Effects of Blanching Methods on Nutritional Properties and Physicochemical Characteristics of Hot-Air Dried Edible Insect Larvae

Jae Hoon Lee et al.

Summary: Global meat consumption is increasing while supply is lacking. Alternative protein sources, including cultured meat, plant-based protein, and edible insects, have been proposed. Edible insects are characterized by superior digestive and absorptive qualities. This study investigated the effects of different pre-treatment methods on protein extracted from Hermetia illucens larvae. Blanching and superheated steam pre-treatments were found to be the most effective methods to improve processing properties.

Yellow mealworm (Tenebrio Molitor) enhances intestinal immunity in largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) via the NF?B/survivin signaling pathway

Chunyu Ge et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the mechanisms of yellow mealworm in intestinal immunity and health. It was found that low concentration of yellow mealworm feed reduced proinflammatory cytokines, while high concentration had negative impact on intestinal health. Further experiments revealed that yellow mealworm feed enhanced intestinal immunity and improved health by activating NF-κBp65 and upregulating survivin expression.

Immunomodulatory activity of egg yolk protein hydrolysates prepared by novel two-step hydrolysis: A study of mechanism and stability after in vitro digestion model

Jae Hoon Lee et al.

Summary: This study found that egg yolk protein hydrolysates have immunomodulatory activity and can enhance the activity and antibacterial ability of macrophages. It activates macrophages through the TLR-2/p38/JNK pathway, increasing the production of nitric oxide, tumor necrosis factor, and interleukin, as well as enhancing phagocytic activity. This study suggests that egg yolk protein hydrolysates can be used as functional food ingredients with immunomodulatory activity in the food industry.

Characterization of Cooked Meat Models using Grasshopper (Sphenarium purpurascens) Soluble Protein Extracted by Alkalisation and Ultrasound as Meat-Extender

Salvador Osvaldo Cruz-Lopez et al.

Summary: The effect of substituting meat with a soluble protein extract from grasshoppers on the characteristics of sausages was evaluated in this study. The alkalisation-piezoelectric ultrasound method improved the solubility and techno-functional properties of the grasshopper protein. The sensory evaluation indicated that a formulation with 5% meat substitution was as acceptable as the control sample. Therefore, the soluble protein treated with alkalisation and piezoelectric ultrasound could be used as an extender in meat products.

Macrophage activation by exopolysaccharides from Streptococcus thermophilus fermented milk through TLRs-mediated NF-ΚB and MAPK pathways

Wei Xu et al.

Summary: This study found that EPS-3A, a lactic acid bacteria-derived exopolysaccharide, can activate macrophages through the MAPK and NF-kappa B signaling pathways, thereby promoting immune responses. The results also suggest that the recognition of EPS-3A is partially mediated by TLR2 and TLR4 receptors.

Effects of organic solvent on functional properties of defatted proteins extracted from Protaetia brevitarsis larvae

Tae-Kyung Kim et al.

Summary: The study found that defatting with n-hexane resulted in the highest efficiency and best technical properties of the extracted proteins, while defatting with ethanol could achieve similar foam and emulsifying capacities. The surface hydrophobicity of proteins decreased with the use of organic solvents, and excessive fat content disrupted their functional properties.
