Abstract

Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) are gaining attention as an alternative protein source in food and feed, promoting a circular economy, particularly in their dried form. In the literature, monitoring the behavior of larvae in a humid environment has not been established under different conditions of temperature and relative humidity as well as the quality of dried larvae is not always correlated to the conditions of drying. Therefore, this study comprehensively analyses the adsorption–desorption isotherms, drying kinetics, and subsequent quality changes of dried BSFL. Sorption isotherms were assessed at 40, 50, 60, and 70 °C using the gravimetric method, followed by mathematical modelling and determination of thermodynamic variables. Thin-layer drying kinetics were studied in a forced-air oven at the same temperatures, with a subsequent proximate analysis of the dried larvae. Among eight sorption isotherm models evaluated, the Peleg model provided the best fit, revealing type II sorption isotherms with an optimal storage water activity of 0.38. The Page model accurately described the drying kinetics of BSFL across all temperatures. Moisture diffusion coefficients ranged from 6.15 × 10–11 to 2.63 × 10–10 m2/s, with an activation energy of 48.66 kJ/mol. The dried larvae displayed impressive protein levels, varying from 39.67 ± 0.28% to 45.29 ± 0.07%, exceeding the minimum requirements set in the global insect production industry. Higher drying temperatures significantly impacted the proximate composition, reducing larvae quality. These findings underscore the potential of BSFL as a valuable protein source and enhance the understanding of their sorption behavior and quality attributes during drying. This study contributes to the optimization of drying conditions for improving the quality of BSFL as a sustainable protein alternative.

吸附-解吸等温线、干燥动力学和黑兵蝇(Hermetia illucens)幼虫营养质量的综合分析
黑翅大实蝇幼虫(BSFL)作为食品和饲料中的替代蛋白质来源正日益受到人们的关注,尤其是其干燥后的形态,促进了循环经济的发展。在文献中,尚未建立在不同的温度和相对湿度条件下监测幼虫在潮湿环境中的行为,而且干燥幼虫的质量并不总是与干燥条件相关。因此,本研究全面分析了干燥 BSFL 的吸附-解吸等温线、干燥动力学和随后的质量变化。采用重量法评估了 40、50、60 和 70 °C 下的吸附等温线,然后建立了数学模型并确定了热力学变量。在相同温度下,在强制空气烘箱中研究了薄层干燥动力学,随后对干燥幼虫进行了近似分析。在评估的八个吸附等温线模型中,佩奇模型的拟合效果最好,它显示了最佳储水活性为 0.38 的第二类吸附等温线。佩奇模型准确地描述了 BSFL 在所有温度下的干燥动力学。水分扩散系数在 6.15 × 10-11 到 2.63 × 10-10 m2/s 之间,活化能为 48.66 kJ/mol。干燥幼虫的蛋白质含量令人印象深刻,从 39.67 ± 0.28% 到 45.29 ± 0.07% 不等,超过了全球昆虫生产行业的最低要求。较高的干燥温度严重影响了近似成分,降低了幼虫的质量。这些发现强调了 BSFL 作为一种有价值的蛋白质来源的潜力,并加深了人们对其在干燥过程中的吸附行为和质量属性的了解。这项研究有助于优化干燥条件,提高 BSFL 作为可持续蛋白质替代品的质量。

期刊介绍: Biophysical studies of foods and agricultural products involve research at the interface of chemistry, biology, and engineering, as well as the new interdisciplinary areas of materials science and nanotechnology. Such studies include but are certainly not limited to research in the following areas: the structure of food molecules, biopolymers, and biomaterials on the molecular, microscopic, and mesoscopic scales; the molecular basis of structure generation and maintenance in specific foods, feeds, food processing operations, and agricultural products; the mechanisms of microbial growth, death and antimicrobial action; structure/function relationships in food and agricultural biopolymers; novel biophysical techniques (spectroscopic, microscopic, thermal, rheological, etc.) for structural and dynamical characterization of food and agricultural materials and products; the properties of amorphous biomaterials and their influence on chemical reaction rate, microbial growth, or sensory properties; and molecular mechanisms of taste and smell. A hallmark of such research is a dependence on various methods of instrumental analysis that provide information on the molecular level, on various physical and chemical theories used to understand the interrelations among biological molecules, and an attempt to relate macroscopic chemical and physical properties and biological functions to the molecular structure and microscopic organization of the biological material.
