Resumo(s)
This review is focused on the utilization of
insects as a new opportunity in food and feed products,
including their commercialization both in traditional and
new markets. It has been suggested that insects are con -
siderably more sustainable when compared with other
sources of animal protein, thus alleviating the pressure
over the environment and the planet facing the necessity
to feed the world population, constantly increasing. Many
chefs have adhered to the trend of using insects in their
culinary preparations, bringing insects to the plan of top
gastronomy, highlighting their organoleptic qualities allied
to a recognized high nutritional value. However, in some
markets, insects or insect - based products are not readily
accepted because of neophobia and disgust. Moreover, the
insect markets, farming, and commercialization are experi -
encing a huge growth, in which the domain of animal feed
is undoubtedly a very strong component. The future of
insects as human food and animal feed seems promising
in view of the recent trends and challenges.
