Engaging in entomophagy: The role of food neophobia and disgust between insect and non-insect eaters

Giovanni Sogari et al.

Summary: Past tasting experience with edible insects could influence food neophobia and disgust, and consequently, it could increase the intention to engage with entomophagy. This study aims to measure the effect of food neophobia and insect disgust on the willingness to engage in entomophagy and explore the differences between consumers who had previous experience eating insects and those who did not.

Australians' experience, barriers and willingness towards consuming edible insects as an emerging protein source

Indee Hopkins et al.

Summary: Increasing global populations and limitations on natural resources will further strain the food production system. This study explores Australian consumers' experiences with edible insects and identifies barriers to consumption, as well as factors that may motivate Australians to consume insects. Results show that increasing accessibility and nutrition knowledge may increase the likelihood of insect consumption. By providing more opportunities and education about insect-based food products, a greater proportion of Australians may be willing to eat insects, particularly if presented in indistinguishable forms like flour.

An in vitro digestion study of tannins and antioxidant activity affected by drying Rojo Brillante persimmon

Cristina M. Gonzalez et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the changes in soluble and insoluble tannins and their antioxidant activity in fresh and dehydrated persimmons after in vitro digestion. Soluble and insoluble tannins showed an inversely proportional relationship, with insoluble tannins exhibiting higher antioxidant activity after hydrolysis. Dehydrated persimmons could serve as potential ingredients for developing new foods with improved nutritional properties.

Food made with edible insects: Exploring the social representation of entomophagy where it is unfamiliar

Antonio Bisconsin-Junior et al.

Summary: Insects have gained attention as a promising food source due to their environmental and nutritional benefits. However, the acceptance of insects as food is low in urban areas of Brazil, similar to Western countries. This study investigated the social representation of edible insects in Brazil and identified three consumer segments based on risk perception and attitudes. The findings suggest that young men with higher education have the most positive attitude towards entomophagy, while older women with lower education have the highest risk perception and negative attitude. The use of certain insect species and preparation methods, along with motivations of survival and curiosity, may promote insect consumption in Brazil.

Indigenous Knowledge about Consumption of Edible Insects in South Africa

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.

Assessing the determinants of women farmers' targeted adaptation measures in response to climate extremes in rural Ghana

Victor Owusu et al.

Summary: Weather and climate extremes have a significant impact on food crop production for women farmers in sub-Saharan Africa. Women farmers employ specific targeted adaptation strategies, such as changing planting dates, creating drainage systems, and establishing fire belts around farms, in response to climate extremes. Factors such as age, climate information, asset holdings, credit access, and agricultural extension services play a crucial role in determining the adoption of these targeted strategies by women farmers. Policymakers should focus on removing institutional barriers and targeting specific interventions based on the age of women farmers to promote the uptake of adaptation strategies.

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.
