Abstract:

Food allergy is an important food safety issue, and has received more attention recently. Animal models of food
allergy are not only necessary to pursue the mechanisms and potential treatments of food allergy, but also become a useful
approach to accurate identification and assessment of food allergens. Common animal models of food allergy and their
allergic pathways, biological detection methods and allergenicity evaluation are reviewed in this paper.

Key words: food allergy, animal model, allergen detection, allergenicity assessment
