Mineral composition in black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae and resulting frass from fruit and their peels

N. Romano et al.

Summary: This study investigated the influence of feeding orange or banana peels to black soldier fly larvae on their mineral composition. It was found that banana peels significantly increased the levels of phosphorus, potassium, calcium, sodium, manganese, and magnesium in the larvae. In the frass, the potassium content was significantly highest and lowest when banana and orange peels were composted with the larvae, respectively. Overall, the mineral levels in the larvae were generally higher than in the initial substrate, especially for iron.

Insect meal as a feed ingredient for poultry

Usman Elahi et al.

Summary: Shortage of protein feed resources is a major challenge for the global farm animal industry. Insects are considered as an alternative protein source for poultry, providing essential amino acids and potential functional benefits. However, inconsistent results were observed due to variations in insect meal products and poultry breeds.

Aerodynamics Effect of Holes in UAV Wings Modified for VTOL Capability

Laith S. Sawaqed et al.

Summary: This research explores the possibility of modifying the X8 Skywalker from a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle into a convertiplane. Computational fluid dynamics and wind tunnel experiments were conducted to analyze the performance of different wing configurations. The results indicate that the proposed modifications can generate enough lift despite reducing the wing area, with the filleted hole configuration demonstrating less drag and turbulence effects at low angles of attack.

Indigenous Knowledge about Consumption of Edible Insects in South Africa

Zabentungwa T. Hlongwane et al.

Summary: Edible insects are a traditional practice rich in nutrients, playing an essential role in improving the livelihoods of people in rural areas of South Africa. While most residents consume insects in Limpopo, there is a decline in entomophagy in KZN, possibly due to western dietary influences, discomfort associated with insect consumption, and a decrease in wild insect availability. Mopane worms and termites are the preferred insect species in Limpopo and KZN, respectively.

Chemical Composition, Nutrient Quality and Acceptability of Edible Insects Are Affected by Species, Developmental Stage, Gender, Diet, and Processing Method

Victor Benno Meyer-Rochow et al.

Summary: Edible insects are not only a nutritious food, but also a healthy ingredient of traditional dishes. Processing can enhance the nutrient content, taste, flavor, appearance, and palatability of insects, but there are factors that may impact the content and composition of insect species recommended for human consumption.

Nutritional, functional, and allergenic properties of silkworm pupae

Xuli Wu et al.

Summary: Edible silkworm pupae are a highly nutritious food source with a long history of use in East Asia, and they are widely employed in the food, pharmaceutical, and animal feed industries. With the increasing consumption of silkworm pupae, potential allergic reactions to them must be understood.

Nutritional compositions of two edible insects: Oryctes rhinoceros larva and Zonocerus variegatus

Emeka Godwin Anaduaka et al.

Summary: Insects such as Oryctes rhinoceros larva and Zonocerus variegatus are rich in nutrients and can be potential sources of food with high nutritional value. Oryctes rhinoceros larvae have higher levels of crude protein and carbohydrates, while Zonocerus variegatus have higher levels of crude lipids. Both insects contain rich mineral components and their anti-nutrient values are within tolerable levels, making them good sources of macro and micronutrients. Oryctes rhinoceros may be a better source of nutrients due to its valuable macromolecule contents.
