Safety and quality of farmed insects
Original language description
INPROFF, which stands for "Insect Protein as Food and Feed", is a three-year project funded by the Slovenian Research Agency (ARRS) and the Czech Science Foundation (GAČR). The project aims to bridge the knowledge gap regarding the quality, safety, and authenticity of farmed insects, as well as to explore strategies for enhancing the value chain of insect-based food and feed production. As part of this work, we have investigated the quality of freeze-dried Tenebrio molitor, Locusta migratoria, and Acheta domestica in terms of fatty acid and polyphenol composition, as well as their safety concerning potential toxic elements and pesticide residues. Fatty acids and polyphenols were determined using GC-MSD and LC-MS/MS methods, while the elemental composition was determined using an optimized ICP-MS method. Additionally, target analysis was employed to identify possible residues of over 300 currently used pesticides, and comprehensive workflows have been developed to facilitate both suspect screening and non-targeted LC-HRMS-based investigations. Furthermore, the potential health risk was also calculated based on the data obtained. Some preliminary results from the project will be presented.
