This study aimed to evaluate the impact of simulated digestion on the bioactive properties of protein hydrolysates from black crickets (Gryllus assimilis). Following simulated digestion of the hydrolysate obtained through the application of Flavourzyme, the scavenging activities of ABTS and DPPH radicals, and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) increased by approximately 17 %, 246 %, and 173 %, respectively. For the hydrolysate obtained using the binary combination of Flavourzyme/Neutrase, the inhibitory activities of α-amylase and α-glucosidase after digestion were 47.87 % and 12.73 %, respectively, not significantly (p > 0.05) different from non-digested hydrolysates. The angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity of the sample hydrolyzed with Flavourzyme/Alcalase proteases was 42.22 %, but this property was completely lost after in vitro digestion.

Six yogurt formulations were developed: without and with the addition of L. mucosae CNPC007 (CY and PY, respectively), and with 10 % and 15 % jam (CY10, CY15, PY10, and PY15, respectively). The inclusion of jam enriched the yogurt with phenolic compounds and significantly enhanced antioxidant activity, as measured by FRAP and ABTS assays. The highest values were observed after 28 days of storage in the PY15 formulation (0.177 ± 0.01 and 3.43 ± 0.01 µmol TEAC/g, respectively), compared to CY (0.013 ± 0.01 and 0.19 ± 0.01 µmol TEAC/g, respectively) and PY (0.010 ± 0.01 and 0.23 ± 0.01 µmol TEAC/g, respectively). This increase was likely driven by the presence of anthocyanins and flavonoids in the jam, as indicated by heatmap correlation analysis. DPI and EPI were also influenced by the addition of jam and L. mucosae CNPC007, with EPI increasing in the PY10 and PY15 formulations, reaching approximately 40 % after 28 days. The incorporation of jam resulted in a decrease in the L* (<90) and an increase in the b* (>14) color parameters. Additionally, jam-enriched formulations exhibited higher syneresis and lower water retention capacity (WRC) throughout storage compared to control formulations, with average syneresis exceeding 26 % and WRC falling below 75 % after 28 days. In general, all yogurt formulations showed a reduction in lactose, an increase in glucose and galactose, and the production of lactic acid during storage.

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, polarized light microscopy, X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, and dynamic shear rheometry were then used to evaluate the effects of the different oleogelators and astaxanthin on the physicochemical properties of the oleogels.

In addition, the digestive behavior of the oleogels was evaluated using a three-stage in vitro gastrointestinal model.

Consequently, enhancing the incorporation of BA into starch-based food is a crucial strategy for achieving these objectives. The concentration of guest BA plays a critical role in the hydrophobic interaction-induced complexation with V-amylose, and understanding the structural changes involved in this process is essential for the design of optimal products. In this study, V-amylose derived from high-amylose lotus starch was utilized to form complexes with BA. The structure and in vitro digestibility of the complexes formed at varying BA concentrations were investigated. The results demonstrate that higher BA concentrations weakened the hydrophobic interactions in the V-amylose system. Nevertheless, the highest complex index (i.e., 11.7 g/100 g) of V-amylose was attained at a 50 % BA concentration, indicating a balance between BA-regulated hydrophobic aggregation and the density of BA during complexation.
