Bioactive compounds in insects—Composition, extraction, functionality, food applications, and safety concerns

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
This review synthesizes 94 studies (2000–2025) exploring edible insects as sustainable sources of peptides, lipids, and chitin. Utilizing “green” extraction, these bioactives offer antioxidant and antimicrobial benefits for functional foods. However, addressing safety concerns like allergenicity and heavy metals through standardized frameworks remains ...

Guidelines for Immunomodulatory Assays of Food Bioactives on Drosophila melanogaster Model

Future Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.
Guidelines are proposed for evaluating the immunomodulatory effects of food bioactives in Drosophila melanogaster, involving treatment with bioactives, pathogen preparation, infection routes, and immune response assessment. This model highlights the conserved mechanisms of cellular and humoral immunity for studying host‐microbe interactions.

Immunomodulatory Effect of Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) Scale Gelatin Peptides in RAW264.7 Macrophages and Caenorhabditis elegans

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Currently, small‐molecular‐weight collagen peptides are a research hotspot in functional factor development due to their high bioavailability and diverse bioactivities. In this study, gelatin was extracted from tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) scales by hot water extraction, followed by pepsin hydrolysis and ultrafiltration to obtain the < 3 ...

Food Contamination and Safety in Nigeria: A Systematic Synthesis of Heavy Metals, Microbial Pathogens, and Health Risk Metrics

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
This is an infographic driver of food contaminants and health effects. ABSTRACT Food safety remains a critical challenge in Nigeria due to rapid urbanization and weak regulatory enforcement. This systematic review synthesizes empirical evidence from 2015 to 2025 to characterize food contaminant profiles and associated human health risks in Nigeria ...

Anti‐Inflammatory Effects of Punicic Acid and Its Molecular Mechanisms in RAW264.7 Cells and Zebrafish

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Punicic acid (PA) was enriched and purified from PSO by molecular distillation with significant anti‐inflammatory activity to RAW264.7 cells, as well as to zebrafish. Anti‐inflammatory mechanism involved regulating NF‐κB and MAPK signaling pathways. ABSTRACT Punicic acid (PA) is the main fatty acid in pomegranate seeds, which shows multiple biological ...
