The use of edible insect proteins in food: Challenges and issues related to their functional properties

, 2020
Over the past decade, the potential of edible insects as a novel ingredient in high value-added products has been investigated to find alternatives to conventional protein sources that are expensive, over-exploited and harmful to the environment.

Insect Extinctions and Insect Survival

Conservation Biology, 2006
Dunn (2005) puts forward an interesting challenge: “If we are serious about insect conservation, we need to spend more time and money documenting extinctions.” Arguably, we should spend more resources ensuring that the ship stays afloat and is on course rather than perfecting technology to record its sinking.

INSECT NUTRITION

Biological Reviews, 1947
Summary1. Recent work has disclosed the nature of many of the accessory growth factors required by insects. Most of the species which have been studied appear to require only one fat‐soluble factor, cholesterol. Cholesterol can be replaced by certain other related sterols, depending on the species of insect, but it cannot be replaced by sterols of the ...

A journey into the world of insect lipid metabolism.

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, 2020
Lipid metabolism is fundamental to life. In insects, it is critical, during reproduction, flight, starvation, and diapause. The coordination center for insect lipid metabolism is the fat body, which is analogous to the vertebrate adipose tissue and liver.

Willingness to pay for insect-based food: The role of information and carrier

Food Quality and Preference, 2019
There is increasing interest toward insects as an alternative protein source in Western countries even though, so far, most Western consumers react with disgust and rejection. The literature on consumer behavior has mainly investigated the willingness to
