ALTERNATİF PROTEİN KAYNAĞI OLARAK YENİLEBİLİR BÖCEKLER VE TÜKETİCİ KABULÜ

GIDA / THE JOURNAL OF FOOD, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 49(3), P. 567 - 579

Published: May 28, 2024

Böcekler antik çağlardan beri birçok kültürde yerel mutfağın bir parçası olmuştur. Dünyanın bölgesinde hali hazırda tüketilmekte olan böceklerin besin içeriği, onların alternatif protein kaynağı olarak da dikkat çekmesine sebep Dünya nüfusunun yaklaşık %10’u gıdaya erişim konusunda problem yaşamakta, neredeyse 1 milyar insan yetersiz beslenmeye bağlı hastalıklarla karşı karşıya gelmektedir. Artan nüfusun gıda talebini karşılamak için mevcut üretim modeli kaldığı gibi, nüfusa artan tarımsal de atmosfere daha fazla sera gazı salınımına küresel ısınmayı hızlandırmaktadır. yüksek içerikleri sayesinde ihtiyacını geleneksel hayvan proteinlerinin yerini alabilecek potansiyele sahiptir. Ancak bu hususta yetkili otoritelerin güvenliği endişeleri olduğu tüketici kabulünde zorluklar bulunmaktadır. Üretim modelleri ve ileri işleme teknikleri ile endişelerinin, farklı pazarlama market stratejileri yaşanan zorlukların üstesinden gelmek mümkündür. Bu derlemede yenilebilir potansiyeli böceklere tutumu değerlendirilmiştir.

Ad libitum feeding of silkworm larvae powder-containing diets specifically influences metabolism-related and short-chain fatty acid-producing gut bacteria in mice

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14

Published: June 14, 2024

Silkworm ( Bombyx mori ) larvae are expected to be useful as an ingredient in entomophagy. They full of nutrients, including indigestible proteins; however, there have been few studies on the effects consumption entire body silkworms intestinal microflora. We prepared a customized diet containing silkworm larval powder (SLP), and investigated ad libitum feeding SLP microbiota amount short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) mice. found that diversity cecal fecal increased mice fed (SLP group), composition their differed from control Furthermore, genus-level analysis showed group, proportions Alistipes , Lachnospiraceae A2, RF39, which associated with prevention obesity, were significantly increased, while Helicobacter Anaerotruncus decreased. Additionally, level butyrate was Clostridia UCG 014 FCS020 butyrate, one major SCFAs. These findings indicated may insect food might also improve obesity.

Harnessing the Power of Insects: A Sustainable Approach to Food and Feed Production

European Journal of Nutrition & Food Safety, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 16(8), P. 294 - 308

Published: Aug. 21, 2024

This study looks at the potential of insects as a sustainable food and feed source in light challenges posed by an increasing global population environmental impacts from conventional livestock farming. It points out that different species are rich proteins, essential amino acids, healthy fats, micronutrients which makes them suitable for human consumption well animal feed. The paper also discusses benefits associated with insect farming such reduced land use, lower water usage, decreased greenhouse gas emissions, upcycling organic waste thus contributing to circular economy within production systems. In addition, it talks about scaling up like consumer acceptance or regulatory frameworks around this industry. By examining these aspects, article hopes shed some on how can improve security sustainability. Finally, aims building holistic understanding what role could be played bugs transforming our dietary system while meeting nutritional needs but minimizing ecological footprints.

Unveiling the Nutritional Quality of Terrestrial Animal Source Foods by Species and Characteristics of Livestock Systems

Nutrients, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 16(19), P. 3346 - 3346

Published: Oct. 2, 2024

Background. It is well-established that a range of macronutrients, micronutrients and bioactive compounds found in animal-source foods play unique important roles human health as part healthy diet. Methods. This narrative review focuses on terrestrial animal source (TASFs). particularly analyzes five groups: poultry eggs, milk, unprocessed meat, from hunting wildlife farming, insects. The objectives were follows: (1) examine the nutrient composition TASFs within across livestock species, drawing country regional food databases; (2) analyze influence intrinsic characteristics production practices TASF nutritional quality. Results. are rich high-quality proteins fats, well such vitamin B12, iron or zinc. study differences quality by species products, systems. Our findings suggest there may be public opportunities diversifying consumption improving certain aspects systems to provide products both more sustainable higher Conclusions. Future research should adopt holistic approach examining matrix dietary patterns digestibility. necessary include meat farming insects global databases, limited literature was found. In addition, scarce low- middle-income countries, highlighting need for further exploration analysis how system impact their value.

Edible insects: Maybe environmentally friendly, maybe healthy, maybe tasty—But are we ready to farm them?

Annals of Applied Biology, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Dec. 29, 2024

Abstract For some time, environmental researchers and activists have been trying to convince the world that there is an urgent need change dietary habits of modern human population. Their reasoning based on several issues, with two main pillars supporting whole concept. One involves mitigating global hunger, other addresses impact today's agricultural production has environment, particularly due extensive intensive practices, especially in developing countries regions help feed their populations. Perhaps most promising proposal—and, as bibliometric analysis shows, more popular scientific community—is replace animal protein insect protein. It would allow for shifting from animal‐based insect‐based. In order address this concept, research community deeply involved studying edible insects over last decade. doing so, examined nutritional value, sustainable impact, consumer acceptance, challenges opportunities various perspectives. might think such deep knowledge, industry well‐equipped initiate shift. article, we argue statement far true. appears literature fails what likely important aspect producers: farming techniques along related topics feeding, protection diseases, pathogens, pests, rearing conditions, breeding, many factors.

Instead waiting, they focus addressing aspects farming. is, fact, ahead science, farms spreading across world. However, them succeed, strong support science urgently needed.
