Management with micronutrient composition of entomoproducts by edible insects’ feeding schedule optimisation

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: . House crickets can serve a source of minerals and trace elements in the human diet, and there is a risk of excessive intake of mineral elements when using raw materials from A. domesticus in food. In spite of the fact that the results of the conducted studies indicate the possibility of adjusting the elemental composition of cricket biomass by changing the feed formulation and feeding regimes, when developing hygienic (sanitary and chemical) standards for novel objects of technical regulation - raw materials and food derived from insects, it is necessary to take into consideration the variability of mineral composition and include manganese, copper, zinc and chromium in the list of controlled indicators.
