Review of Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) as Animal Feed and Human Food (2017, background): “Ramos-Elorduy’s other ethnographic studies of Mexican entomophagy make no references to BSFL rearing [2,168,169].”
Factors determining neophobia and neophilia with regard to new technologies applied to the food sector: A systematic review (2017, background): “…where the consumption of insects is culturally rooted in culinary traditions and practice, also due to the perceived health benefits that insect protein may bring (Verkerk et al., 2007), such practices are also changing with the introduction of more westernized diets (Ramos-Elorduy, 2009).”
A Comprehensive Look at the Possibilities of Edible Insects as Food in Europe – a Review (2014, background): “By all accounts, which include archeological evidence as well as analysis of fossilized feces, humankind has evolved as an entomophagous species [Sutton, 1995; Ramos-Elorduy, 2009].”
Could consumption of insects, cultured meat or imitation meat reduce global agricultural land use? (2017, background): “They are high in fat, protein and micronutrients (Persijn and Charrondiere, 2014; Rumpold and Schlüter, 2013), and can be produced with lower levels of GHG emissions and water consumption (van Huis, 2013).”
The insectivore’s dilemma, and how to take the West out of it (2015, background): “In fact, it has been estimated that somewhere between 1200 and 2000 varieties of insect are eaten somewhere in the world (see Ceurstemont, 2013; Ramos-Elorduy, 2009).”
Edible insects - Species suitable for entomophagy under condition of Czech Republic (2013, background): “VERGARA, C. H., 2011: Edible insects as part of the traditional food system of the Popoloca town of Los Reyes Metzontla, Mexico.”
Mealworms for Food: A Water Footprint Perspective (2015, background): “Both mealworms are promising and valid alternative sources of nutrients for humans [11] and both can be reared very well on organic side streams [20].”
Why we still don't eat insects: Assessing entomophagy promotion through a diffusion of innovations framework (2015, background): “These movements are advantageous to the cause of entomophagy, because insects are strongly seen as “natural” and can be easily marketed as such to those concerned with eating less processed products (Barska, 2014; Siegrist, 2008), and especially with the “Paleolithic diet” that seeks a return to foo”
Determinants of willingness to eat insects in the USA and India (2015, background): “DeFoliart (1999), Looy et al. (2013), DeFoliart et al. (2009), Van Huis et al. (2013), Ramos-Elorduy (2009), Paoletti and Dreon (2005), Raubenheimer and Rothman (2013) and Yen (2009) have thoroughly covered the promise of insects as food, from ethnographic, entomological, economic, nutritional, and…”
Edible insects acceptance by belgian consumers: promising attitude for entomophagy development (2014, background): “In contrast, populations from developing countries abandon their ancestral food habits and entomophagy for new processed products (Ramos-Elorduy 2009).”
