Crusha Milkshake Mix Banana Flavour 1 Litre

Product Information

Unfortunately, there is scarce data on the occurrence of banana allergy in different age groups and geographical areas. It seems that, although it is not among the top-5 food allergies, it cannot be considered as a rare allergy, neither in children nor in adults. Certainly, it is much more frequent among specific groups of patients, as for example subjects allergic to latex, to pollens, or to plant-derived foods. In the same way, the development of banana allergy is not known, as long-term follow up of banana allergic patients have not been conducted. Nevertheless, clinical data suggests that patients allergic to banana should assume a lifelong avoidance diet, since – to our knowledge - patients outgrowing banana allergy have not been reported. Fresh banana (Rodriguez et al 1993) [ 492], (Blanco et al 1994) [ 288] [ 287], (Mäkinen-Kiljunen 1994) [ 405], (Alenius et al 1996) [ 5], (Delbourg et al 1996) [ 42], (Grob et al. 2002) [ 600]

Latex is the milky sap of Hevea brasiliensis tree, which is processed to manufacture multiple products, including gloves, condoms and balloons. Latex allergy has been recognized as a very important health problem, due to increase in frequency, and to its ability to induce severe reactions. It is noteworthy that as much as 50% of latex allergic patients may have cross-allergic reactions to certain plant-derived foods (mainly banana, chestnut, avocado and kiwi), a condition known as the latex-fruit syndrome. Allergens responsible for this syndrome seem to be a group of shared plant proteins, to which patients react. Allergy Information: Banana allergy can take two different forms: one associated with allergy to tree pollen, such as birch, and another type associated with latex allergy. People with birch-pollen allergy can develop symptoms either immediately or up to 1 hour after eating fresh banana or a banana-containing food. Symptoms comprise local reactions in the mouth and throat with itching and inflammation (called oral allergy syndrome, OAS). There are only few studies on the stability of profilins most of them on celery profilin. Compared to other allergens, profilin is a moderately stable protein, more resistant than Bet v 1 homologues but less stable than lipid transfer proteins or corss-reactive carbohydrate deteminants of glycoporein allergens. of the patients showed IgE binding to banana extract. IgE binding occurred mainly at 19 kDa (21%, 4/19), 33 kDa (88%, 15/19), 37 kDa (76%, 13/19), 39 kDa (21%, 4/19), and 40 kDa (26%, 5/19) (Delbourg et al. 1996) [ 42] IgE reactivity to profilin in pollen-sensitized subjects with adverse reactions to banana and pineapple.

Asero et al (2003) [ 582] found that 24 out of 71 patients were sensitized to Bet v 1, 18 out of 71 patients were sensitized to Bet v 2 (profilin) and 25 out of 71 patients were sensitized to both. Of these 2/24, 12/18 and 9/25 were sensitized to banana. Thus 66% of patients sensitized to Bet v 2 only were sensitized to banana. latex-allergic patients and 22 control subjects with no evidence of allergy to latex or to banana.

Hevein-like protein domains as a possible cause for allergen cross-reactivity between latex and banana. out of 4 patients allergic to natural rubber latex had a positive reaction to a 32-kDa banana protein (Mikkola rt al. 1998) [ 418] Amino terminal sequencing revealed that both the 32- and 33-kDa proteins (16 residues analyzed) had 80% identity to the N-terminus of hevein (Mikkola et al. 1998) [ 418]

Banana extracts (Delbourg et al. 1996) [ 42], (Alenius et al. 1996) [ 5], (Asero et al. 2003) [ 582] patients with asthma; 2 with rhinitis; 2 with eczema; 3 with urticaria; 2 with angioedema and 2 with OAS (Makinen-Kiljunen 1994) [ 405]Banana is the crescent-shaped edible fruit of any of several species of the musaceous genus Musa, which are tropical and subtropical herbaceous tree-like plants. Meanwhile, Plantain specifically refers to the fruit of Musa paradisiaca, a large tropical musaceous plant, eaten as a staple food in many tropical regions. World banana production is about 65 million tonnes per year, concentrated in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and Latin America, due to climatic conditions. In Europe, estimated yearly consumption varies among countries, from 5 to 10 kg/capita in the Mediterranean area and the Netherlands, to more than 15 kg/capita in Sweden. The banana RAST was positive in 12 out of 14 latex-allergic patients studied (Alenius et al. 1996) [ 5] Crossreactivity between allergens in natural rubber latex and banana studied by immunoblot inhibition. The positive results of the tests were designated as follows: + < 1/2; positive surface reference (histamine control: 10 mg/ml), ++ > 1/2; positive reference, +++ > positive reference, and ++++ > twice reference (Lavaud et al 1995) [ 102]. On 5 March 2014, Crusha rebranded fully, scrapping "Errol's Crew" and giving Errol a younger appearance, with kittens doing stunts to make Crusha. [12] The flavour selection rebranded to just raspberry, strawberry and chocolate, with a new No Added Sugar version of the chocolate flavour.

Two sera reacted strongly with protein at 32 and 34 kDa and a third patient sensitised to avocado and banana but not to pollen or latex reacted to a 70 kDa band. The fourth patient was sensitised to birch pollen but not to latex reacted with recombinant banana profilin (Grob et al. 2002) [ 600] IgE from 9/10 group 2 (fruit and latex allergy) sera reacted to banana proteins. The most important allergen in the extract was at about 30 kDa. A minor band was found at 35 kDa in one serum. Two sera from group 1 (monoallergy to latex) reacted with the 30 kDa protein (Lavaud et al. 1995) [ 102]Pieces of fresh banana were homogenized with 30% (v/v) acetonitrile (ACN) containing 0.1% (v/v) trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). The homogenate was stirred overnight at 4°C and centrifuged at 5000 x g for 30 minutes, and the supernatant was filtered through a 0.45-µm membrane (Millex HV; Millipore, Molsheim, France), concentrated 10-fold under vacuum, and filtered again through a 0.45-µm membrane (Millex HV). To remove pectin, the preparation was chromatographed in an HPLC column (ReSource RPC, 3 mL; Pharmacia, Uppsala, Sweden) by using a linear gradient of ACN (0% to 100% in 15 minutes). Banana proteins were purified by reversed phase chromatography on a ReSource RPC 3 mL column by using a linear gradient of ACN (20% to 60% in 60 minutes) in 0.1% TFA at a flow rate of 1 mL/min (Mikkola et al. 1998) [ 418] The pulp of banana was extract with NTE 1N solution: NaCl 1mol/L, Tris 0,1mol/lL ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid 0.01mol/L (Lavaud et al 1995) [ 102] In 2020, The Lime flavour was reintroduced as a limited edition product, with it being available in No Added Sugar for the first time. patients with anaphylaxis, 6 cases with angioedema/urticaria, 2 cases with vomits, one case with bronchial asthma, and another case with rhinoconjuntivitis (Blanco et al. 1994) [ 287].
