Relationship Between Food Allergy and Human Health—2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Based on the success of first volume of Special Issue Relationship Between Food Allergy and Human Health (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/nutrients/special_issues/IG3L7R65EY), We hereby announce Relationship Between Food Allergy and Human Health—2nd Edition.

The research field of food allergy is experiencing an important development with essential advances in the understanding of the pathophysiology of food allergy, sensitization routes, and the roles that specific immune cells, receptors, and pathways have in the initiation, development, and regulation of food allergies. Novel insights on allergen characterization are not only providing advances in the description of new allergens and their properties, but they are also creating accurate maps of the epitopes recognized by IgE.

Chemical and biochemical characterization and the evaluation of their biological activities go deeper into the relationship between structure and activity of food compounds in terms of their allergenicity. Their gastrointestinal digestibility, bioavailability, benefits and risks for human health are crucial and should be determined.

Your contribution to this Special Issue, in which you are invited to share your findings and insights in the form of research articles, reviews, or short communications, will be a valuable asset and a compelling contribution that will potentially have an important impact on the field of food allergy.
