This study investigated the effects of supplementing diet a slow-growing autochthonous chicken breed with dehydrated or live Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) on meat quality and sensory attributes. The research, conducted at University Turin, Italy, involved 144 male birds distributed in three experimental groups. control group (C) was fed basal which soybean meal completely substituted alternative ingredients. two groups were administered identical to but supplemented either whole black soldier fly larvae (DL) (LL) level equal 5% expected daily feed intake dry matter. We evaluated following parameters: nutrient intake, slaughtering performance, physical nutritional quality, fatty acid composition, proteomics, characteristics. results demonstrated BSFL supplementation have no detrimental overall Specifically, there significant differences parameters, lipid oxidation, protein digestibility between BSFL-fed Fatty analysis revealed higher concentrations lauric myristic acids breast (p<0.005), suggesting potential benefits from supplement. proteomic also showed expression abundant proteins groups, indicating minimal physiological impact supplementation. Overall, this provides reassurance consumers industries about suitability as sustainable supplement for poultry that offers terms optimizing profile meat.

The current food system is placing significant strain on limited available resources. Novel protein sources have been suggested as a potential solution for ensuring further growth without compromising the natural balance of planet. In this direction, edible insects appear to be crucial players. Consumers may not always prefer direct use human food, indicating that indirect animal feed might more suitable. Insects are characterised by high nutritional value and similar digestibility compared traditional such soybean meal fishmeal. However, effective introduction in diets requires one or processing operations. Processing paramount microbiological safety while improving quality, palatability insect. Additionally, could allow combination insect-based ingredients with other ingredients, obtaining uniform stable mixture, which can easily conveniently provided farmed animals. review, an overview most common methods (blanching, grinding, drying, mixing, extrusion) applied aim delivering high-quality presented. Each step carefully evaluated, pros cons each operation considered important recommendations provided. Barriers opportunities advancing within sector finally illustrated. A strong emphasis placed need evaluating effect any quality insect-derived products, particularly considering possibility replacing materials.

The agri-food industry would greatly benefit from a solution based on sustainable approach inspired by the Farm-to-Fork strategy to fulfill global food demands for primary foodstuffs. Entomophagy has all potential answer cornerstones of 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development. From nutritional standpoint, insects are emerging as high-protein meat alternative, with many edible having profiles similar other commonly eaten plant and animal products while be more ecologically friendly source nutrients humans. However, safety concerns remain underexplored, including microbiological, allergenicity, chemical risks. Furthermore, regulatory frameworks, such Regulation (EU) No 2015/2283 novel foods, continue evolve but exhibit significant gaps in addressing complexities insect-based products. Public perception cultural acceptance also pose additional challenges. Therefore, this review examines insects' addresses key obstacles their integration into human diets. Particular focus is given challenges that must overcome ensure consumer confidence. By fostering better understanding entomophagy's benefits risks, work aims support its adoption viable enhancing sustainability sector.

Chitin and chitosan are valuable biopolymers with various applications, ranging from food to pharmaceuticals. Traditionally sourced crustaceans, the rising demand for chitin/chitosan, paired development of insect sector, has led exploration biomass its byproducts as a potential source. Conventional processes rely on hazardous chemicals, raising environmental concerns. This critical review evaluates emerging "greener" approaches, including biological methods, green solvents, advanced processing techniques, chitin/chitosan production insect-derived materials such exuviae cocoons. Two systematic evaluations included: (1) cross-comparison chitin yields across life stages (e.g., up 35.7% black soldier fly (BSF) larval exoskeletons can be obtained) (2) stepwise sustainability assessment over 30 extraction workflows reported 16 studies. While many labeled green, only few, bromelain, lactic acid fermentations, or NADES-based processes, demonstrated fully stage. No study achieved conversion chitosan, typically required low fat content minimal pretreatment. These findings will useful identify opportunities underscore need refine greener improve yields, reduce impurities, enable industrial-scale production, while data generated.
