Background Despite extensive research on physical activity behaviour (PAB), consensus is lacking on related terms and definitions, thereby hindering the ability to compare findings between studies and to develop reliable assessment tools. This study therefore aimed to establish consensus on the definitions of key PAB determinants. Methods First, an international expert steering committee was established, compri...
For food applications, the processing conditions applied to edible insects should present low energy requirements and environmental impact, while also assuring high quality and safety. The main goal of this study was to assess how different blanching, storage and drying conditions influence the quality and safety of Tenebrio molitor larvae. The different operations included blanching treatments (water-immersion...
Background/Objectives: The purpose of this study is to update results of Portuguese's Report Card on Physical activity (PA) for Children and Adolescents. Methods: The grades were assigned by results derived from the PA and Fitness in Portugal 2021 Portuguese Report Card and corresponds to the third report for the Portuguese children and adolescents. It includes indicators of PA and sedentary behavior (SB) that ...

The goals of this work were to develop extraction techniques that allowed us to obtain protein concentrates from the edible insect Tenebrio molitor larvae, with high protein purity as well as good techno-functional characteristics. Two different protein extraction methods were developed, based on isoelectric point precipitation or membrane ultrafiltration. For both methods, dried T. molitor larvae was defatted ...
It is necessary to develop products with desirable sensory properties in order to increase the acceptance of insect-based products by Western consumers. In this work, the impact of defatting on the sensory properties of cereal bars with yellow mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) larvae, in addition to the impact of different drying methods and different species (T. molitor and house cricket Acheta domesticus) were asse...

Introduction: Physical activity among children and adolescents remains insufficient, despite the substantial efforts made by researchers and policymakers. Identifying and furthering our understanding of potential modifiable determinants of physical activity behaviour (PAB) and sedentary behaviour (SB) is crucial for the development of interventions that promote a shift from SB to PAB. The current protocol detai...
Entomophagy – intentional consumption of insects – is practiced in several regions of the world, particularly in Asia, Africa and Latin America. In the Western world, edible insects have been growing in popularity as novel food and feed. The main objective of this cross-cultural study, performed in Portugal and Norway, was to evaluate the determinants of consumers’ acceptance of insects as food and feed. An onl...
Os insetos comestíveis são uma nova alternativa alimentar, apresentando-se como uma excelente fonte proteica, com grande sustentabilidade ambiental. É vital otimizar as técnicas de processamento de insetos por forma a garantir as melhores condições para a sua utilização como ingrediente alimentar. Neste trabalho, procurou-se compreender os efeitos de diferentes métodos de branqueamento e secagem e a aplicação d...
