Research Abstract
In this study, we investigated the potential of edible insects, which are expected to be a new animal-derived protein resource, as a novel food. The purpose of this study was to draw out the various possibilities of insects as food products, including their functionality and nutritional value, and to establish a sustainable production system with low environmental impact, as well as to explore the possibility of market expansion. To achieve these objectives, the following three topics were investigated: (1) establishment of sustainable edible insect production technology, (2) quality evaluation of insects as food and feed, and (3) consumer awareness survey and market strategy. This research will establish an academic platform for the promotion of edible insect production by providing guidelines to support sustainable food production, including production management, proper food processing, and market strategies.
