Description
| - Edible insects appear to be very promising part of the diet for the future of food either in third world countries or in developed countries. Unlike countries where insects provide and in long term will provide mainly basic nutrients (proteins, fats, saccharides) a country with plenty of food sources will use insects rather as a source of complementary nutritional substances. One of the components, which content in food is monitored in developed countries is cholesterol. Therefore, we started analysing of the cholesterol in selected insect species available and suitable to eat in Central Europe after Bednářová et al. [1]. The results of previous measurements show that, as in commonly consumed foods, there are ignificant differences in cholesterol content among insect species. Therefore for the future use of insects in the food sector, suitable species will have to be chosen according to specific nutritional needs of the consumer. This is also necessary, as according to previously published scientific studies [2], the human body needs cholesterol and at the same time its level in the body can be regulated by the intake of other nutritional substances in food. For example, the consumption of dietary fibre can reduce cholesterol levels by 10 % [3]. In our analysis, the interesting species, as far as the cholesterol content is concerned, seems to be cricket Gryllus assimillis, whose cholesterol content is comparable to egg yolk - 310mg.100g-1. The first results show that this area deserves more attention, and that insect as a food alternative should not be accepted uncritically.
