Phenolic Compounds from Cricket Powder and Its Protein Extract after Passing through the Simulated In vitro Digestion
Abstract:
Phenolic compounds found in edible insects is due to plant-derived phenolics present
in their diet and the ability of insects to synthesize through the sclerotization process.
This study aimed to examine the loss of phenolic compounds from cricket powder (CP)
and cricket crude protein extract (CCP) after passing through the simulated in vitro
digestion. CCP was prepared by alkali extraction of CP, followed by isoelectric point
precipitation at pH 4.0. The protein content of CP and CCP was determined as 54.95
and 61.12% dry basis (d.b.), respectively, with moisture content approx. 3-5%. The
total phenolic content (TPC) via Folin-Ciocalteus reagent of both samples were
measured. CP contained less TPC than CCP at the respective 5.87 and 30.64 mg gallic
acid equivalent (GAE)/g. Gallic acid, isoquercetin, quercetin and tannic acid were
phenolic compounds found in both CP and CCP. During the simulated in vitro
digestion, TPC in both samples dramatically reduced after passing the gastric condition
at pH 3. The TPC at small intestinal condition at pH 7 of CCP reduced whereas that
of CP slightly increased. As phenolic compounds have been widely known for their
antioxidant activity, thus DPPH and FRAP antioxidant assays were used for the
assessment in this study. The results showed that the reduction of antioxidant activity
was in proportion to TPC. Suggesting that the pH and digestive enzymes could affect
the loss of phenolic compounds in CP and CCP.
