Kiwifruit contain allergens that can cause allergic responses in susceptible consumers 獼猴桃中含量蛋白質(zhì) 被認(rèn)為是引起過(guò)敏的原因

Kiwifruit contain allergens that can cause allergic responses in susceptible consumers. The response can include swelling and itching of the lips and tongue, swelling of the tongue and throat which can make breathing difficult, rashes, stomach pains and vomiting, itchy nose and eyes, or, at worst, anaphylactic shock requiring urgent medical attention. Fortunately, extreme allergic responses to kiwifruit are not frequent. Kiwifruit allergy is often cross-reactive with other common allergies such as to pollens, particularly birch pollen, latex, housedust mites, and some other tropical fruit. Actinidin, the most abundant protein in kiwifruit, has been postulated as a major cause of kiwifruit allergy but it is not known whether kiwifruit are the primary cause of the allergic reactions, or are secondary to exposure to other allergens.

獼猴桃含有過(guò)敏原，可引起易感消費(fèi)者的過(guò)敏反應(yīng)。反應(yīng)可能包括嘴唇和舌頭的腫脹和瘙癢，舌頭和喉嚨的腫脹會(huì)使呼吸困難，皮疹，胃痛和嘔吐，鼻子和眼睛瘙癢，或者最壞的情況下，過(guò)敏性休克需要緊急醫(yī)療護(hù)理。幸運(yùn)的是，獼猴桃的極端過(guò)敏反應(yīng)并不常見。獼猴桃過(guò)敏通常與其他常見過(guò)敏反應(yīng)交叉反應(yīng)，如花粉，尤其是樺樹花粉、乳膠、屋塵螨和其他一些熱帶水果。獼猴桃中含量最豐富的蛋白質(zhì)獼猴桃素被認(rèn)為是引起獼猴桃過(guò)敏的主要原因，但目前尚不清楚獼猴桃是過(guò)敏反應(yīng)的主要原因還是繼發(fā)于接觸其他過(guò)敏原。
