The objective of the present study was to evaluate the technological properties of red mombin seed flour (RMSF) and its effect on the nutritional composition and physical properties of chocolate brownies. RMSF was incorporated at various levels (25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%) into the formulation, with control brownies produced using refined (white) wheat flour (WWF). Results demonstrated that the addition of RMSF was beneficial to dietary fiber and ash content. Mineral profiles were shown to be an important factor for recommended daily intake values. Moreover, the antioxidant activity in this dessert increased approximately 13% due to the addition of RMSF, thus allowing longer preservation of the product in face of oxidation. Regarding textural parameters, the lowest concentration (25%) was sufficient to improve chewiness, gumminess, cohesiveness and resilience. Therefore, the incorporation of RMSF in chocolate brownies was capable of completely replacing WWF, improving physical and nutritional characteristics.

This study was conducted to evaluate three different food products containing cricket powder for consumer acceptability, emotional response, satiety, and plate waste. US untrained consumers (n = 108), from the San Luis Obispo, CA area, were recruited to evaluate three food products (sausage, pasta, and brownies) as components in a three-course meal that either contain cricket powder (CP) or not (Control). The CP sausage was found to have lower liking scores than the Control for the attributes tested (p < 0.

Insect powders used in food products may lower the overall quality when compared to conventional counterparts. This preliminary study was used to develop and evaluate insect-based food products and to utilize them in a future consumer test. Pork sausage, dried pasta, and chocolate brownie formulations were developed to either contain NO cricket powder (Control) or have cricket powder (CP).
