Isolation and proteomic characterization of tropomyosin extracted from edible insect protein
Edible insects are considered promising sustainable protein sources. Thermal treatments and proteolysis are commonly used to improve their safety and quality. However, their allergenicity remains mostly unexplored. Tropomyosin, a major insect pan-allergen, can be used to study processing effects on...

Edible insects are considered promising sustainable protein sources. Thermal treatments and proteolysis are commonly used to improve their safety and quality. However, their allergenicity remains mostly unexplored. Tropomyosin, a major insect pan-allergen, can be used to study processing effects on its immunoreactivity. In this study, selective precipitation was used to extract tropomyosin from heated and protease-treated crickets. Immunoinformatics predicted 31 epitope regions, while proteomic analysis suggested decreased amounts of intact epitope regions in microwave-heated/protease-treated crickets. Tropomyosin peptide sequences were identified in higher abundance in convection-heated samples. Finally, tropomyosin immunoreactivity by immunoblotting and ELISA, revealed that protease treatments under microwave heating had lower (p < 0.05) IgE and IgG reactivity. Based on results, processing insects using proteolysis and microwave-heating could be effective for generating hypoallergenic cricket protein ingredients. The use of proteomics and bioinformatics proved to be useful tools in understanding the impact of processing on allergenic reactivity of insect proteins. |
