“…The larvae of the black soldier fly ( Hermetia illucens ) are a popular source of protein as animal feed; it is an insect with an enormous reproductive capacity, rapid growth, and great capacity to process a range of by-products, and because of the high percentage of high-quality protein it produces. This type of fly does not transmit any disease to humans, animals, or plants [ 44 ]. The use of black soldier fly larvae or larval meals has been evaluated in trials with chickens, pigs, and tilapia, which, due to their qualities, allow easy incorporation and greater precision in the formulation of animal diets, providing crude protein and highly desirable lipids with medium chains (up to 76%), monounsaturated fatty acids (up to 32%), and polyunsaturated fatty acids (up to 23%) [ 45 ].…”

Every day, there is an increase in environmental damage on the planet regarding human action. One of the causes is food production. Edible insects are presented as an option to mitigate the environmental damage generated by the production of conventional food for humans and animals. The objective of this study was to investigate the main nutritional aspects of insects and how they can provide a nutritional and sustainable alternative to the planet. As the main results, the nine orders of insects that are most consumed on the planet are presented: Blattodea, Coleoptera, Diptera, Hemiptera, Hymenoptera, Isoptera, Lepidoptera, Odonata, and Orthoptera. Their main macro- and micronutrient aspects as well as their bioavailable and bioaccessibility proteins and essential amino acids, monounsaturated fatty acids, minerals, vitamins, and fiber (chitin) are also explored. Additionally, some of the species that are used for animal food processing and the possible risks that insects can present when used as food are discussed. With this, edible insects are established as a real option to mitigate climate change being an important nutritional source for the development of food for humans and animals.

“…The undisputed leaders in the number of insect species used are Thailand, Laos, Indonesia, China, Vietnam, Mexico, Brazil, and Australia. But even in the USA, Argentina, and a number of Western European countries, there are traditions of eating insects [22,23]. Figure 3 shows the main branches of insect consumption.…”

Due to the increase in the population on the planet, there is a question of an acute shortage of food. A particularly global problem is the lack of protein -the primary building material for all body tissues, organs, and systems. Modern scientists consider algae, microorganisms, and insects to be alternative protein sources. Studies of insect protein show a complete amino acid composition with a fairly large proportion of essential amino acids. In addition to protein, the insect body contains fats, including in the form of polyunsaturated fatty acids, as well as copper, zinc, calcium, and some other trace elements. In some countries (Asian and African), edible insects are taken for food; in some American and European countries, insects are bred in order to process them into pet and bird feed. However, many researchers do not doubt that only eating insects will be able to solve the problem of protein deficiency associated with overpopulation in the future. This article describes the advantages of insect biomass as a source of high nutritional value, which can be produced in large quantities without much harm to the environment. The social factors influencing the potential willingness of residents of different countries to consume insects for food are also described.

Two major problems challenge the world of food today: the constantly growing demand for meat products and dealing with the volumes of waste produced by the industry. The volume of slaughterhouse derivatives produced when generating meat products threatens the health of humans and the environment. The need to feed a growing population sustainably and to find more sustainable and circular alternative treatment technologies for handling and disposing of slaughtering derivatives undoubtedly creates opportunities for several role players. A comprehensive bibliometric analysis was undertaken to identify such processes, considering the different slaughterhouse derivatives generated by red meat and poultry slaughterhouse facilities. The literature search and refinement process identified 130 scientific documents for analysis. The results highlight an increase in the scientific literature on the sustainable recovery of slaughterhouse derivatives, and a diverse range of available treatment technologies to dispose of such derivatives.
