Some of them contain large amounts of zinc and iron. It is characterized by high lauric acid (C12:0) content, especially in black soldier fly larvae ( Hermetia illucens). Unsaturated fatty acid concentration varies according to insect species: 60% to 70% in housefly maggot meal, yellow mealworm, and house cricket 19% to 37% in black soldier fly larvae. Lipid contents in insects (up to 36% oil) are also similar to lipid contents of meat meals. In general, proteins contents in insects are 40% to 65%, similar to protein contents of meat meals. Their protein has a higher utilization rate than proteins of other animal by-products, thus attracting attention as a substitute for plant protein source. Insects are rich in proteins, fats, minerals, and vitamins. Article Sharing (Author Self-Archiving) Policy.Nonruminant Nutrition and Feed Processing.
