“…In accordance with the strategy of other international Nutrition Societies [12,56], the Working Group decided to use age-and sex-specific protein requirements only when they were determined in controlled nitrogen balance studies. Within the last years, the indicator amino acid oxidation (IAAO) method was proposed as an alternative, probably more precise technology to estimate the protein requirements [57,58]. Until today, the IAAO method has been only occasionally used to determine protein requirement in children [59], young adults [60][61][62], older people [63,64], and pregnant women [65].…”

Background: Following a timely update process, the nutrition societies of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland (D-A-CH) revised the reference values for the intake of protein in 2017. The Working Group conducted a structured literature search in PubMed considering newly published papers (2000– 2017). Summary: For infants < 4 months, the estimated values were set based on the protein intake via breast milk. Reference values for infants > 4 months, children, adolescents, pregnant, and lactating women were calculated using the factorial method considering both requirement for growth and maintenance. For adults, reference values were derived from nitrogen balance studies; for seniors (> 65 years), reports on metabolic and functional parameters under various protein intakes were additionally considered. Reference values (g protein/kg body weight per day) were set as follows: infants < 4 months: 2.5–1.4, children: 1.3–0.8, adults < 65 years: 0.8, adults > 65 years: 1.0. Key Messages: The reference values for infants, children, adolescents, and adults < 65 years are essentially unchanged compared to recently published values. Scientifically reliable data published between 2000 and 2017 guided the D-A-CH Working Group to set a higher estimated value for adults > 65 years. Since the energy consumption continuously decreases with age, this new estimated protein intake value might be a challenge for the introduction of food-based nutrition concepts for older people.

“…Protein energy malnutrition is very common in the world and has severe effects on brain functions; in addition, people with protein energy malnutrition have a decreased immune function and, hence, are more susceptible to infectious diseases. 8 Protein requirements are 15% of total diet, so excess proteins can be transformed into carbohydrates (energy source) by gluconeogenesis. As it is shown in Table 4, protein content of Chicatana ant is high (31.88g/100gr dry sample), so it might be a good option to fulfill protein requirements for maintaining appropriate metabolic functions.…”

The aim of this research was to assess the nutritional content of macronutrients in ants of the adult stage of a Hymenoptera order and the link with a positive impact in human health. Methodology Sample collection Convenience sampling was performed during early summer 2017, in the country side near by the city of Oaxaca, Oaxaca. Part of the sample was placed in glass containers and labeled with the data of
