Functional properties of insect protein concentrates

The table presents the functional properties of insect protein concentrates obtained using different isolation methods for three insect species: Tenebrio molitor, Acheta domesticus, and Locusta migratoria. It includes data on turbidity, color (L*, a*, b*), foamability, and foam stability, showing how different extraction techniques (alkali extraction, salting-in, salting-out, and salting-in/out) affect these properties. The results indicate that salting-out generally improves brightness (L*) and foam stability, with A. domesticus showing the highest foam stability among the tested species.该表格呈现了黄粉虫（Tenebrio molitor）、家蟋蟀（Acheta domesticus）与飞蝗（Locusta migratoria）三种昆虫采用不同分离方法制得的昆虫蛋白浓缩物的功能特性。表格涵盖浊度、颜色（L*、a*、b*）、起泡性与泡沫稳定性相关数据，并揭示了碱提取（alkali extraction）、盐溶（salting-in）、盐析（salting-out）及盐溶-盐析联用法（salting-in/out）等不同提取工艺对上述特性的影响。研究结果表明，盐析法通常可提升样品的亮度（L*值）与泡沫稳定性，其中家蟋蟀在受试昆虫中展现出最高的泡沫稳定性。
