Abstract(s)
A União Europeia tem vindo a desenvolver diversas iniciativas no âmbito dos novos alimentos para alimentação humana. As regulamentações previamente existentes não abrangiam insetos inteiros e suas partes e por isso a União Europeia procedeu à alteração de alguns regulamentos, e assim nasce o Regulamento (UE) 2015/2283 de forma a abranger o maior número de novos alimentos e a possibilidade de aparecimento de novos alimentos de forma a agregar valor à cadeia alimentar e ao desenvolvimento científico. Nesse sentido, esta dissertação é uma revisão da informação atualmente existente no que diz respeito aos insetos como alimento, tomando como exemplo a larva desidratada da espécie Tenebrio molitor. Por outro lado, é um auxílio a novos operadores que queiram submeter dossiers de segurança alimentar de alimentos à base de insetos.
The European Union has been developing several initiatives in the field of novel foods for human food. The previously existing regulations did not cover whole insects and their parts and therefore the European Union has changed some regulations, and thus born the Regulation (EU) 2015/2283 to cover the largest number of novel foods and the possibility of new foods being introduced to add value to the food chain and scientific development. In this sense, this dissertation is a review of the information currently existing regarding insects as food, taking as an example the dried yellow mealworm (Tenebrio molitor larva). On the other hand, it could help applicants who wish to submit food safety dossiers for insect-based foods.
