The Acceptance of Insects as Part of Food by Consumers in the Czech Republic

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Insects are considered a promising source of sustainably-produced protein-rich foods. Western culture attitude towards the value of edible insects dramatically changed in the past 20 years. Even in the Czech Republic the interest in Entomophagy is growing. The cultural centre in Mšec in the Czech Republic held public events. 164 visitors came within two days. Visitors heard a lecture about five breeding species of edible insects and then tasted the dishes with these insects. There were those species: Tenebrio molitor, Zophobasatratus, Locustamigratoria, Apismellifera, Gryllusassimillis. Respondents evaluated the taste of insects, the smell, the crunchiness and softness of insects in food, the succulence of insects, the visibility of insect bodies in food, the difficulty of treatment and the difficulty of breeding. The research showed that respondents chose Apis mellifera and Gryllusassimillis as insects with the best flavours and aroma. Other results showed the suitability of individual insect species to Entomophagy needs in the Czech Republic. Research has also shown how to handle insects in the food that the consumer is the most accepted. Based on these results, we concluded that edible insects could be accepted by consumers as part of food in the Czech Republic.
