Allergies et intolérances alimentaires - Fiches pratiques sur les 14 allergènes majeurs: Fiches pratiques sur les 14 allergènes majeurs - Paperback

by Nathalie Cayot (Author), Philippe Cayot (Author)

Allergies and food intolerances have been on the rise over the past few decades, under the influence of geographical and cultural factors but also due to eating habits. There are two forms of undesirable reactions to food: those based on immunological mechanisms (mainly allergies) or non-immunological (intolerance). If changes must be made in our everyday eating habits, the fact remains that future professionals seem somewhat unarmed: lack of knowledge, confusion between allergy and intolerance, difficulties in substituting ingredients in some recipes. Intended primarily for the professionals of the food industry, the aim of this book is manifold: provide comprehensive and clear vision on the subject; give information on the manufactured products and cooking aids that may contain allergens; provide useful technical solutions to adapt recipes to allergic and intolerant consumers. Built in the form of practical fact sheets, by types of allergies or intolerances, the book gives all the keys to deal with different situations.
