The study looked at the differences in the ingredients of flour made from locusts at two different stages: when they are younger (fourth instar) and when they are adults.
Adult locust flour has more fat and different colors compared to the flour from younger locusts, but they both have similar protein levels and other chemical parts.
Both flours have important acids and proteins, and the adult locust flour has a special ingredient (GABA) that could make it a good source of protein for new and healthy food.
Broccoli samples ( Brassica oleracea) with an initial moisture content of 82.87% (wb) were dried using microwave technology (18, 36, and 54 W/g). Convective drying was used as a control group.
