Radio Frequency Heating‐Induced Multilevel Injury of Plodia Interpunctella in Goji Berries and Concomitant Quality Variations of Goji Berries

open access: yesFood Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 5, September 2026.
RF heating reaches 52°C in 14 min (vs. 196 min for HA) and with 1.5 min holding achieves 100% larval mortality, inducing multilevel injury—cuticular damage, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and DNA fragmentation—while better preserving color, texture, and bioactive components than HA.

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

open access: yesFood Biomacromolecules, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 620-645, September 2026.
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 ...

See No Weevil: Dark Data Patterns in Repositories and Their Implications for Conservation Planning

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.
Reliable species distribution data are essential for conservation planning, yet for many invertebrates, these data are incomplete or inaccessible. Institutional collections hold millions of insect specimens, but most of the data and metadata are undigitised ‘dark data', limiting their integration into global biodiversity platforms.
