Life cycle assessment of cricket farming in north-eastern Thailand (2017, background): “However, according to Klunder et al. (2012), the measured amounts of nitrogenous substances found in insects may be higher than their actual protein content since some nitrogen is also bound in the chitin of the exoskeleton, which consists of both chitin and protein (Finke, 2013).”
Zoonotic Diseases: Etiology, Impact, and Control (2020, background): “from Zoophobas morio, Tenebrio molitor, Galleria mellonella, and Acheta domesticus [109,112].”
Food Wastes as a Potential new Source for Edible Insect Mass Production for Food and Feed: A review (2019, methodology): “Successful acidification and effectiveness in product’s safeguarding shelf-life and safety was achieved by the control of Enterobacteria and bacterial spores after lactic fermentation of flour/water mixtures with 10% or 20% powdered roasted mealworm larvae [97].”
Review of Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) as Animal Feed and Human Food (2017, background): “Following rearing, proper preparation, disinfection, processing, packaging, and storage throughout the process are needed to make BSFL or any other insects a safe human foodstuff for regulated markets [112].”
Effect of post-harvest starvation and rinsing on the microbial numbers and the bacterial community composition of mealworm larvae (Tenebrio molitor) (2017, background): “…counts (1.5 to 2.0 log cfu/g; Tables 1 and 2), however, were generally lower compared to those reported in literature, which generally range from 1.7 to 5.0 log cfu/g (Klunder et al., 2012; Stoops et al., 2016; Vandeweyer et al., AC C EP TE D M AN U SC R IP T 2017a; Vandeweyer et al., 2017b).”
Future Protein Supply and Demand: Strategies and Factors Influencing a Sustainable Equilibrium (2017, background): “Furthermore, many insects are consumed whole, which includes their gut microﬂora which may affect microbiological quality of the food product [10] and speciﬁc health implications associated with using organic feedstocks to produce the insects need to be assessed (for example (undesirable) substrate…”
Risk profile related to production and consumption of insects as food and feed (2015, background): “), spore-forming bacteria and Enterobacteriaceae were isolated (Klunder et al., 2012).”
Potential and challenges of insects as an innovative source for food and feed production (2013, background): “Drying and acidification subsequent to the boiling step could potentially increase the shelf life of house crickets stored at ambient temperature (Klunder et al., 2012).”
Nutritional and sensory quality of edible insects (2016, background): “Klunder et al. [20] evaluated the microbial content of fresh, processed and stored edible insects T. molitor , A. domesticus and Brachytrupes .”
