Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition comprising Nardostachys jatamanse extract as an active ingredient for preventing, alleviating, or treating a Th1-mediated immune disease or a Th2-mediated immune disease. According to the present invention, the Nardostachys jatamanse extract has IL-4 inhibition, degranulation inhibition of mast cells, and differentiation to Treg cells inducing activities, thereby capable of preventing, alleviating, or treating the Th1-mediated immune disease or the Th2-mediated immune disease.
Abstract:
The present invention relate to a method to reduce allergenicity of rice by treating protease selected from a group composed of alkalase, alkaline protease, and a combination thereof on grains. According to the present invention, by treating alkalase or alkaline protease; allergenicity of grains, especially rice, can be reduced up to 10^3. Accordingly, the present invention can significantly contribute to the prevention of allergic diseases by food causing food-allergies; especially by rice.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for reducing allergenicity by treating the grains at 90-130°C of heat. The present invention provides a method to efficiently reduce allergenicity of the grains; especially for rice using heat-treatment. According to the present invention, it is possible to reduce allergenicity of grains, especially rice up to 10^5 times and the content of protein maintains more than 50% of the grains before allergenicity reduction thereby providing grains where the nutrients are not depleted. The present invention, especially by rice, greatly contributes to the prevention of allergic diseases by foods causing food allergy.
