Occurrence of Food Chemical Contaminants in Entomophagy: Implications for Food Safety and Future Risk Assessment—A Scoping Review

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Entomophagy is increasingly recognized as a sustainable alternative to conventional protein sources due to its low environmental impact. However, ensuring its safety requires careful evaluation of chemical contaminants of food safety concern.

Locusta migratoria

, 2008
31. Locusta migratoria (Linnaeus, 1758) (Migratory Locust) Diagnosis: It occurs in green and brown forms in the solitary phase. Adults in gregarious phase were also collected which can easily be distinguished by their yellow colour with dark black marking. The species can easily be identified from other locusts by the absence of prostemal process,

Unexpected relationships of substructured populations in Chinese Locusta migratoria [PDF]

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009
Highly migratory species are usually expected to have minimal population substructure because strong gene flow has the effect of homogenizing genetic variation over geographical populations, counteracting random drift, selection and mutation. The migratory locust Locusta migratoria belongs to a monotypic genus, and is an infamous pest insect with ...

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

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, Volume 110, Issue 5, Page 780-791, September 2026.
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 ...

Biochemical, cytochemical localization and physiological studies on Malpighian tubules of Locusta Migratoria L. [PDF]

, 1997
Specific inhibitors of protein kinase A (PKA), Rp-cAMP, protein kinase C (PKC), chelerythrine and staurosporine, and protein phosphatase 1 and 2A okadaic acid, inhibited fluid secretion whilst corpora cardiaca (CC) extract and cAMP were found to ...

Locusta migratoria (Orthoptera: Acrididae) embryos monitor neighboring eggs for hatching synchrony [PDF]

Journal of Orthoptera Research, 2017
The mechanism for controlling hatching from egg masses has received little attention in insects. In this study, both the pattern of hatching and factors influencing hatching were examined for the egg mass of the migratory locust, Locusta migratoria ...

The use of edible insects in human food

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 10, Page 5775-5787, 15 August 2026.
Abstract The world population is expected to reach approximately 10 billion people by 2050, which will significantly increase global food demand and may lead to agricultural shortages and a higher risk of food insecurity. In this context, this review discusses the potential of insects as alternative sources of animal protein, addressing their ...
