- Nutritional potential of longhorn grasshopper (ruspolia differens) consumed in Siaya District, Kenya (2011, background): “The fat content of the grasshoppers as shown in Table 1 was considerably higher than the fat values reported for other insects studied by Banjo et al (2006) for other insect species (19.7 - 24.1%).”
- Entomophagy and human food security (2011, background): “…of good sanitary conditions in production should be followed (Allotey and Mpuchane, 2003) because during harvesting, handling, processing/drying and storage, insects can come in contact with soil and can be contaminated with pathogenic micro-organisms causing spoilage (Banjo et al., 2006b).”
- Insects as food: an ecological, social and economical approach. (2009, background): “Similarly, minerals and vitamins are present at a significant level [1, 11, 18, 25].”
- A Comprehensive Look at the Possibilities of Edible Insects as Food in Europe – a Review (2014, background): “Furthermore, potentially edible insects may contain higher than acceptable levels of chemicals due to frequent usage of pesticides, which also applies to some other parts of the world [Banjo et al., 2006].”
- Nutritional composition of Chondacris rosea and Brachytrupes orientalis: Two common insects used as food by tribes of Arunachal Pradesh, India (2014, background): “326%) were at the lower end of those reported from other insects or conventional food sources (Malaisse, 2005; Banjo et al., 2006; Ekpo et al., 2009; Chakravorty et al., 2011b; Blasquez et al., 2012).”
- Effect of Processing Methods on the In Vitro Protein Digestibility and Vitamin Content of Edible Winged Termite (Macrotermes subhylanus) and Grasshopper (Ruspolia differens) (2010, background): “The palm weevil larva, Rhynchophorus phoenicis, consumed in Nigeria was found to contain high levels of thiamin and riboflavin (Banjo et al. 2006).”
