Comparative analysis of immune responses in ovipositing and non‐ovipositing females of European earwig Analyse comparative de la réponse immunitaire avant et après la ponte chez le forficule européen

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.
Oviposition and care decrease the total haemocyte concentration. Oviposition and care affect haemocyte type proportions. Serratia marcescens challenge does not affect the immune cell parameters. Abstract Reproduction and immunity are essential biological processes that compete for resources and energy.

Rapid Identification of Edible Insect Species in Food Using MALDI‐TOF Mass Spectrometry

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 40, Issue 13, 15 July 2026.
ABSTRACT Rationale Edible insects are emerging as sustainable, nutritious ‘foods of the future’ and are gradually introduced to the European market as novel foods. Ensuring consumer safety and preventing fraud requires legal regulation, which in turn depends on reliable analytical methods.

Black soldier fly larvae feed by forming a fountain around food [PDF]

Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2019
The black soldier fly is a non-pest insect of interest to the sustainability community due to the high eating rates of its edible larvae. When found on carcases or piles of rotting fruit, this larva often outcompetes other species of scavengers for food.

Evaluating Sawdust as a Bulking Agent to Enhance Black Soldier Fly Larvae (Hermetia illucens) Performance and Survival in Potato Peels

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 5, Page 682-689, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The rearing of black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) offers a sustainable approach for producing high‐protein larvae for animal feed, contributing to waste reduction and nutrient recovery. While BSFL‐rearing is well studied, the role of non‐nutritive bulking agents such as sawdust remains unclear. Sawdust was added on top of the base substrate at 0%

Microwave-assisted extraction of black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) lipid

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021
Abstract Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) contain high lipids considered as a sustainable feedstock for lipid production to biofuels. In this study, microwave-assisted extraction of BSFL was prepared. The response surface methodology was employed to investigate the effects of parameters, namely, microwave power (230 - 290 W), solid ...

Green Proteins: A Sustainable Alternative to Animal‐Based Proteins for Global Protein Security

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.
This study highlights the drawbacks associated with animal‐based proteins, such as their contribution to greenhouse gas emissions, large‐scale land use, and worsening food insecurity. It suggests that green sources of proteins, including legumes, grains, seeds, leaves, and algae, are possible sustainable alternatives. Shifting towards these plant‐based

Bioactivities of black soldier fly larvae protein hydrolysate

Food Research
One of the potential insects for feed and food sources is the Black Soldier Fly (BSF) (Hermetia illucens). The BSF originated in South America and has now spread to many tropical countries. The BSF larvae (BSFL) had attracted much attention due to their good nutrient content and were recently reported as having useful bioactivities.
