Edible insect honeybee brood and natural honey are rich in proteins saccharides, with inherent bioactive properties such as antioxidant activity. To enhance their antioxidative potential under simple thermal conditions, this research employed spontaneous aging via a moist-dried heating process, primarily driven by the Maillard reaction. Honeybee bio-peptides (HBb-BPs), produced through Rhizopus oligosporus fermentation, were mixed varying ratios of 70:30, 50:50, 30:70 (%w/w). The mixtures...
This study addresses the growing interest in natural functional ingredients by evaluating prebiotic and health-promoting functions of honeybee brood biopeptides (HBb-Bps) their conjugates. The purpose was to investigate antioxidant activities, enzyme inhibition properties, effects on probiotic growth short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production. HBb-Bps were conjugated with honey, glucose, fructose via Maillard reaction. Antioxidant activities assessed using DPPH ABTS assays. inhibitory amylase,...
