Milk allergy is one of the most common food allergies, in which αS-casein is the major milk allergen. Under optimized conditions, mixed starter (containing Lactobacillus plantarum 7-2 and commercial starter) effectively degraded αS-casein of skimmed milk and reduced the pressure of stomach digestion. The fermented milk prepared by mixed starter was determined by ELISA, the antigenicity of αS-casein was reduced by 77.53%. Compared with the fermented milk prepared by commercial starter, label-free quantitative proteomics demonstrated that the mixed starter more efficiently degraded the epitopes of major milk allergens and influenced the digestion pattern of the fermented milk. Therefore, L. plantarum 7-2 shows positive potential in reducing the antigenicity of αS-casein and others. In addition, this study predicted that the new epitopes produced in the fermentation process could induce immunity using molecular simulation.
