Insect Bioactives: Innovations in Food, Feed, Pharma and Cosmetics serves as a comprehensive resource for researchers and professionals seeking to harness the power of insects as sustainable bioactive sources and beneficial health and wellness solutions. The book identifies the nutritional and chemical composition of insects, presenting them as versatile ingredients for the development of functional foods, nutraceuticals, animal feed and cosmetics. By examining how edible insects can be reared on agri-food by-products and organic waste, this volume illustrates how feeding strategies can influence their nutritional and bioactive profiles. The text also addresses potential allergenic risks and consumer behavior insights, equipping readers with strategies to promote acceptance of insect-based products in the market.

Structured into eight sections, Insect Bioactives: Innovations in Food, Feed, Pharma and Cosmetics covers a wide array of topics essential for understanding insect bioactives. From the foundational overview of insect-based compounds to their applications in functional foods, animal feed, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, each section provides insights into the health benefits and technological innovations associated with insect bioactives. The text also discusses regulatory considerations and features case studies that showcase successful applications in various industries.
