Table 2 shows that IC50 values were similar for
samples subjected to high-pressure treatment in the absence of
PBS (p > 0.05). Treatment in the presence of PBS, especially at
500 and 580 MPa, decreased the IC50 values by 42- and 74-times,
respectively. As with the autoclaved samples, the immunoreactivity
of the almond proteins showed greater sensitivity to highpressure
treatment than protein solubility.
