Mass spectrometry analysis and in silico prediction of allergenicity of peptides in tryptic hydrolysates of the proteins from Ruditapes philippinarum.

The abundant peptide information contributes to further investigations of the structure and potential function of R. philippinarum. Additional in vitro studies are required to demonstrate and ensure the correct production of the hydrolysates for use in the food industry with respect to R. philippinarum. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry.
