Omega-3 fatty acids and bioactives in aqueous-extracted oils from seven edible insects

Globally, there is urgent search and research interest towards alternative sources of polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids (ω-3 FA) due to sustainability challenges faced by dependence on fish and plant-derived sources. Limited information exists on insects despite their promising potential. This work analyzed oils from...

Occurrence of bean fly (Diptera: Agromyzidae) and associated parasitoids in Kenya: farmers' perspectives and management practices.

Outbreaks of bean fly, Ophiomyia spp. (Diptera: Agromyzidae) constitute a major constraint to common bean production in sub-Saharan Africa. Here, we investigate bean fly occurrence patterns, associated parasitoid complexes, and smallholder farmer perspectives across 3 major bean corridors. Three bean fly species [O. ph...

Circular economy of insect farming as an innovative strategy for weed management.

Weeds can reduce crop yields by 19% to 100%, yet their management remains heavily dependent on synthetic herbicides, despite growing concerns about environmental pollution, biodiversity loss and risks to human health. Here, we provide a critical review on the ecological management of weeds through edible insect farming...

Fungal contamination, mycotoxins, histamine, and allergen-related immunoreactivity in edible insects and insect-fortified complementary foods

Introduction Edible insects are consumed by over 3,000 ethnic groups, with 2,205 species documented as food in 128 countries, yet evidence on fungal contamination, mycotoxins and allergen-related risks remains limited. This study assessed these hazards in edible insects and insect-fortified complementary foods for infa...

Coupling intensified push–pull technology with insect frass biofertilization improves land productivity, protein yield and carbon stocks

We evaluated agricultural innovations such as push-pull (PP), vegetable-integrated push-pull (VIPP), and black soldier fly frass fertilizer (BSFFF) for their transformative potential in rural smallholder agriculture. Using 12 cropping systems comprising two crops (maize and cowpea), BSFFF and diversified systems (PP an...
