Abstrakt

Buckwheat allergy is an immediate hypersensitivity reaction that includes anaphylaxis mediated by specific IgE antibodies. Several IgE-binding proteins in common buckwheat have been reported to be possible clinically relevant buckwheat allergens. Although common buckwheat is popularly consumed in Asia, buckwheat allergy is becoming a serious problem not only in Asia but also in Europe. In addition, common buckwheat has also been found to be a causative agent of allergic symptoms in animals. In recent years, in addition to conventional food allergy testing methods, the development of component-resolved diagnosis (CRD) has improved the diagnostic accuracy of food allergy. The identification of allergens is essential for the construction of CRD. In this review, we introduce the different types of buckwheat allergens and discuss how each buckwheat allergen contributes to the diagnosis of buckwheat allergy. We also present the analysis of buckwheat allergen that will help reduce the allergenicity of common buckwheat and reduce buckwheat allergen molecules. These findings may be beneficial in overcoming buckwheat allergies in humans and animals.
