Insect meal is gaining increased attention in aquafeed formulations due to high protein content and an essential amino acid profile similar to that of fishmeal. To investigate insect meal in feed for European perch Perca fluviatilis, a promising candidate for European intensive culture, we replaced standard fishmeal with partially defatted black soldier fly Hermetia illucens larva meal at rates of 0%, 20%, 40% and 60% (groups CON, H20, H40 and H60, respectively) and compared growth performance, somatic indices, hematological parameters, whole-body proximate composition and occurrence of spleen lipidosis. In addition, we assessed the economic and environmental sustainability of the tested feeds by calculating economic conversion ratio (ECR) and economic profit index (EPI). The tested groups did not differ in survival rate. Significant differences were documented in final body weight and specific growth rate, with the highest values in CON, H20 and H40. The proximate composition of fish whole-body at the end of the experiment did not differ in dry matter, crude protein or ether extract, while organic matter, ash and gross energy composition showed significant differences. The fatty acid content and n-3/n-6 ratio showed a decreasing trend with increasing H. illucens larva meal inclusion. No differences were found in hematological parameters among tested groups. The H. illucens larva meal inclusion significantly affected ECR and EPI, even at 20% inclusion level the cost of diets did not differ from the control fish meal based diet. Results suggested that 40% inclusion of H. illucens larva meal can be used successfully in standard diets for perch.

“…That is the reason that meat analogues face more and more criticism for being artificial products [ 8 ]. The use of less refined ingredients is a development that gains traction in recent years [ 9 , 10 , 11 ]. To maintain new innovation in meat analogues, it is imperative to understand the role of each ingredient (refined or not) and their interplay to find alternatives that are better appreciated by consumers.…”

Meat analogue research and development focuses on the production of sustainable products that recreate conventional meat in its physical sensations (texture, appearance, taste, etc.) and nutritional aspects. Minced products, like burger patties and nuggets, muscle-type products, like chicken or steak-like cuts, and emulsion products, like Frankfurter and Mortadella type sausages, are the major categories of meat analogues. In this review, we discuss key ingredients for the production of these novel products, with special focus on protein sources, and underline the importance of ingredient functionality. Our observation is that structuring processes are optimized based on ingredients that were not originally designed for meat analogues applications. Therefore, mixing and blending different plant materials to obtain superior functionality is for now the common practice. We observed though that an alternative approach towards the use of ingredients such as flours, is gaining more interest. The emphasis, in this case, is on functionality towards use in meat analogues, rather than classical functionality such as purity and solubility. Another trend is the exploration of novel protein sources such as seaweed, algae and proteins produced via fermentation (cellular agriculture).

“…To quantify the CFs of different agricultural production systems around the world, many studies of regional agricultural CF, crop CF, and food CF have been conducted (Hillier et al 2009a;Nelson et al 2009;Wang et al 2015b). Previous studies have quantified the CFs of different crops and patterns of variation in different regions (Hillier et al 2009b;Röös et al 2010;Clay et al 2012;Gan et al 2014;Wang et al 2015a;Wang et al 2016;Günther et al 2017;Houshyar and Grundmann 2017;Pishgar-Komleh et al 2017;Yadav et al 2017;Heusala et al 2020), providing a basis for reducing carbon emissions in agricultural production processes. Other studies focus on technologies and approaches for reducing the CF associated with crop production, with the goal of mitigating the contribution of agricultural production systems to global climate change.…”

Inappropriate farm management practices can lead to increased agricultural inputs and changes in atmospheric greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, impacting climate change. This study assessed the potential of straw retention to mitigate the negative environmental impact of different cropping systems on the Songnen Plain using the life cycle assessment (LCA) method combined with field survey data. Straw retention (STR) and straw removal (STM) treatments were established in continuous corn (CC) and corn-soybean rotation (CS) systems in a split-plot experiment. The effects of straw retention on the carbon footprint (CF) of cropland under different cropping systems were compared. The CF under CC was 2434.0–2706.9 kg CO 2 ha -1 yr -1 , 49.3%–57.3% higher than that under CS. Nitrogen fertilizer produced the most CO 2 , accounting for 66.2%-80.4% of the CF. The carbon balances of the CC and CS systems with STR were positive, with annual carbon sequestrations of 9632.5 and 2715.9 kg CO 2 ha -1 yr -1 , respectively. The carbon balances of the CC and CS systems with STM was negative, with annual carbon sequestrations of -3589.2 and -3006.2 kg CO 2 ha -1 yr -1 , respectively. This study demonstrates that STR under CC cultivation is an environmentally friendly practice for agricultural production, can help achieve high-yield and low-carbon production in rainfed cropland, and can support the sustainable development of grain production in Northeast China.
