ERA-HDHL Joint Call 2021 FOOD_HYPERSENS

Basic Information

To address how food ingredients and food processing methods can induce or prevent the occurrence of food intolerances and allergies among the consumers. Proposals should include research on one or more of the following topics: - the mechanisms, responsible for inducing or preventing food intolerances and food allergies, both in children and adults (e.g. immunity; inflammation; nutrient metabolism; genetics; microbiota; physiology); - how food processing and food ingredients can modulate the occurrence of food allergies/intolerances; - the development of new approaches to food processing (e.g. novel food ingredients, novel processing methods) to decrease food intolerance/food allergy; - the development and/or validation of diagnostics/methods to distinguish between actual and perceived food intolerances and allergies; - the development and/or validation of detection methods for adverse or beneficial food components generated through food processing.

Aim of the joint call

Food intolerances and food allergies are becoming increasingly common probably due to changes in the living environment, including diets. Individuals suffering from such problems often have to abstain from many food products increasing the risks associated to unbalanced diets. The aim of this call is to understand the mechanisms, responsible for inducing or preventing food intolerances and food allergies, to show how food ingredients and food processing methods can induce or prevent the occurrence of food intolerances and allergies among the consumers, to develop new approaches to decrease food intolerance/food allergy, to develop new diagnostic tools of food allergy/food intolerance and to develop new detection methods to detect adverse or beneficial food components.
