ANTI-DIABETIC AND ANTI-OBESITY EFFECT OF FUNCTIONALLY ACTIVE PROTEINS OBTAINED FROM SEVEN EDIBLE INSECTS
AbstractThe bioactive peptides derived from food have increased consideration for their function in averting numerous chronic diseases, comprising, diabetes and obesity. Edible insects are the feasible composition of bioactive peptides owing to their high protein content and viable production. The present study was aimed to evaluate the antidiabetic and anti-obesity effects of seven edible insects’ protein hydrolysates after simulated gastrointestinal enzymatic digestion. Antidiabetic and anti-obesity efficiency was determined by the inhibition of digestive enzymes viz., dipeptidyl peptidase-IV, α-glucosidase, and α-lipase activity. Three active protein hydrolysate extracts (1.25, 2.5, and 5mg/dl) were selected and analyzed in terms of their IC50 values, and all tested extracts inhibited those enzyme activities in a dose-dependent manner. Based on the present study, we conclude the seven edible insects’ hydrolysate have potential enzyme inhibitory activities and thereby proved as an antidiabetic and anti-obesity activity.
