Characterization of Farmed Edible Insect Species
Original language description
Three different farmed species: yellow mealworm (Tenebrio molitor), migratory locust (Locusta migratoria) and house cricket (Acheta domestica) were investigated. The quality of the lyophilized insects was assessed regarding the amino acids, fatty acids, polyphenols and elemental composition using GC-MS, LC-MS/MS and ICP-MS. Safety has been assessed by calculating the risk to human health resulting from consuming potentially toxic elements. Also, antioxidant activity and anti-inflammatory effects have been measured. In addition, analysis of the stable isotopic composition of light elements (?13C, ?15N, ?34S) has been performed using IRMS since isotopic ratios can discriminate among species and across diets and are important for establishing the authenticity of insect-based products.
