Nutritional value of insects and ways to manipulate their composition

D. G. A. B. Oonincx et al.

Summary: This article provides an overview of the nutrient content of insects and discusses factors influencing their variability, such as protein digestibility, antinutritional factors, and processing methods. It compares the nutrient profiles of various insect species to the nutritional requirements of different animals and humans, highlighting the potential alterations in select nutrients.

Dietary Modulation of Oxidative Stress From Edible Insects: A Mini-Review

Veronica D'Antonio et al.

Summary: Edible insects are considered a nutritious and environmentally sustainable alternative to animal proteins. Studies have found that edible insects have antioxidant properties, which can help counteract oxidative stress and reduce the formation of oxidation damage markers. Further research is needed to assess the efficacy of edible insect consumption in modulating redox status in humans.

Impacts of insect consumption on human health

V. J. Stull

Summary: Edible insects represent an understudied food resource that may promote human health by promoting growth, modulating gut microbiota, and providing essential amino acids. While lacking direct human intervention studies, current evidence suggests that insect consumption is generally safe and beneficial for health compared to other foods.

Targeted Phenolic Characterization and Antioxidant Bioactivity of Extracts from Edible Acheta domesticus

Maria Catalina Nino et al.

Summary: This study obtained methanolic extracts of Acheta domesticus from two farms using a microwave-assisted extraction method and identified phenolic compounds through LC-MS/MS. The in vitro antioxidant activity of the extracts was found to be superior, indicating potential added health benefits when consumed.

Effect of Three Defatting Solvents on the Techno-Functional Properties of an Edible Insect (Gryllus bimaculatus) Protein Concentrate

Min-Soo Jeong et al.

Summary: The study assessed the techno-functional properties of protein concentrates from the cricket Gryllus bimaculatus, finding ethanol to be the most effective defatting solvent. Ethanol significantly increased protein content and affected foaming properties. Therefore, when applying edible insects, both techno-functional and overall properties should be considered.

Chia Sprouts Elicitation with Salicylic Acid and Hydrogen Peroxide to Improve their Phenolic Content, Antioxidant Capacities In Vitro and the Antioxidant Status in Obese Rats

Haiku D. J. Gomez-Velazquez et al.

Summary: This study showed that elicitation of chia sprouts using salicylic acid and hydrogen peroxide can significantly increase the phenolic and flavonoid content, and enhance antioxidant capacities. Rats fed with a high-fat and fructose diet supplemented with chia sprouts, especially those elicited with 1-mM SA, experienced reduced obesity-related oxidative stress through increased antioxidant capacities in serum and urine samples.
