SAĞLIĞIN GELİŞTİRİLMESİ VE SÜRDÜRÜLEBİLİR BESLENME İÇİN ALTERNATİF BİR KAYNAK: YENİLEBİLİR BÖCEKLER

Abstract

Dünya genelinde nüfusun artması beslenme sorunlarını da beraberinde getirmektedir. Yaklaşık olarak her 9 kişiden 1’i açlık çekmektedir. Yenilebilir böcekler yüksek biyokütle ve çeşitliliğe sahiptir. Yüksek kalitede protein, doymamış yağlar, vitaminler, mineraller ve biyoaktif maddeler açısından zengindir. Yetiştirilmeleri için diğer hayvansal kaynaklara göre daha az yem, su ve alan gerekmektedir. İnsan ve hayvanların oluşturduğu biyolojik atıklar da böcek yetiştirmek için kullanılabilmektedir. Böceklerden elde edilen biyoaktif maddeler sağlığın geliştirilmesi ve hastalıkların önlenmesinde kullanılabilmektedir. Bu nedenle birçok firma tarafından böcek ürünleri üretilmekte ve 55 milyon dolarlık bir pazar bulunmaktadır. Yenilebilir böcekler faydaları yanında mikrobiyolojik, parazitolojik ve alerjik riskler de taşımaktadır. Bu nedenle üretimleri sırasında belli kurallara dikkat edilmesi gerekmektedir. Bu standartların belirlenmesi için bilimsel çalışmaların arttırılması, mevzuatların geliştirilmesi ve uluslararası politikaların oluşturulması gerekmektedir.

AN ALTERNATIVE SOURCE FOR IMPROVEMENT OF HEALTH AND SUSTAINABLE NUTRITION: EDIBLE INSECTS

Abstract

The increase in the population throughout the world brings along nutritional problems. Approximately 1 in 9 people are starving. Edible insects have high biomass and variety. It is rich in high quality protein, unsaturated fats, vitamins, minerals and bioactive substances. Less feed, water and area is required for their cultivation compared to other animal sources. Biological waste generated by humans and animals can also be used to grow insects. Bioactive substances obtained from insects can be used in health promotion and disease prevention. For this reason, insect products are produced by many companies and there is a 55 million dollar market. Edible insects carry microbiological, parasitological and allergic risks in addition to their benefits. Therefore, certain rules must be observed during their production. Scientific studies should be increased, legislation should be developed and international policies should be established to determine these standards.
