Current state of insect proteins: extraction technologies, bioactive peptides and allergenicity of edible insect proteins

“…In vitro protein digestibility assays are rapid, easy to achieve, relatively cheap, give results similar to in vivo data and have been applied as a useful method to monitor protein digestibility. 31 Several factors such as thermal unfolding, aggregation, carbonyl-amine reactions, cross-linking and interactions with other compounds such as carbohydrates or polyphenols have an impact on protein digestibility; furthermore, the polypeptide chain's accessibility and flexibility also affect protein digestibility. Digestibility values for insect proteins were first reported for edible insects from Mexico, for honeybees (89%), Liómetopum ants (82%), Sphenarium grasshoppers (75%), bees (71.7%), and ants (77.63%).…”

Shaping meat analogues : Ingredients & texture

“…Protein in starch-bearing crops can be extracted through partial fractionation procedures, such as dry fractionation. Dry fractionation has been successfully applied to extract proteins from legumes (Assatory, Vitelli, Rajabzadeh, & Legge, 2019;de Angelis, 2021;Rivera et al, 2022;Saldanha do Carmo et al, 2020;Schutyser, Pelgrom, van der Goot, & Boom, 2015;Xing et al, 2020) and cereals (Hernández-Álvarez, Mondor, & Nosworthy, 2023;Silventoinen, Rommi, Holopainen-Mantila, Poutanen, & Nordlund, 2019;Silventoinen, Sipponen, Holopainen-Mantila, Poutanen, & Sozer, 2018). Dry fractionation is done in several ways, but the first step is always milling of the raw materials.…”
