Chitosan (CS) has limited capacity for Ca(II)-adsorption abilities. Here, glutaraldehyde cross-linked chitosan (GLA-CTS) and maltose (MAL-CTS) were obtained by physical chemical modifications to improve the adsorption of Ca2+. By comparing kinetics isotherm, capabilities GLA-CTS MAL-CTS reached 112.27 ± 2.63 240.38 31.88 mg/g in presence concentrations 3000 mg/L Ca2+, which about 2.1 4.6 times than CS. The structures resulting calcified complexes profiled SEM, XPS, FT-IR, 13C NMR. Unlike...

Among different insects, the American cockroach (Periplaneta americana) has been bred in industrial scale successfully as a potential resource of protein, lipid, and antibacterial peptide. However, application its chitosan not studied widely, which hindered sufficient utilization P. americana. In this paper, from americana was separated, characterized, processed into film (PaCSF) to examine being applied food packaging. As results characterizations showed, PaCSF similar shrimp (SCSF)....

Insects have a long history of being used in medicine, with clear primary and secondary functions less side effects, the study exploitation medicinal insects received increasing attention. gut microbiota their metabolites play an important role protecting hosts from other potentially harmful microbes, providing nutrients, promoting digestion degradation, regulating growth metabolism hosts. However, there are still few studies linking values microbes. In this study, we focused on specific...

Oxidative stress and obesity are critical risk factors for metabolic syndrome. The consumption of functional food ingredients can a viable strategy to alleviate oxidative obesity. In this study, the hydro-ethanolic extract edible insect Polyrhachis vicina was prepared its bioactive components were characterized. total polyphenol contents, flavonoid antioxidant pancreatic lipase (PL) inhibitory activities determined in vitro . total, 60 tentatively identified P. extract. Polyphenols fatty...

Traditional food packaging films made of plastic have caused serious damage to the environment. Chitosan film is a potential substitute but it weak in antioxidant activity. In this study, extract and chitosan from American cockroach were combined produce new environment-friendly for packaging. The was easily degraded by water, avoiding accumulation addition improved activity did not weaken its efficient antibacterial practical application, packaged protected fast decay oxidation 15 days 48...

The proteins generated from Protaetia brevitarsis extracts using two emptying intestine methods (traditional static method: TSM and salt immersion stress SISM) combined with water (W) 50 % water-alcohol (W:E) were used as examples to investigate the effect of on hypolipidemic peptides P. brevitarsis. Results revealed F-2 fractions enzymatic had stronger in vitro activity, SISM possessing a cholesterol micelle solubility inhibition rate. Moreover, total 106 tentatively identified, among which...

The separation of free fatty acids (FFA) from triglycerides (TG) was necessary for diet and biofuel production purposes. common industrial method neutralization by alkali, which would destroy both FFA TG generate dangerous waste. In this paper, tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) 1,2-propanediol (12P) were used to prepare a deep eutectic solvent (DES) separate simply stirring centrifuging. By adjusting the molar ratio DES water content, could dissolve more easily than TG. This difference in...
