Food Wastes as a Potential new Source for Edible Insect Mass Production for Food and Feed: A review (2019, background): “Regarding consumer acceptance, distribution, rearing conditions, environmental impact, food safety aspects, nutritional value, and use as a component in the diet of farmed animals, pets, and fish, the main commercial edible species harvested in the wild worldwide, but also used for industrial large-”
Willingness to pay for insect-based food: The role of information and carrier (2019, background): “Insects provide a valuable source of high-quality proteins, minerals, vitamins and carbohydrates (DeFoliart, 1992; Belluco et al., 2013; Payne et al., 2016), and due to their high nutritional value, in countries where malnutrition is diffuse, insects may represent a potential solution to deficiencie”
Nutritional Values and Functional Properties of House Cricket (Acheta domesticus) and Field Cricket (Gryllus bimaculatus) (2019, background): “…healthy food source and that is highly nutritious that is rich in protein, healthy fats, vitamins, fibre and minerals with low carbohydrates but also are more environmentally friendly to raise than other livestock protein sources (Banjo et al ., 2006; Zielińska et al ., 2015; Payne et al ., 2016).”
Insect meals in fish nutrition (2018, background): “3% and 76% (Finke 2002; Makkar et al. 2014; S anchez-Muros et al. 2014; Payne et al. 2015), and fat contents, which can vary from 7.”
Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) Meal as a Promising Feed Ingredient for Poultry: A Comprehensive Review (2020, background): “For example, their last larval stage—the so-called prepupa—has a high content of protein and fat, containing up to 47% crude protein and 35% ether extract on a dry matter basis [11,18,27,28], making them a suitable feed ingredient for pigs, poultry, and also fish.”
Unlocking the biological potential of proteins from edible insects through enzymatic hydrolysis: A review (2017, background): “163 In a recent systematic review conducted on 12 edible insects, Payne et al. (2016) found a large 164 variability in their composition.”
Economic and ecological importance of termites: A global review (2018, background): “The protein content of Odontotermes sp. is 33.67% (Chakravorty et al. 2016), Macrotermes sp. is 24.5% (Payne et al. 2016) and Macrotermes nigeriensis Sjostedt termites is 20.94% (Igwe et al. 2011).”
Australian Consumers’ Response to Insects as Food (2019, background): “In general, insects are considered to have several nutritional benefits such as high content of proteins, unsaturated fatty acids, and micronutrients [16], with a considerable nutrient variation depending on the feed composition used during the rearing process [17].”
Insect and fish by-products as sustainable alternatives to conventional animal proteins in animal nutrition (2020, background): “Insects can be considered also a good source of vitamins (especially vitamin B12) and bioavailable minerals, particularly iron and zinc (Finke 2015; Payne et al. 2016).”
