Edible Insects as Innovative Foods: Nutritional, Functional and Acceptability Assessments II
Full text linkSummary
It was first suggested nearly 50 years ago by Meyer-Rochow in Australia that the use of insects as food and feed sources could ease the problem of global food shortages, and that the WHO and the FAO should support the promotion of insects as a food item, especially in countries with a long tradition of entomophagy. However, food shortages in some parts of the world are only one aspect to consider; overeating and obesity in other parts of the world are another aspect. An increased use of edible insects might well be able to assist in overcoming, at least to some extent, both of these problems. This Special Issue of Foods represents Volume 2 of the topic “Edible Insects as Innovative Foods: Nutritional, Functional and Acceptability Assessments”. Some of the 20 contributions by scientists from 13 different countries deal with hitherto unreported food insects, and others explore the effects that a diet containing insects or insect products can have on the gut microbiota of the consumer, whether human or non-human. Food safety questions are not ignored, and questions related to the chemical composition of food insects, their content in terms of nutrients and antinutrients, and their acceptability by consumers are additional topics that the articles in this book explore. Altogether, this reprint provides convincing reasons for the advantages to health and the environment that a greater use of insects as food and feed would present, and ends with the slogans “Forget about the pork and put a cricket on your fork!” and “Mealworms and spaghetti is food that makes you happy!”.Summary

Hypoaspidinae mites usually with a genito-ventro-anal shield (hologastric shield), with six pairs of setae (excluding three circum-anal setae), with four pairs of setae in addition to genital setae st5; peritrematal shields and metapodal plates sometimes fused to hologastric shield (diagnostic character at species level); epistome with irregularly serrated anterior margin; hypostomal groove narrow, with six rows of denticles each bearing few deniticles; palp tarsal claw with three pointed tines of unequal length, proximal tine shortest; genu IV with nine setae including one ventral seta; dorsal shield often with paired Zx setae between J and Z setae, unpaired Jx setae also often present.Published as part of Keum, Eunsun, Jung, Chuleui & Joharchi, Omid, 2017, New species and new records of the family Laelapidae (Acari: Mesostigmata) from Republic of Korea, pp. 485-505 in Zootaxa 4353 (3) on page 500, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4353.3.5, http://zenodo.org/record/106580

Hypoaspis (Gymnolaelaps) laevis.— Bregetova, 1977: 524 Gymnolaelaps laevis.— Joharchi & Halliday, 2013: 44. Pseudoparasitus (Gymnolaelaps) laevis.— Karg, 1978: 207; 1981: 218; 1989: 334. Pseudoparasitus laevis.— Gwiazdowicz, 2008: 101. Specimens examined. One female, Chilgok, Gyeongbuk province, Republic of Korea, 36°03' N, 128°21' E, alt. 72 m, 27 April 2014, E. Keum coll., from soil of organic apple orchard (deposited in PMANU). Notes. Gymnolaelaps laevis was described from Corsica (Michael, 1891), and has been recorded from Ukraine, Russia, west Kazakhstan, Turkmenia, Western Europe (Bregetova, 1977), England (Evans & Till, 1966) and Iran (Joharchi & Halliday, 2013). It has been found with several genera of ants, and is now recorded in Republic of Korea for the first time, from soil in an organic apple orchard. Our specimen agrees very well with the description given by Evans & Till (1966). There are two postero-lateral setae on genu IV (2 2/1 3/0 2), and the dorsal shield has 41 pairs of short pointed setae and seven unpaired supernumerary Jx setae. Evans & Till (1966) show a median notch in the anterior margin of the sternal shield, which is not present in our specimen.Published as part of Keum, Eunsun, Jung, Chuleui & Joharchi, Omid, 2017, New species and new records of the family Laelapidae (Acari: Mesostigmata) from Republic of Korea, pp. 485-505 in Zootaxa 4353 (3) on page 490, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4353.3.5, http://zenodo.org/record/106580
Cosmolaelaps hortensis

Specimens examined. 48 females and one male, Jecheon-si, Chungbuk province, Republic of Korea, 37°08' N, 128°15' E, alt. 468 m, 22 Aug 2014, E. Keum coll., in breeding farm of beetles, on adult female Allomyrina dichotoma (Linnaeus) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) (deposited in PMANU). Notes. Cosmolaelaps hortensis was described from Japan (Ishikawa, 1986). It has been found associated with a millipede species, Oxidus gracilis (Koch) (Polydesmida: Paradoxosomatidae), and is now recorded in Republic of Korea for the first time, on the rhinoceros beetle A. dichotoma. Our specimens agree well with the description given by Ishikawa (1986). The species is easily recognised by the long setae of the dorsal shield (most setae long enough to reach well past the base of the next posterior seta) and the fixed digit of the female’s chelicera with two large and six small teeth.Published as part of Keum, Eunsun, Jung, Chuleui & Joharchi, Omid, 2017, New species and new records of the family Laelapidae (Acari: Mesostigmata) from Republic of Korea, pp. 485-505 in Zootaxa 4353 (3) on page 487, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4353.3.5, http://zenodo.org/record/106580
