About Insects As Sustainable Food
Product Description Insects as Sustainable Food Ingredients: Production, Processing and Food Applications describes how insects can be mass produced and incorporated into our food supply at an industrial and cost-effective scale, providing valuable guidance on how to build the insect-based agriculture and the food and biomaterial industry. Editor Aaron Dossey, a pioneer in the processing of insects for human consumption, brings together a team of international experts who effectively summarize the current state-of-the-art, providing helpful recommendations on which readers can build companies, products, and research programs. Researchers, entrepreneurs, farmers, policymakers, and anyone interested in insect mass production and the industrial use of insects will benefit from the content in this comprehensive reference. The book contains all the information a basic practitioner in the field needs, making this a useful resource for those writing a grant, a research or review article, a press article, or news clip, or for those deciding how to enter the world of insect based food ingredients. Review "Overall this book is a valuable and timely resource for all those interested in the topic of insects as food and feed, entomologists, human and animal nutritionists, food scientists, and entrepreneurs." --Journal of Insects as Food and Feed Review Describes how insects can be mass produced and incorporated into our food supply at an industrial and cost effective scale About the Author Dr. Aaron Dossey holds a Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, undergraduate degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Cum Laude with minors in Mathematics and Chemistry, is a professional self-taught Entomologist, Founding President of All Things Bugs LLC and inventor of GrioproTM cricket powder (www.cricketpowder.com). He has served as a postdoctoral associate at the University of Florida and as a Research Entomologist with the USDA. His research involves developing technologies derived from insects and other invertebrates, with award winning research publications in the fields of entomology and chemistry. Dr. Dossey has research experience in the areas of: Molecular Biology, Food Science, Organic Chemistry, Entomology, Insect rearing and husbandry, insect farming, Natural Products Chemistry, natural product isolation and identification, Chemical Ecology, field biology, setting up a laboratory, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. He has won over $750,000 in major research grants from the Bill and Melinda GatesFoundation, from the USDA developing insect farming and processing technologies as well as Ready to Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) for malnourished children. He also participated in the 2012 UN FAO expert consultation on the potential for insects to contribute to human food security. Since, he has invented and patented technology for production of insect-based food ingredient products, and his company is already the world’s largest in production and selling these products. Dr. Dossey is a frequent speaker at food science, nutrition, sustainability, and insect related conferences and is sought out for his unique expertise on this emerging industry. You can read more about Dr. Dossey's biography at: www.cricketpowder.com/about-us/Dr. Morales’ main expertise is in mass production of arthropods, insect nutritional ecology and the development of rearing methods and mechanization of rearing processes for beneficial arthropods. Between 1992 and 1998, he developed mass propagation technology for the boll weevil parasitoid Catolaccus grandis. This research earned him the USDA-ARS scientist of the year award in 2002. During 1998 and 2004 he developed termite and ant baiting systems. This research earned him the USDA-ARS technology transfer award and the Federal Laboratory Consortium regional excellence in technology transfer award in 2004. Since 2004, he has developed novel rearing methods for predatory mites and other beneficial arthropods. This included ne
