Black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) has received considerable interest as an alternative protein source. Aqueous solutions of black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) protein and glucose (2:1 w.w⁻¹, pH 9) were heated at 50, 70 and 90 °C, for 2–10 h at 2 h intervals, respectively. The zeta-potential (ζ) of BSFL-Glu conjugates heat-treated at 70 °C ranged from -10.25 to -25.25 mV while the native BSFL protein ranged from -12.84 to -16.70 mV. The ζ-potential analysis revealed that the glycation reaction modified the surface charge density of the BSFL protein as a function of reaction time and temperature. In addition, an increase in thermal stability of the BSFL-Glu conjugates was observed by means of Thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) analysis indicated that the most apparent structural changes in the BSFL protein were in the amide I and amide II region. Well-separated clusters permitting differentiation between native BSFL and BSFL-Glu conjugates were observed by using principal component analysis (PCA) on FT-IR spectra. At 50, 70 and 90 °C the first two principal components (PC1 and PC2) showed an accumulated total variance of 91, 96 and 95%, respectively. A classification efficiency of 91% was obtained when using soft independent modelling of class analogy (SIMCA). Infrared spectroscopy combined with SIMCA is a powerful tool to monitor the formation of edible insect protein–sugar conjugates by Maillard reaction. As a result, combining FT-IR spectroscopy with multivariate techniques (PCA and SIMCA) exhibited a strong potential to differentiate between native and glycated protein samples from black soldier fly larvae.
