Effects of Enzymatic Hydrolysis on the Functional Properties, Antioxidant Activity and Protein Structure of Black Soldier Fly () Protein.

The effects of chemical protein extraction, and enzymatic hydrolysis with Alcalase, papain and pepsin, on the functional properties, antioxidant activity, amino acid composition and protein structure of black soldier fly () larval protein were examined. Alcalase hydrolysates had the highest degree of hydrolysis ( 0.05), with the highest hydrolysate and oil fraction yield ( < 0.
