pharmaceuticals. The use of insect protein has found its application in
pharmaceutical from ancient times. For instance, red ants are used for the
treatment of joint pain.
Along with the increasing demand for insect protein
in several applications, the demand for its by-products is increasing. Insect
growers are feeding organic feed to insects to obtain organic product and
by-products, such as insect protein and organic insect waste & oil,
respectively. These organic end and by-products are used to cater to the rising
demand for organic products in various application industries, including food
& beverages, agriculture, feed, personal care, nutraceuticals, and
pharmaceuticals. Thus, the growing demand for insect protein, insect waste, and
