Food reactions are immediate or delayed. Immediate reactions involve food antigens and IgE antibodies, triggering mast cells and basophils. Delayed reactions have diverse mechanisms, with potential for increased public interest due to evolving food sources.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Food Science
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Adverse food reactions are categorized into immediate and delayed types.
  • Immediate reactions are IgE-mediated, involving mast cells and basophils.
  • Delayed reactions exhibit greater diversity in symptoms and underlying biological mechanisms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an overview of the classification and mechanisms of adverse food reactions.
  • To highlight the potential for increased public interest in food reactions.
  • To discuss the impact of evolving food sources and biotechnology on food antigens.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and synthesis of existing knowledge on food allergy and intolerance.
  • Analysis of the immunological pathways involved in immediate and delayed food reactions.

  • Discussion of the role of food antigens (proteins, glycoproteins) and modern biotechnology.

    • Main Results:

    • Immediate food reactions are characterized by a specific IgE-mediated pathway.
    • Delayed food reactions encompass a broader range of immunological and non-immunological mechanisms.
    • Changes in food composition due to biotechnology may influence the landscape of adverse food reactions.

    Conclusions:

    • Understanding the distinct mechanisms of immediate and delayed food reactions is crucial.
    • The evolving nature of food sources and processing necessitates ongoing research into adverse food reactions.
    • Increased public awareness and interest in food reactions are anticipated.
