Shrimp allergy is a serious public health problem. Epidemiological studies indicated the main cause of food allergy is the ingestion of shrimp and crab. Consequently, reducing the risk of shrimp and crab allergy is a major research focus. Few studies have demonstrated the effect of enzyme hydrolysis on reduction of shrimp allergens in food. In this study, we used papain, a commonly used enzyme in the food industry, as an ingredient to decrease levels of allergen tropomyosin in shrimp. 0-50U of papain was used to treat the shrimp meat, and then heated to measure the levels of tropomyosin, and determined the change of the protein secondary structure. The results showed that 20U of papain decrease the tropomyosin levels up to 80 %, which was further enhanced when combined with 3 min of heating. Furthermore, the result of Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) showed alteration of secondary protein structure after the processing. The processing developed in this study may be an effective method used to change the levels and structure of tropomyosin.
