TASTING OF SPHENARIUM PURPURASCENS (ORTHOPTERA: ACRIDIDAE) AND COMADIA REDTENBACHERI (LEPIDOPTERA: COSSIDAE) BY PANAMANIANS IN CHAPINGO – TEXCOCO, MEXICO
Entomophagy is a cultural component in biodiverse countries like Mexico. Insects are rich in protein and other nutrients, being considered a healthy food alternative; However, this gastronomic offer is not common in Panama. A Panamanian delegation of 18 people (students, professors and professionals) visited Chapingo – Texcoco, so they were able to taste two species of insects: Sphenarium purpurascens Charpentier, 1845 (Orthoptera: Acrididae), known as chapulín, and larvae of Comadia redtenbacheri (Lepidoptera: Cossidae), locally called chinicuil. The aim of the study was to know the perception of these people after tasting insects. Using Google forms, an electronic survey was presented with three questions, of which the answers were that: 56% had not consumed insects before, 34% preferred chinicuil, 22% preferred grasshopper, 11% did not like any of them and 50% would eat insects again. In conclusion, entomophagy can be accepted by people with higher education in Panama.
