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...
