from foods. The final part
of the book covers the key area of risk assessment and allergen management to
achieve more uniform standards within the industry. Practical strategies to improve
consumer acceptance of GM foods are also discussed.

With its distinguished editors and array of international contributors, Managing
allergens in food is an essential reference for producers, manufacturers, retailers
and all those wishing to improve safety in the food industry.
