The Allergen Profile of Two Edible Insect Species—<i>Acheta domesticus</i> and <i>Hermetia illucens</i>

Abstract

Identifying potential allergenic proteins and their isoforms in cricket and BSF requires specific extraction approaches using urea-based methods. While tropomyosin is the most abundant and immunoreactive allergen, seven unique allergens are identified, highlighting the need for insect species-specific allergen detection in food products.
