Journal Of Insects As Food And Feed

Journal Title：Journal Of Insects As Food And Feed

The Journal of Insects as Food and Feed covers edible insects from harvesting in the wild through to industrial scale production. It publishes contributions to understanding the ecology and biology of edible insects and the factors that determine their abundance, the importance of food insects in people’s livelihoods, the value of ethno-entomological knowledge, and the role of technology transfer to assist people to utilise traditional knowledge to improve the value of insect foods in their lives. The journal aims to cover the whole chain of insect collecting or rearing to marketing edible insect products, including the development of sustainable technology, such as automation processes at affordable costs, detection, identification and mitigating of microbial contaminants, development of protocols for quality control, processing methodologies and how they affect digestibility and nutritional composition of insects, and the potential of insects to transform low value organic wastes into high protein products. At the end of the edible insect food or feed chain, marketing issues, consumer acceptance, regulation and legislation pose new research challenges. Food safety and legislation are intimately related. Consumer attitude is strongly dependent on the perceived safety. Microbial safety, toxicity due to chemical contaminants, and allergies are important issues in safety of insects as food and feed. Innovative contributions that address the multitude of aspects relevant for the utilisation of insects in increasing food and feed quality, safety and security are welcomed.

《昆虫作为食物和饲料》杂志涵盖了从野生采集到工业规模生产的食用昆虫。它发表的文章旨在了解食用昆虫的生态学和生物学以及决定其丰度的因素、食用昆虫在人们生计中的重要性、民族昆虫学知识的价值以及技术转让在帮助人们利用传统知识提高昆虫食品在生活中的价值方面的作用。该杂志旨在涵盖从昆虫采集或饲养到食用昆虫产品营销的整个链条，包括可持续技术的开发，例如以可承受的成本实现自动化过程、微生物污染物的检测、识别和缓解、质量控制协议的制定、加工方法及其如何影响昆虫的消化率和营养成分，以及昆虫将低价值有机废物转化为高蛋白产品的潜力。在食用昆虫食品或饲料链的末端，营销问题、消费者接受度、监管和立法带来了新的研究挑战。食品安全和立法密切相关。消费者的态度在很大程度上取决于感知到的安全性。微生物安全性、化学污染物引起的毒性和过敏是昆虫作为食品和饲料安全性的重要问题。欢迎提出创新性贡献，解决与利用昆虫提高食品和饲料质量、安全性和保障相关的众多方面。
