Abstract
In Japan, disasters often happen such as heavy rain, typhoons, and earthquakes. Emergency food which
is provided for disaster victims contains a lot of contents of wheat. It is well known for causing serious
problems to patients with wheat allergies. Previous research suggests that aspergillus could decompose
wheat gluten because of an enzyme in it. So, we researched whether aspergillus could decompose wheat
globulin and wheat albumin.

Keywords: aspergillus, low allergenization, wheat allergies
