Novel foods: allergenicity assessment of insect proteins. [PDF]

EFSA J, 2022
Insects represent a promising source of proteins and have been reported as a great potential for being used as novel food and feed proteins. This makes them a valuable source of nutrients to face the increasing demand of food necessitated by the growing ...

Hunting for Insect-Specific Protein Domains

In Silico Biology: Journal of Biological Systems Modeling and Multi-Scale Simulation, 2006
Automatically finding new protein domains is a challenge when using the complete collection of known proteins (i.e., UniProt). By limiting the taxonomic range to class insecta, including two full proteomes (A. gambiae and D. melanogaster), we reduced the size of the search space in the hope of finding taxon-specific domains.

Odorant-Binding Proteins in Insects

, 2010
Our understanding of the molecular and biochemical mechanisms that mediate chemoreception in insects has been greatly improved after the discovery of olfactory and taste receptor proteins. However, after 50 years of the discovery of first insect sex pheromone from the silkmoth Bombyx mori, it is still unclear how hydrophobic compounds reach the ...

Roles of herbivorous insects salivary proteins

Heliyon
The intricate relationship between herbivorous insects and plants has evolved over millions of years, central to this dynamic interaction are salivary proteins (SPs), which mediate key processes ranging from nutrient acquisition to plant defense manipulation.

Insects as a Source of Protein

Turkish Journal of Agriculture: Food Science and Technology, 2022
The world population growth has increased demand for traditional protein sources but an alternative protein source was sought due to limited land. Edible insects containing all the essential amino acids in a healthy diet are sustainable and promising alternative protein source. The protein content of insects varies in a wide range depending on the type
