Abstract:SummaryThe use of insects as food is a hot topic today and the obtaining and comprehensive characterisation of insect meals is relevant since any scientific information represents progress towards the real use of these ‘new foods’. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the chemical composition of flours obtained from Sphenarium purpurascens Ch. and Nauphoeta cinerea, identify the main components and know their functional properties and thermal profile in flours and their mixtures to establish … Show more
