The world population is growing rapidly, and with it, the need for food and high-quality protein. Livestock breeding, which is the main source of high-quality protein globally, has a significant environmental impact. Insects may represent a good alternative to animal protein. They contain a large proportion of quality protein and other nutrients while having low maintenance costs and environmental impact. The use of insects in food can pose potential risks. In order to reduce these risks and amplify positive aspects, it is important to choose the right kind of processing. Biotechnological approaches may be a promising option for insect biomass processing.
