Abstract Due to the increasing global population and unsustainable meat production, future supply of animal‐derived protein is predicted be insufficient. Currently, edible insects are considered as a potential “novel” source in development palatable analogues. This research used high moisture extrusion cooking (HMEC), at screw speed 150 rpm, produce analogues using full‐ or low‐fat cricket flours (CF) soy isolate (SPI). Effects water flow rate (WFR), temperature (9 10 ml/min; 120, 140,...
Abstract Gryllus bimaculatus powder can be a sustainable source of animal protein and is suitable ingredient for enriching gluten-free products. Enriching flours with edible insect impact the viscometric behavior blends should considered during formulation. This study explored effects substituting rice, maize, finger millet proso 5%, 10%, 15% 20% G. on pasting structural properties resulting blends. The parameters differed significantly ( ) except peak time in viscosity decreased addition...
Summary Gryllus bimaculatus (field cricket) powder is a prospect in enriching gluten‐free food products' protein and mineral contents. However, the technological impacts of replacing common cereal flours with G. are still incipient. This study aimed to characterise nutritional composition, particle morphology, size distribution (maize, rice, finger millet proso millet). Additionally, it investigated effects substituting these 5%, 10%, 15% 20% on proximate hydration colour properties. showed...
The rapid increase in global population and the unsustainable conventional meat production have created demand for alternative animal-derived protein. Traditionally, soy has been utilised structuring analogues. Currently, edible insects are researched as a potential source of proteins valuable ingredient development High moisture extrusion was applied to mixture protein isolate (SPI) full or low-fat cricket flour (CF) impact inclusion levels well extruder barrel temperature on firmness vitro...
Background Edible insects are a sustainable source of high-quality animal protein. Insect farming is gaining interest globally, particularly in low-income countries, where it may provide substantial nutritional and economic benefits. To enhance insect practices Africa, new systems being developed. However, knowledge on how to best promote uptake these lacking. This study aims fill this gap by investigating the effectiveness educational interventions promoting for household consumption...
<title>Abstract</title> Edible insects are a compelling alternative source of animal protein that holds potential for diversifying and enriching complementary foods with minerals proteins. This study aimed at formulating, developing characterizing nutrient- dense flour (CF) containing edible cricket maize roasted finger millet flours (CECF). In addition, the effect extrusion was evaluated on nutritional, functional microbiological properties. Analysis variance (ANOVA) multiple comparisons...
Although macadamia was introduced to Kenya in 1946, it not until the 1960s that commercial cutlivation commenced central, eastern, and western highlands. In 1970s, 300 trees Central Eastern highlands were selected based on nut yield tree characteristics. 1981, a subset of 25 most outstanding clones planted (1979–1987) evaluated at National Horticulture Research Centre Thika. Trial orchards, consisting seven 15 (EMB-1, EMB-2, EMB-H, KMB-1, KMB-3, KMB-4, KRG-1, KRG-3, KRG-4, KRG-15, MRG-1,...
Several outstanding macadamia trees ( Macadamia integrifolia Maiden and Betche, M. tetraphylla L. S. or hybrid of these two species) were selected from orchards established in the 1960s central eastern highlands evaluated over a period 10 years. In thrid year evaluations, clones 30 high-yielding (40 to 90 kg) propagated by grafting trials highlands. Three five Hawaiian varieties included as controls. Each trial consisted each clone. Trees for vigor, flowering, age bearing, yield. From tests,...
