It tasted pretty good. You have to remove the midgut which is the only recognizable organ in the whole pupa. I suspect that the pupae were in a diapause stage, therefore all the rest of the adult tissue was not formed yet. The texture was sponge-like. Slightly salty. Lots of fat. Presumably very nutritious.

This insect has been and is still mass reared on malberry leaves and produces silk for us. Also widely used as a model insect for studying insect physiology. This picture was taken in a Guangzhou restaurent. This is the only insect that I have seen available and did not taste yet (give me a chance to go back next time!). The price was marked as 23 yen per 0.5 kilogram, so basically $3/lb. The lowest priced insect I know, perhaps due to that fact that it is a by-product of silk production.

  • Identification of Characterizing Aroma Components of Roasted Chicory
    Article Cite This: J. Agric. Food Chem. XXXX, XXX, XXX−XXX pubs.acs.org/JAFC Identification of Characterizing Aroma Components of Roasted Chicory “Coffee” Brews Tiandan Wu and Keith R. Cadwallader* Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition, University of Illinois at Urbana−Champaign, 1302 West Pennsylvania Avenue, Urbana, Illinois 61801, United States *S Supporting Information ABSTRACT: The roasted and ground root of the chicory plant (Cichorium intybus), often referred to as chicory coffee, has served as a coffee surrogate for well over 2 centuries and is still in common use today. Volatile components of roasted chicory brews were identified by direct solvent extraction and solvent-assisted flavor evaporation (SAFE) combined with gas chromatography−olfactometry (GC−O), aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA), and gas chromatography−mass spectrometry (GC−MS). A total of 46 compounds were quantitated by stable isotope dilution analysis (SIDA) and internal standard methods, and odor-activity values (OAVs) were calculated. On the basis of the combined results of AEDA and OAVs, rotundone was considered to be the most potent odorant in roasted chicory. On the basis of their high OAVs, additional predominant odorants included 3-hydroxy-4,5-dimethyl-2(5H)-furanone (sotolon), 2-methylpropanal, 3-methylbutanal, 2,3- dihydro-5-hydroxy-6-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one (dihydromaltol), 1-octen-3-one, 2-ethyl-3,5-dimethylpyrazine, 4-hydroxy-2,5- dimethyl-3(2H)-furanone (HDMF), and 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4-pyrone (maltol). Rotundone, with its distinctive aromatic woody, peppery, and “chicory-like” note was also detected in five different commercial ground roasted chicory products.

  • Wild-Harvested Edible Insects

Apart from farmed edible insects like Bamboo caterpillars were tradi onally crickets and palm weevil larvae, other collected by cutting down entire edible insect species such as silkworm bamboo clumps to harvest the pupae, grasshoppers, weaver ants and caterpillars. This approach was bamboo caterpillars are also popular destruc ve and some mes wasteful food items and can be found in every of bamboo material. More recently a market. less invasive collec on method has been tried. Sustainable collec on Grasshoppers, weaver ants, giant without cutting bamboo trees is water bugs and bamboo caterpillars starting to be practised by local are the most popular wild edible people.

  • The Yellow Mealworm As a Novel Source of Protein
    American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences 4 (4): 319-331, 2009 ISSN 1557-4989 © 2009 Science Publications The Yellow Mealworm as a Novel Source of Protein 1A.E. Ghaly and 2F.N. Alkoaik 1Department of Biological Engineering, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada 2Department of Agricultural engineering, College of Food and Agricultural Sciences, King Saud University, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Abstract: Problem statement: Yellow mealworms of different sizes (4.8-182.7 mg) were grown in a medium of wheat flour and brewer’s yeast (95:5 by weight) to evaluate their potential as a protein source. Approach: There was an initial adjustment period (3-9 days) observed during which the younger larvae (4.8-61.1 mg) grew slowly while the older ones (80.3-182.7 mg) lost weight. After this initial period, the younger larvae (4.8-122.1 mg) increased in weight while the older ones (139.6-182.7 mg) continued to lose weight as they entered the pupal stage. For efficient production of larvae, they should be harvested at a weight of 100-110 mg. The moisture issue in the medium presents an important management problem for commercial production. Results: A system in which eggs are separate from adults and hatched in separate chambers would alleviate the danger of losing the larval population due to microbial infection. The moisture, ash, protein and fat contents were 58.1-61.5, 1.8- 2.2, 24.3-27.6 and 12.0-12.5%, respectively. Yellow mealworms seem to be a promising source of protein for human consumption with the required fat and essential amino acids.

Williams 2 1 Department of Biological Sciences, University of Toronto Scarborough, 1265 Military Trail, Toronto, ON M1C1A4, Canada 2 The Wildlife Trust, The Manor House, Broad Street, Great Cambourne, Cambridge CB23 6DH, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Academic Editors: Kerry Wilkinson and Heather Bray Received: 28 April 2017; Accepted: 19 July 2017; Published: 21 July 2017 Abstract: Of the 30 extant orders of true insect, 12 are considered to be aquatic, or semiaquatic, in either some or all of their life stages. Out of these, six orders contain species engaged in entomophagy, but very few are being harvested effectively, leading to over-exploitation and local extinction. Examples of existing practices are given, ranging from the extremes of including insects (e.g., dipterans) in the dietary cores of many indigenous peoples to consumption of selected insects, by a wealthy few, as novelty food (e.g., caddisflies). The comparative nutritional worth of aquatic insects to the human diet and to domestic animal feed is examined. Questions are raised as to whether natural populations of aquatic insects can yield sufficient biomass to be of practicable and sustained use, whether some species can be brought into high-yield cultivation, and what are the requirements and limitations involved in achieving this? Keywords: aquatic insects; entomophagy; human diet; animal feed; life histories; environmental requirements 1. Introduction Entomophagy (from the Greek ‘entoma’, meaning ‘insects’ and ‘phagein’, meaning ‘to eat’) is a trait that we Homo sapiens have inherited from our early hominid ancestors.
