Potential and challenges of insects as an innovative source for food and feed production (2013, background): “Up-scaling is necessary since mass production of edible insects had been defined as the production of 1 t/day on the FAO technical consultation meeting in 2012 (Vantomme et al., 2012).”
Why we still don't eat insects: Assessing entomophagy promotion through a diffusion of innovations framework (2015, background): “Insect-eating by humans occurs globally (Ramos-Elorduy, 2009), but remains rare or even taboo in most cultures in the developed world (van Huis, 2013).”
Unlocking the biological potential of proteins from edible insects through enzymatic hydrolysis: A review (2017, background): “…essential amino acids (i.e. Ile, 185 Leu, Lys, Met, Phe, Thr, Trp and Val) may be found across different insect species (for review, 186 see: Sánchez-Muros et al., 2014; Sun-Waterhouse et al., 2016; van Huis, 2013, 2016; van Huis et 187 al., 2013; Ying, Xiaoming, Long, & Zhiyong, 2010).”
Exploring the chemical safety of fly larvae as a source of protein for animal feed (2015, background): “Insects thrive on waste products from various sources including those which have no other use; they efficiently convert nitrogenous compounds into valuable protein whilst requiring fewer valuable resources such as land and water per unit protein than protein crops (Van Huis, 2013).”
Nutritional value of two insect larval meals (Tenebrio molitor and Hermetia illucens) for broiler chickens: Apparent nutrient digestibility, apparent ileal amino acid digestibility and apparent metabolizable energy (2015, background): “672 Van Huis, A., 2013.”
Partial or total replacement of soybean oil by black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens L.) fat in broiler diets: effect on growth performances, feed-choice, blood traits, carcass characteristics and meat quality (2017, background): “Indeed they generate low greenhouse gas and ammonia emissions, have a favourable feed conversion ratio as cold-blooded animals, and require few water and soil to grow (van Huis 2013; Makkar et al. 2014).”
Willingness to pay for insect-based food: The role of information and carrier (2019, methodology): “We elaborated those two categories of benefits starting from the categorization proposed by the FAO report (Van Huis, 2013) in which benefits for individual (healthiness) and benefits for community (environment) are stated.”
