The use of edible insects in human food

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
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 ...

Biogenic Synthesis of Silver and Iron Nanoparticles Derived From Grewia Optiva Leaf Extract: A Novel Approach for Antidiabetic, Anticoagulant and Anti‐Inflammatory Therapies

International Journal of Chemical Kinetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents the green synthesis of silver (Ag‐NPs) and iron nanoparticles (Fe‐NPs) using aqueous leaf extract of Grewia optiva as a natural reducing and stabilizing agent. The extract was prepared using a Kjeldahl apparatus under controlled heating. Nanoparticle synthesis was optimized by varying pH, temperature, and salt concentration,

Using sterile insect technique against Carob moth, Ectomyelois ceratoniae (Zeller) (Lep.: Pyralidae), in Yazd province, Iran [PDF]

نامه انجمن حشره‌شناسی ایران, 2017
Carob moth, Ectomyelois ceratoniae (Zeller) (Lep.: Pyralidae), is the most important pest of pomegranate fruit in Iran where the cryptic activity of its larva makes the application of insecticides practically impossible.

The sterile insect technique in a predator-prey system with monotone functional response [PDF]

, 2016
In this paper, we focus on the sterile insect release technique (SIRT) in a predator--prey system with monotone functional response. Unlike most of the existing modeling studies in this field that mainly deal with the pest population only, we have ...

A single intra‐articular stromal vascular fraction with platelet‐rich plasma injection yields superior clinical outcomes than a hyaluronic acid injection in patients with knee osteoarthritis: A prospective comparative study

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The present study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of a combined injection of stromal vascular fraction (SVF) and platelet rich plasma (PRP) versus a high molecular weight (HMW) hyaluronic acid (HA) injection in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA).
