- Abstract
The article presents a study investigating the digestibility and gastrointestinal absorption of rice allergens (RAs). The digestibility of rice allergens and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was evaluated by in vitro incubation with proteases. Oral administration of RAs showed them intact in the small intestine even after 60 minutes of administration. The results suggested that RAs are resistant to digestive enzymes and only a fraction is absorbed into the body.
