This study was carried out to evaluate the application of food irradiation technology as a method for reducing milk allergies. Bovine $\alpha$-casein, $\beta$-casein, $textsc{k}$-casein, $\alpha$-lactalbumin(ALA), $\beta$-lactoglobulin (BLG) and serum albumin (BSA) were used as model allergens of milk proteins and the proten solution (2.0 mg/mL) with 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.4) was irradiated at 3, 5 and 10 kGy. Using milk-hypersensitive patients IgE (MHP-IgE), the changes of binding ability to irradiated proteins were observed by competitive indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (Ci-ELISA). Affinity of MHP-IgE to milk proteins was higher in ALA and BLG than that of other proteins. Standard curve to each non-irradiated protein could be made with MHP-IgE for quantifying milk allergens. Binding abilities of MHP-IgE to the irradiated proteins, however, decreased with different slopes of the standard curves. Sensitivity of gamma irradiation was higher in ALA and BLG than of other proteins. These results indicated that irradiation technology can be used to reduce the milk hypersensitivity.
