It is shown that edible insects are used in various countries of the world as food additives and raw materials for dietary protein. So, it is known that the inhabitants of Asia and Africa currently eat about 2000 species of edible insects. Insects have a high protein content (40-75 g per 100 g of dry weight), which is perfectly absorbed (77-98%). Considering that by 2050, according to demographic forecasts, up to 9 billion people will live on Earth, the use of insects as biologically active additives in food products is one of the most promising directions in food biotechnology to meet the needs of the growing population of the planet and minimize the problem of hunger of the Earth's population.biologically active additivesedible insectsnutritional valuechitosanproteinentomophagyбиологически активные добавкисъедобные насекомыепищевая ценностьхитозанпротеинэнтомофагия[Ученые рассказали, почему люди должны начать есть насекомых (https://ria.ru/20190715/1556475909.html?utm_campaign=riaelection2018_subscription&utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=15/07/2019)][В еде сидел кузнечик: панцирями саранчи обогатят продукты для россиян (https://iz.ru/897549/iurii-ptitcyn/v-ede-sidel-kuznechik-pantciriami-saranchi-obogatiat-produkty-dlia-rossiian?utm_source=yxnews&utm_medium=desktop)][Скоро это будут есть все.
