Abstract:

Peanut protein is an ideal raw material for food processing, but it is also a food allergen causing high mortality
and serious harm to human health. This article reviews the effects of processing methods on peanut allergenicity. Meanwhile,
methods for evaluating peanut allergenicity both in vitro and in vivo are summarized. This study will hopefully provide
guidance for the development of hypoallergenic or non-allergenic peanut products.

Key words: processing, peanut allergens, allergenicity evaluation
