Wild edible plant markets in Kisangani, Democratic Republic of Congo Universiteit Gent
A systematic review on the contributions of edible plant and animal biodiversity to human diets Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
The sustainable use of natural and agricultural biodiversity in the diet can be instrumental to preserve existing food biodiversity, address malnutrition, and mitigate adverse effects of dietary changes worldwide. This systematic review of literature summarizes the current evidence on the contribution of plant and animal biodiversity to human diets in terms of energy intake, micronutrient intake, and dietary diversification. Peer-reviewed ...

Edible insects by Human in Western French Africa Plantentuin Meise / Agentschap Plantentuin Meise
Edible insects have been consumed for a long time by the inhabitants of various countries in West Africa. Data has been collected in Niger, Mali, Guinea Conakry, Burkina Faso, Benin and Togo and a number of different species recorded. Among the identified species, winged termites, crickets, locusts and caterpillars are the most commonly consumed. In the future edible insects could replace meat and offer a practical solution in terms of food ...

Techniques de récolte et exploitation durable des chenilles comestibles dans la région de Yangambi, RD Congo Harvesting techniques and sustainable exploitation of edible caterpillars in the Yangambi region, DR Congo Plantentuin Meise / Agentschap Plantentuin Meise
This study, which is part of an approach to the management of edible caterpillars and their host plants, sought to understand the exploitation of caterpillars and their host plants by the population of Yangambi and the possible consequences on their production, sustainability and environmental preservation. A survey using a pre-designed questionnaire was carried out among 140 randomly selected respondents and focus groups were set up to ...
Zinc distribution and speciation within rocket plants (Eruca vesicaria L. Cavalieri) grown on a polluted soil amended with compost as determined by XRF microtomography and Micro-XANES KU Leuven Universiteit Antwerpen
Zinc distribution and speciation within different organs (root, petiole, and leaf) of the edible plant Eruca vesicaria L. Cavalieri were determined using synchrotron microbeam X-ray techniques (XRF microtomography and mu-XANES) for plants grown in polluted soil with or without compost amendment. Data on soil derived from different extraction procedures and using mu-XANES analyses on rhizospheric soil indicated that compost amendment did not ...
Detection and toxicity evaluation of pyrrolizidine alkaloids in medicinal plants Gynura bicolor and Gynura divaricata collected from different Chinese locations Universiteit Gent Universiteit Antwerpen
Two edible plants in Southeast Asia, Gynura bicolor and G.divaricata, are not only known to be nutritive but also useful as medicinal herbs. Previous phytochemical investigation of Gynura species showed the presence of hepatotoxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs), indicating the toxic risk of using these two plants. The present study was designed to analyze the distribution of PA components and tried to evaluate the preliminary toxicity of these ...
