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.
- Explores fat, an insect’s second most abundant nutrient
- Analyzes the potential of this fat for an alternative oil in food
- Highlights insect oil’s fat for nutritional, functional, and medicinal purposes
- Identifies the aroma patterns and quality characteristics of edible insect oils and foods best suited for use
