Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The formation of stable aggregates by food proteins is associated with allergenicity. In particular, amyloid formation by the fish allergen parvalbumin was recently shown to favor IgE binding and subsequent allergic recognition. Therefore, reducing amyloid content in an allergenic food might offer a direct way to make that food less likely to trigger an allergy. In this project, protein aggregation and amyloid formation were studied in milk using gel electrophoresis and fluorescence-based assays. The results suggested that ordinary pasteurized milk from the grocery store contained protein aggregates and specifically amyloid. Processing the milk as normally done during food preparation did not appreciably affect general aggregation or amyloid formation. However, the addition of some polyphenol-containing food products to the milk appeared to result in reduced amyloid levels. Moreover, cranberry juice also appeared to reduce amyloid formation by the milk protein casein. These results suggest that the addition of cranberry or other polyphenol-rich foods to milk products for young children may reduce the risk of milk allergy development by diminishing protein aggregation.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
