This study chose migrant locusts (<i>Locusta migratoria</i>) due to their high protein content and potential to obtain Halal certification and sustainable production. In this study, 326 questionnaires were distributed online using non-probability sampling methods among Malaysian consumers.

In addition, the correlations between FNS and IPS scores towards WTC scores showed a negative correlation, with the IPS-WTC (− 0.399) correlation being stronger than FNS-WTC (− 0.216). Regarding demographic background, statistically significant variables for total FNS and IPS scores were limited to age group and gender.

The water temperature and plate inclination were selected as process parameters ranging from 40 to 70 °C and 30–60° respectively. The honey quality during the process was adjudged on the basis of heat sensitive variables such as hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) content, diastase activity and colour.
