Entomophagy describes the practice of eating insects. Insects are considered extremely nutritious in many countries worldwide. However, there is a lethargic uptake this Europe where consuming insects and insect-based foodstuffs often regarded with disgust. Such perceptions concerns due to lack exposure availability food-grade as food source driven by neophobia cultural norms. In recent years, accelerating climate change, an urgency develop alternate safe sustainable food-sources has emerged. There currently over 2000 species approved World Health Organization eat suitable for human consumption. This review article provides updated overview potential edible safe, palatable, source.

Abstract Nowadays, it is urgent to produce in larger quantities and more sustainably reduce the gap between food supply demand. In a circular bioeconomy vision, insects receive great attention as sustainable alternative satisfy nutritional needs. Among all insects, Tenebrio molitor (TM) first insect approved by European Food Safety Authority novel specific conditions uses, testifying its growing relevance potential. This review holistically presents possible role of TM solution needs for nutrients. We analyze high value‐added products obtained from (powders extracts, oils fatty acids, proteins peptides, chitin chitosan), their recovery processes (evaluating best ones technical environmental terms), economical values, biological effects. aspects are also mentioned. potential undoubted, but some still need be discussed, including health effects substances microorganisms body, optimal production (that affect product quality safety), capacity convert by‐products into new products.
