Insect Oil as a Source of Nutraceuticals: New Approaches in the Food and Feed Industry explores how removing insect lipids can be an important source to not only ensure future food security, but also show the many uses of how insect oil can be a fat replacer in food, medicine, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. While edible insect species are harvested in large numbers to contribute to food security, and as a source of alternative animal protein, their oil has not been seen in all parts of the world as part of the human diet.

With more than 1,900 types of edible insects that can be consumed as food, and the fact that edible insects comprise of approximately 20% fat, the second most abundant nutrient after protein, this book is a welcomed addition on the topic.
