“…Edible insects are a good source of compounds with diverse biological activities, for example, antioxidant activity. In this line, free radicals generated in natural biological processes can induce oxidative stress, affecting lipids, proteins, ribonucleic acid (RNA), and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), triggering aging processes and chronic diseases [ 26 ]. Several insect species contain high amounts of bioactive compounds that have been found helpful in treating wounds, microbial infections, bleeding, respiratory disorders, rheumatism, cough, cancer, and diarrhea [ [27] , [28] , [29] ].…”

“…Chitin, a polysaccharide considered dietary fiber, forms the cuticle and the supporting exoskeleton, and represents up to 50 % of carbohydrates in insects [ 3 ]. This compound stimulates the immune system [ 83 ], provides protection against possible parasitic and allergic infections [ 84 ], modulates the intestinal microbiota [ 85 , 86 ], and has antimicrobial, antioxidant, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties [ 26 , 87 ]. Although this compound is considered a source of fiber for humans, its elimination improves protein digestibility [ 88 ].…”

“…Edible insects are believed to be good sources of carotene and vitamins, such as B1, B2, B6, D, E, K, and C [18][19][20]. Edible insects contain up to 20% sugars and fatty acids [21].…”

“…A study using an aqueous extract of V. affinis revealed that the extract exhibits good antioxidant activities [7], while other studies have demonstrated that the V. affinis has circular molecules that are larger than those in other hornets [8]. Further studies have focused on the effects of the V. affinis attack and the possible uses of the V. affinis itself as an edible material [9][10][11]. Apart from these dangerous things, it turns out that this type of wasp plays an important role in the pollination process in cucumber plants (Cucumis sativus Linn.)…”
