After processing, immunoassays showed 100 percent inactivation of peanut allergens in whole roasted kernels, and the processed peanuts showed no reaction in tests on human serums from severely allergic individuals.
According to Dr. Ahmedna - associate professor of food science in N.C. A&T's School of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences:
"We are extremely pleased that we were able to find such a simple solution to a vexing problem that has enormous economic and public health ramifications, both for peanut sensitive individuals, and the food industry as a whole"
Quite interesting eh? Now, Dr. Ahmedna and his team are optimizing the process for removal of allergens in other foods.
