黄粉虫在食品领域的应用及研究进展

黄粉虫(Tenebrio molitor L.)作为一种营养丰富的可食用昆虫受到食品领域的广泛关注。该文简要介绍了黄粉虫原料的加工过程并从黄粉虫的宏量营养素、氨基酸组成和脂肪酸组成简述其营养价值。黄粉虫原料的添加不仅能够增加食品的营养价值,也会对食品加工过程中材料的加工性质产生影响。该文介绍了近年研究黄粉虫粉对面团及烘焙制品和模拟肉制品影响的相关研究,探讨黄粉虫油在食品煎炸应用的前景以及黄粉虫蛋白的功能特性。最后从致敏性、微生物污染和消费者接受度等方面讨论黄粉虫在食品领域应用的挑战和发展前景,可为黄粉虫等食用昆虫应用于食品领域新产品开发提供新思路。

A review of nutriology of food hydrocolloids

Most current commercially important hydrocolloids could be considered as dietary fibers.A great deal of research has focused on the bio-function of hydrocolloid materials resulting from their chemical structure,including antioxidant properties,bacteriostatic capacity and cancer prevention.However,the colloidal properties of hydrocolloids in water-holding,high viscosity,gelling and indigestion,which are characterized by macromolecules,also contribute to the human health.Therefore,the nutritional value of hydrocolloids deriving from their colloid properties is defined as colloid nutriology.More specifically,hydrocolloids in this study refer to dietary fibers which are metabolically inert or fermented in the colon or large intestine.Based on this conception,this mini-review attempts to elaborate the nutritional value of hydrocolloids resulting from its colloidal properties.
