Sažetak

Nowadays, the challenge of finding food capable of meeting the needs of the population in terms of availability, nutritional value and sustainability is not only a necessity, but also an aspiration for a healthier lifestyle. The replacement of vertebrate animal products with new protein sources in human nutrition is a topic of increasing interest. Many studies have shown that insects, as a possible food source, have great potential to be called the "food of the future" because they are rich in high-quality proteins, fiber and fatty acids, mineral elements, vitamins.
