This pitfall has encouraged researchers to revalue the natural diversity of cultivated and non-cultivated wheat genotypes in light of their different toxic\/immunogenic potential for celiac disease and wheat-allergic patients. In the present investigation, an advanced proteomic approach was designed for the global characterization of the protein profile of selected tetraploid wheat genotypes (Triticum turgidum). The approach combined proteins\/peptides sequence information retrieved by specific enzymatic digestions (single and dual proteolytic enzymes) with protein digestibility information disclosed by means of in-vitro simulated human gastroduodenal digestion experiments. In both cases, the peptide pools were characterized by discovery analysis with liquid chromatography high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry, and specific amino acid sequences were identified via commercial software. The peptide list was screened for in silico toxicity\/immunogenicity risk assessment, with the aid of various open-source bioinformatics tools for epitopes matching. Given the global information provided by the designed proteomic approach, the in silico risk assessment not only tackled toxicity implication for celiac disease patients, but also scouted for immunogenic sequences relevant for wheat allergic patients, achieving a comprehensive characterization of the protein profile of the selected genotypes. These latter were assessed to encrypt a variable number of toxic\/immunogenic epitopes for celiac disease and wheat allergy, and as such they could represent convenient bases for breeding practices and for the development of new detoxification strategies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu11102321","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,1]],"date-time":"2019-10-01T11:11:16Z","timestamp":1569928276000},"page":"2321","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["A Comprehensive Peptidomic Approach to Characterize the Protein Profile of Selected Durum Wheat Genotypes: Implication for Coeliac Disease and Wheat Allergy"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6789-1472","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rosa","family":"Pilolli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Sciences of Food Production, CNR-ISPA, 70126 Bari, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6312-249X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Agata","family":"Gadaleta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Sciences of Food Production, CNR-ISPA, 70126 Bari, Italy"},{"name":"DiSAAT, Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Bari Aldo Moro, 70126 Bari, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3552-2370","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luigia","family":"Di Stasio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Food Sciences, CNR-ISA, 83100 Avellino, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Antonella","family":"Lamonaca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Sciences of Food Production, CNR-ISPA, 70126 Bari, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1290-4544","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elisabetta","family":"De Angelis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Sciences of Food Production, CNR-ISPA, 70126 Bari, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7289-1143","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Domenica","family":"Nigro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"DiSSPA, Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Bari Aldo Moro, 70126 Bari, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2010-884X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria","family":"De Angelis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"DiSSPA, Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Bari Aldo Moro, 70126 Bari, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0394-7617","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gianfranco","family":"Mamone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Food Sciences, CNR-ISA, 83100 Avellino, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5650-7909","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Linda","family":"Monaci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Sciences of Food Production, CNR-ISPA, 70126 Bari, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"67","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jfca.2018.07.012","article-title":"Immunogenic and allergenic profile of wheat flours from different technological qualities revealed by ion mobility mass spectrometry","volume":"73","author":"Alves","year":"2018","journal-title":"J.
