Olfactory Response of Sitophilus zeamais Adults to Odours of Semolina Pasta and Semolina Pasta Enriched with Different Amounts of Acheta domesticus Powder

Insects
The behavioural response of adult maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais, to different types of semolina pasta enriched or not enriched with increasing proportions (5%, 10%, and 15%) of house cricket (Acheta domesticus) powder was investigated in olfactometer ...

Physicochemical, Nutritional, Antioxidant, and Sensory Properties of Crackers Supplemented with Edible Insects

Applied Sciences, 2023
This study aimed to determine the physicochemical, nutritional, antioxidant, and sensory properties of crackers with the addition of edible insects. The analyses covered the contents of total dry matter, crude protein, fat and ash; amino acid composition

Effects of Rearing Density on Growth, Adult Emergence and Survival in the Edible Cricket Gryllodes sigillatus

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gryllodes sigillatus is an increasingly important species in edible insect production, yet the optimal rearing density for this species under commercial conditions remains poorly defined. This study evaluated the effects of five rearing densities (1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 and 4 mL of newly hatched nymphs, corresponding to approximately 0.144–0.385 ...

Nutritional Characterisation of Acheta domesticus at Different Developmental Stages for Application in Animal Feed

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The house cricket Acheta domesticus has emerged as a promising alternative protein source for animal nutrition; however, limited information is available on how developmental stage influences its nutritional characteristics. This study compared subadults (30‐day‐old) and adults (40‐day‐old) crickets in terms of chemical composition, mineral ...

EFFECT OF CRICKET POWDER ADDITION ON TECHNOLOGICAL PROPERTIES AND QUALITY OF SAUSAGES

Journal of microbiology, biotechnology and food sciences
Edible insects are increasingly explored as alternative protein sources for the feed and food industry due to their potential for sustainable, high-quality protein production. The use of a powdered form of an insect in a ready-to-eat food can increase the willingness to consume insects. This study evaluates the chemical composition, colour, texture and

Mandible composition and properties in two selected praying mantises (Insecta, Mantodea)

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2298-2314, September 2026.
Abstract Insects process their food with their cuticle‐based mouthparts. These feeding structures reflect their diversity and can, in some cases, showcase adaptations in material composition, mechanical properties, and shape to suit their specific dietary preferences.

Extraction of lipids from insect powders using a one-step organic solvent extraction process

Future Foods, 2021
The extraction efficiency, fatty acid profiles (FAP) and classes of lipids separated from insect powders by a one-step process were studied. Hexane (H), chloroform (C), methyl-tert-butyl ether (MTBE), and 3:2 hexane-isopropanol (HI) were used as ...

Impacted Bones: Can Extant Primates Help Identify Tool Use in Early Hominins?

Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Despite recent advances pushing back the earliest record of tool use, how and when it first emerged in hominins, and the extent to which it featured amongst the numerous co‐existing species, remain critical questions in paleoanthropology. In addition to analyzing fossils and lithic toolkits, novel strides in understanding this might be made by

Transfer of Potentially Toxic Metal(loid)s From Ultramafic Soils in a Tri‐Trophic Food Chain Experiment

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.
Potentially toxic metal(loid)s (PTMs) bioaccumulated across a plant‐herbivore‐predator food chain. Irrespective of soil concentrations, female crickets actively selected PTM‐enriched leaves, while predatory mantids showed no developmental impairment. Trophic transfer of PTMs was rather influenced more by a function of intrinsic species traits than by ...
