“…Many factors influence the development of the insect market: better-adapted and more consistent legal regulations [6,7], increasing production safety and euthanasia methods, and a broader product range for individual consumers. An essential factor is also the greater consumer awareness and improved education about the benefits of consuming insects [8][9][10]. Undoubtedly, one of the most critical premises is operating based on a sustainable development strategy, where the benefits of insect production in every respect surpass conventional livestock farming.…”

Research on the acceptance of consuming insects in one’s diet shows the increasing importance of this issue in the context of a sustainable food chain and ecology. Insects represent a promising food source due to their high nutritional value, efficiency in production, and minimal environmental impact, as well as the growing awareness of ecological issues. Despite these benefits, cultural and psychological barriers hinder the acceptance of consuming insects in Western countries. In this study, an assessment was made of the acceptance level of cream-type soups made from tomatoes and white vegetables with the addition of 20% flour from four insect species: mealworm (T. molitor); house cricket (A. domesticus); buffalo worm (A. diaperinus); and grasshopper (R. differens), compared to a control sample. One hundred and four subjects (55 seniors and 49 young adults) participated in this study. The acceptance level of various soups with insect flour was evaluated, considering different sensory parameters such as appearance, smell, taste, and texture. The research showed that older people have a lower acceptance for dishes containing insects compared to young adults, but the differences in the responses given were not statistically significant (p = 0.05), rejecting the assumption that insect-based products should be mainly targeted at young people. Of all the proposed test samples, the mealworm (T. molitor) was the most acceptable insect species in the tests in both taste versions for both age groups. The average score was 6.63 points on a 10-point scale. The products with the addition of grasshopper (R. differens) were rated the lowest. The acceptance level ranged between 4.23 and 4.38 points. A multiple regression analysis showed that taste and texture had the strongest influence on the overall acceptance of these dishes, and the results obtained were highly correlated with the general opinion of the testers. The increasing acceptance level and growing interest in this type of food can be a positive step towards sustainable and efficient food production.

“…곤충은 예로부터 전 세계에서 식용이나 약용 으로 섭취되어 왔으며 조단백질 함량이 다른 단백질 급원식품에 비 해 높아 대체 단백질 식품으로서 가치가 높으며 지방, 무기질 등의 영양소도 많이 함유되어 있어 영양적 가치가 매우 높다 (van Huis et al, 2013). 식용되는 곤충은 포화지방이 많은 육류에 비해 포화지방 과 탄수화물은 적고 단백질과 근육형성에 도움이 되는 분지아미노산 (branched chain amino acid)과 무기질 함량이 많다 (Han, 2020). 또 한 다른 동물성 단백질 급원에 비해 적은 양의 사료를 필요로 하며 물 소비량이 적고 온실가스와 암모니아 발생량이 낮아 자연친화적 식품 소재이다 (Lee et al, 2019).…”

Purpose: Currently, aging-related sarcopenia is considered a serious problem. However, few studies have addressed the treatment or prevention of sarcopenia using Gryllus bimaculatus . Therefore the present study was carried out to determine whether Gryllus bimaculatus has an ameliorative effect on sarcopenia and to study its applicability as a food for sarcopenia in the elderly or in patients with this condition.Methods: The contents of moisture, crude ash, crude protein, crude fat, carbohydrate and minerals were analyzed. The amino acid and fatty acid compositions were analyzed using an automatic amino acid analyzer and gas chromatography, respectively. Cell viability was measured using a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Myostatin expression was investigated in C2C12 cells using a luciferase reporter assay after treatment with a Gryllus bimaculatus extract.Results: The Gryllus bimaculatus powder (GBP), protein extract of Gryllus bimaculatus (PEGB), Gryllus bimaculatus egg (GBE), and egg protein extract of Gryllus bimaculatus (EPGB) were high in essential amino acids, especially branched chain amino acids, and unsaturated fatty acids, and low in carbohydrates. Moreover, Gryllus bimaculatus appeared to have ameliorative effects on sarcopenia by suppressing the mRNA expression of myostatin in C2C12 cells.Conclusion: It is expected that Gryllus bimaculatus will be positive for the development of food materials or to prevent sarcopenia in the elderly or in patients with this condition.

Purpose: This study investigated the nutritional value of Misutkaru with added Gryllus bimaculatus powder (GBM) and its applicability as a healthy functional food.Methods: Chemical analysis of the moisture, crude fat, protein, and mineral contents was performed in accordance with the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC) guidelines. The amino acid and fatty acid compositions were analyzed using an automatic amino acid analyzer and gas chromatography, respectively. The levels of inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor‑alpha (TNF-α), interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), and interleukin 6 (IL‑6) induced by lipopolysaccharides in RAW 264.7 cells were measured.Results: The general composition per 100 g of GBM was 41.87 g protein, 19.75 g fat, and 28.52 g carbohydrates. The mineral content per 100 g of GBM was 889.66 mg calcium, 1189.73 mg potassium, 220.36 mg magnesium, 207.51 mg sodium, 694.81 mg phosphorus, and 15.50 mg zinc. In particular, valine (21.361 mg/kg), leucine (29.180 mg/kg), and isoleucine (15.562 mg/kg) were abundant in GBM. GBM also effectively downregulated the production of the inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 in RAW 264.7 macrophages.Conclusion: Misutkaru with added Gryllus bimaculatus powder may have potential for application in the development of food materials or foods to prevent muscle loss in elderly individuals and sarcopenia patients, build muscle, and prevent increase in blood lipid concentrations in middle aged people. In particular, as Gryllus bimaculatus is low in fat and carbohydrates, it can be used as a diet material.
