Insects as food: A review on risks assessments of Tenebrionidae and Gryllidae in relation to a first machines and plants development

摘要: Abstract The demand for protein food with low environmental impact is currently a major challenge production. Insects represent potential source of good quality food, that rich in nutrients, cheaper, and easier to produce, potentially lower impact. Nevertheless, insects could present significant risks the consumers' safety workers this emerging production chain. This highlights need specific comprehensive approach can guarantee safe working conditions risk-free products. aim review summarize current knowledge pertaining microbial, chemical, physical, allergenic breeding, transformation, consumption edible insects. In particular, given lack studies, purpose paper suggest strategies orient development machines plants chain ameliorative effects on both finished product workers’ safety. Despite very appealing nutritional profile high proteins, lipids, vitamins, minerals, fiber, several risks, mainly related microbial contamination, accumulation chemical contaminants like toxins heavy metals, allergenicity through inhalation or ingestion by consumers. paper, according findings achieved systematic review, suggests strategies, processes, treatments, which guide ad hoc aimed food.
