The growing world population necessitates the implementation of appropriate processing technologies for edible insects. objective this study was to examine impact distinct drying techniques, including convective at 70 °C (70CD) and 90 (90CD) freeze-drying (FD), on kinetics, physical characteristics (water activity, color), chemical (chemical composition, amino acid profile, oil properties, total polyphenol content antioxidant mineral FTIR), presence hazards (allergens, microorganisms) blanched yellow mealworm larvae. process results in greater lightness reduced moisture water activity. demonstrated that freeze-dried insects exhibited lower contents protein essential acids as compared convective-dried lowest polyphenols found larvae; however, highest activity determined those Although isolated from peroxide values, it proved have PUFA oxidative stability. All samples met microbiological criteria dried demonstrate a high temperature during CD method does not result anticipated undesirable changes. It appears is optimal preserving nutritional value insects, particularly with regard quality oil.

Meat delicatessen products, including pâtés, are important for consumers’ daily diets. However, due to the complex recipe composition, pâtés can also contain allergens such as gluten. Simultaneously, powdered edible insects increasingly used reformulate food products. Therefore, paper aimed investigate feasibility of replacing wheat flour (total content: 9% w/w) with yellow mealworm powder (3:0, 2:1, 1:2, and 0:3) in chicken pork determine its effect on their quality properties. The rheological properties pâté batter, well texture, color parameters, microbiological sensory characteristics were assessed. All prepared batters identified weak gels. Furthermore, all examined met requirements. Adding formulation weakened structure, resulting significantly lower shear force increased spreadability. In addition, it led a darker more gray pâtés. It may be seen indicating no preservatives or resembling typical pâté. has been demonstrated that complete replacement insect reduced

Edible insects offer opportunities for food production, as they are an interesting source of many nutrients. In this study, the effect pulsed electric field (PEF) and convective drying on chemical composition with emphasizing fat properties well physical, techno-functional, thermal yellow mealworm powders was investigated. The differed by PEF. When PEF applied at 20 40 kJ/kg, moisture, ash, protein content were significantly lower, while extraction yield increased compared to control sample. Furthermore, extracted from these samples characterized a higher proportion saturated monounsaturated fatty acids thrombogenicity index, which is not beneficial nutritional point view. After treatment 5 powder lightest, redness yellowness. Moreover, highest hygroscopicity, water activity, oil binding capacity determined. results revealed that good macronutrients exhibit techno-functional properties, nevertheless, drawback their high cohesiveness (1.27–1.44), can be difficult apply under industrial conditions.

Insect-based food ingredients are emerging as sustainable protein sources, but their production requires ensuring microbial safety and inactivation of endogenous enzymes to avoid undesirable proteolysis, without compromising structure. While traditional thermal processing affects the structure, potential pulsed electric field (PEF) technology inactivate microorganisms in lesser mealworm house cricket slurries at pH 3 while simultaneously retaining native structure is yet unexplored. Lesser were subjected continuous batch PEF treatments with varying intensities (0-450 kJ/kg). Microbial (aerobes, anaerobes, yeasts, moulds), temperature changes, solubility, (SDS-PAGE FTIR), protease activity assessed. For both insect species, high-intensity (>150 kJ/kg) achieved up 5 log reduction, increased temperatures 75 °C, altering Low-intensity did not affect conformation activity, was effective (<1 reduction). We conclude that can effectively microorganisms, it cannot be considered a non-thermal method for present sample conditions due increase higher intensities. could well-suitable incorporation hurdle techniques, such combinations moderate heating. Future research should investigate synergistic effects PEF, also using alternative set-ups, other mild techniques preserving Furthermore, optimal enhanced solubility explored.

Since the legalization of insect protein in pet food, a variety products incorporating this ingredient have emerged on market. Although edible insects are acknowledged for high content, chitin can also elevate quantity indigestible carbohydrates. The objective study was to evaluate nutritional adequacy fourteen complete dog foods containing accordance with FEDIAF guidelines. Due use as predominant animal component all diets, analyses dietary fiber fractions were carried out estimate content included assessment chemical composition, calcium, and phosphorus levels metabolizable energy. findings then compared data provided by manufacturers. All diets found meet minimum recommended from guidelines (18.0 g/100 g DM) fat (5.5 DM). However, discrepancies noted between label analysis results. results fraction differed crude which is consistent imprecision inherent determination method. In one there discrepancy up 19.21 NDF content. Calcium inadequate two foods, furthermore, twelve exhibited an abnormal calcium/phosphorus ratio. These indicate that while be valuable source, their inclusion may lead increased carbohydrates, potentially causing digestive issues gastric discomfort dogs.
