“…bone, teeth calcium is considered as an essential nutrient. It is also important for muscle contraction, blood clotting, digestion and outside skeleton formation of organelles and membranes [15]. The highest measured concentrations of scandium, titanium and iodine are 50573.9 mg/kg in Curcuma longa, 17481.3 mg/kg in Centella asiatica and 96897.9 mg/kg in Centella asiatica.…”

Calcium (Ca) is the most abundant mineral element in our body. It accounts for about 2% of body weight. The functions of calcium are: a) functions skeletal and b) regulatory functions. Bone consists of a protein matrix that mineralizes mainly with calcium (the most abundant), phosphate and magnesium, for it is essential an adequate dietary intake of Ca, phosphorus and vitamin D. The ionic Ca (Ca 2+ ) is essential to maintain and / or perform different specialized functions of, virtually, all body cells cellular. Because of its important functions Ca 2+ must be closely regulated, keeping plasma concentrations within narrow ranges. For this reason there is an accurate response against hypocalcemia or hypercalcemia in which the parathormone, calcitriol, calcitonin and vitamin K are involved. Ca intakes in the Spanish population are low in a signifi cant percentage of the older adult's population, especially in women. The main source of Ca in the diet is milk and milk derivatives. Green leafy vegetables, fruits and legumes can be important sources of Ca in a Mediterranean dietary pattern. The bioavailability of dietary Ca depends on physiological and dietary factors. Physiological include age, physiological status (gestation and lactation) Ca and vitamin D status and disease. Several studies relate Ca intake in the diet and various diseases, such as osteoporosis, cancer, cardiovascular disease and obesity. ResumenEl calcio (Ca) es el elemento mineral más abundante en nuestro organismo, ya que forma parte importante del esqueleto y los dientes. Supone alrededor del 2% del peso corporal. Las funciones del calcio son: a) funciones esqueléticas y b) funciones reguladoras. El hueso está formado por una matriz proteica que se mineraliza de forma mayoritaria con calcio (el más abundante), fosfato y magnesio; para ello es imprescindible un correcto aporte dietético de Ca, fósforo y vitamina D. El Ca iónico (Ca 2+ ) es un componente celular imprescindible para mantener y/o realizar las diferentes funciones especializadas de prácticamente todas las células del organismo. Debido a sus importantes funciones, el Ca 2+ debe estar estrechamente regulado, manteniéndose sus concentraciones plasmáticas dentro de unos rangos estrechos. Para ello existe una respuesta precisa frente a la hipocalcemia o la hipercalcemia, en la que intervienen la parathormona, el calcitriol, la calcitonina y la vitamina K. Las ingestas de Ca en la población española son bajas en un porcentaje signifi cativo de la población, especialmente en adultos mayores, sobre todo en las mujeres. La principal fuente de Ca en la dieta son la leche y todos sus derivados. Las verduras de hoja verde, frutas y legumbres pueden tener importancia como fuentes de Ca en un patrón alimentario mediterráneo. La biodisponibilidad del Ca de la dieta depende de factores fi siológicos y dietéticos. Los fi siológicos incluyen la edad, situación fi siológica (gestación y lactación), el estatus de Ca y vitamina D y la enfermedad. Diversos estudios relacionan la ingesta de Ca en ...

“…Diets high in calcium can increase the calcium content in insect 5 -20 times (Finke, 2002). The benefit of calcium intake in the form of edible insects is its better utilization comparing to plants ( Theobald, 2005) Phosphorus level in human body is closely related to calcium in the calcium-phosphate metabolism. The ratio of phosphorus and calcium in human nutrition should be around 1:1.5.…”

Calcium is one of the most problematic substances in human nutrition. Nutrition in the present population is not optimal, because of insufficient consumption of milk and dairy products. Due to the expanding interest of specialists and the general public about entomophagy, as well as increase of the EU interest in this type of food, there is a need to consider the use of edible insects as an alternative source of nutrition. From the perspective of edible insects as a source of calcium, edible insects could be considered as a possible source of calcium for enriching the diet and also as a substitute for people with lactose intolerance and allergies to other categories of foods rich in calcium. Of the six analysed species of edible insect, Bombyx mori had the highest calcium content, almost comparable to semi-skimmed cow's milk. Gryllus assimillis can also be a rich source of calcium as well as other analysed species. The lowest content of calcium was detected in Zophobas morio. Common meat (chicken, beef, pork) has lower calcium content comparing with all analysed species of edible insect (Apis mellifera, Bombyx mori, Gryllus assimillis, Locusta migratoria, Tenebrio molitor, Zophobas morio). Therefore, the selected species of edible insect could serve as an alternative source of calcium for people with lactose intolerance and allergies to soy. Phosphorus level in human body is closely related to calcium in the calcium-phosphate metabolism, therefore phosphorus level was detected in these samples too. Bombyx mori had the highest phosphorus content and the lowest content of phosphorus was measured in Zophobas morio samples.
