Measuring the nutritional cost of insect infestation of stored maize and cowpea
TE Stathers, SEJ Arnold, CJ Rumney, C Hopson - Food Security, 2020 - Springer
Our understanding and prevention of postharvest losses are critical if we are to feed a
growing global population. Insect infestation-related losses of stored commodities are
typically considered only in terms of quantitative, physical weight loss. Insect infestation
affects the nutritional value and some nutritional components are impacted more severely
than others. We infested maize and cowpea grain with commonly occurring stored product
insect pests, and mapped infestation levels against nutritional composition over a 4-to-6 …
