Enzymatic treatment of peanut kernels to reduce allergen levels

► Enzymatic treatment of roasted peanut boosted protein solubility and reduced allergens. ► Blanching of roasted peanut enhanced the efficiency of enzymatic treatment. ► Enzymatic treatment was less effective in reducing allergens in raw peanut. ► Post-harvest treatment has the potential to produce peanut with reduced allergenicity. ► Absence of allergenic potential in treated peanut needs to be confirmed in vivo.
