Synopsis:

Research and publications on insects for food and feed are rapidly increasing. This field is becoming increasingly interconnected with other disciplines such as genetics, microbiology, nutrition, and environmental science. However, rapid growth and rising complexity also bring challenges, including the use of diverse methodologies, difficulties in comparing results, and the inefficient use of time and financial resources. Drawing on the experience of more than one hundred researchers, the BugBook aims to provide clear guidance, practical tools, experimental procedures, and reporting standards for anyone interested in studying insects as food and feed. If you seek to conduct efficient, high-quality, and reproducible research in this field, this book is designed for you.
