The effects of chemical protein extraction, and enzymatic hydrolysis with Alcalase, papain pepsin, on the functional properties, antioxidant activity, amino acid composition structure black soldier fly (H. illucens) larval were examined. Alcalase hydrolysates had highest degree (p < 0.05), hydrolysate oil fraction yield 0.05). Pepsin showed lowest holding capacity whereas no significant differences observed among other enzymes concentrates > emulsifying stability foam significantly...
We evaluated the bacteria occurring externally on Musca domestica and Chrysomya megacephala, two most common synanthropic flies which may be found at many refuse sites throughout world. Bacteria cultured from 10 specimens of each species were isolated, Gram-stained examined microscopically, divided into morphologically distinct ‘pseudospecies', to avoid excessive duplication genetic identification. About 350 bp 16S ribosomalRNAgene was amplified genomicDNAextracted sequenced, identified...
