Reseña del libro "Insects as Food and Feed: Production to Consumption (en Inglés)"

Also available as E-book see insects-as-food-feed-from-production-to-consumption . For more information about the e-book, please contact Sales. Alternative protein sources are urgently required as the available land area is not sufficient to satisfy the growing demand for meat. Insects have a high potential of becoming a new sector in the food and feed industry, mainly because of the many environmental benefits when compared to meat production. This will be outlined in the book, as well as the whole process from rearing to marketing. The rearing involves large scale and small scale production, facility design, the management of diseases, and how to assure that the insects will be of high quality (genetics). The nutrient content of insects will be discussed and how this is influenced by life stage, diet, the environment and processing. Technological processing requires decontamination, preservation, and ensuring microbial safety. The prevention of health risks (e.g. allergies) will be discussed as well as labelling, certification and legislative frameworks. Additional issues are: insect welfare, the creation of an enabling environment, how to deal with consumers, gastronomy and marketing strategies. Examples of production systems will be given both from the tropics (palm weevils, grasshoppers, crickets) and from temperate zones (black soldier flies and house flies as feed and mealworms and crickets as food). Detailed photographs are shown at the beginning of each section and chapter. This book is accompanied by Open Access e-learning that has been made possible by the Uyttenboogaart-Eliasen Foundation (UES). The e-learning materials are located at https: //e-insects.wageningenacademic.com. These materials include high resolution macro photographs and 360 degrees view photographs of several edible insect species, relevant information on the species that are being shown, questions to test your knowledge on edible insects, and information explaining the technique used to make the photographs."
