Aims This article describes the qualitative and quantitative analyses of untypical compounds
in the cuticular and internal lipids of four dipteran species. For isolated compounds …

The paper presents the state of knowledge on the chromatographic techniques used in the
analysis of insect lipids. Lipids are one of the forms of protection against entomopathogenic …

In recent years biologically active compounds isolated from insects call special interest of
drug researchers. According to some Polish etnopharmacological observations, secretion …

Edible insects with high fat and phosphorus content are a potential novel source of lecithin,
however, studies on their minor lipids are limited. In this study, lecithin was extracted from …

The currently limited knowledge on the nutritional requirements of the European lobster
(Homarus gammarus) remains a major obstacle to the improvement of growth and survival …

The development of parasitic nematodes proceeds via multiple stages, often implicating the
necessity to adapt to different environments. Especially the transition from free-living to …

BACKGROUND The total amount of bio‐waste produced annually in the EU by the food and
beverage chains is estimated at 37 billion kg. The use of insects for the valorization of by …

Differences in free fatty acids (FFAs) chemical composition of insects may be responsible for
susceptibility or resistance to fungal infection. Determination of FFAs found in cuticular lipids …

Insects need a sufficient quantity of macro-and micronutrients in their diet for maximising
their growth, development, and reproduction. To achieve high efficiency in the mass …

Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL; Hermetia illucens) are known as an alternative feed for
livestock, but their lack of polyunsaturated fatty acids (such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) …
