PROTEIN QUALITY OF COMMONLY CONSUMED EDIBLE INSECTS IN ZIMBABWE
Consumption of edible insects as alternative animal protein-source is a potential long-term solution to curb protein deficiency in resource-limited communities where diets lacking in protein are predominant.

| description | Consumption of edible insects as alternative animal protein-source is a
potential long-term solution to curb protein deficiency in
resource-limited communities where diets lacking in protein are
predominant. Entomophagy has been expressed in both developed and
developing countries, and previous studies have proven that edible
insects are high in protein. However, there is paucity of information
on protein quality of edible insects to adequately guide populations on
their utilization as good alternative protein sources. The aim of this
study was to evaluate protein quality of three edible insects commonly
consumed in most regions of Zimbabwe, namely Imbrasia belina (mopane
worms), Locusta migratoria (locust) and Encosternum delegorguei
(stinkbug). Kjeldahl method was used to evaluate crude protein of
edible insects and a 20-day mice-feeding trial was conducted to
evaluate protein efficiency ratio and protein digestibility in
comparison to a control protein (casein). Crude protein was higher in
Locusta migratoria (71.2%) compared to Imbrasia belina (57.7%) and
Encosternum delegorguei (31.3%). Protein efficiency ratio was lower in
insect samples L. migratoria (2.3), I Belina (1.96), E. delegorguei
(2.0) compared to control casein (2.5). There was a significant
difference (p0.05) in protein digestibility between the three insect protein
sources and casein. The results showed high protein quality of three
edible insects commonly consumed in Zimbabwe comparable to casein, a
high quality animal protein. High protein digestibility of edible
insects indicated ease in absorption and improved utilisation in the
body. The lower PER values for I. Belina and E. delegorguei could
possibly indicate that these edible insects may be limiting in the
amino acids that support body tissue building and growth. Edible
insects are a good source of quality protein that could meet protein
requirements in resource-limited populations to curb protein
deficiency. There is a strong need to further promote edible insects as
a good alternative animal protein source. |
