The processing of insects is paramount to deliver safe and high quality raw materials, ingredients products for large-scale food feed applications. Depending upon the nature initial material desired end product, pathways vary may include several unit operations currently already used in processing.

With the phase-out and impending ban of methyl bromide, sulfuryl fluoride is among the most promising alternative fumigant insecticides for control of stored-product insect pests. It has been evaluated for control of several stored-product insect pests, but there are few data available on its efficacy for control of stored-product psocids (Psocoptera). We evaluated sulfuryl fluoride for control...

Granaries and food storage depots provide an essentially dark environment offering only occasional low-level illumination which is rarely intense enough to make spectral discrimination possible. Nevertheless insects adapted to such environments have been found to display phototactic responses (Balfour & Carmichael, 1928; Rahman & Sohi, 1939; Perttunen& Lahermaa, 1963; Yinon& Shulov, 1966; Sohi,...

A computer model for simulating population dynamics of Lyctocoris campestris (F.), a predator of stored-product insects, was developed using data from the literature and newly collected data for adult longevity and fecundity. Immature development time and survival, adult longevity, fecundity, and cannibalism were simulated. The model was validated at ambient environmental conditions during thre...
