Summary

The appearance of the 18 and 31 kDa apple allergens among different varieties of apple (Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, McIntosh and Granny Smith) and the change in the concentrations of the allergens during storage and after canning were investigated. Apples stored at 4 deg C up to 86-130 days showed an increase in 18 and 31 kDa allergens. However, ripening under controlled atmosphere did not show any correlation between the ripening process and the concentration of antigens. The heating and canning process destroyed the allergens in Golden Delicious apples. It was concluded that the allergens may be induced by factors related to disease resistance.
