Wyzwania i rozważania in Fermented Allergen- Free Foods
While fermentation offers many benefits, several obstacles must be overcome to bring safe, scalable products to o market.
Nieukończone Allergen Elimination
Fermentation can reduce, but rarely completely eliminate, allergenic proteins. The residual levels may still trigger reactions in highly sensitivy individuals. Therefore, products that rely on fermentation as the sole allergen- reduction strategy mutt carry clear labeling (e.g., quantity; processed to reduce allergens indicut;) and undergours testing.
