The insect industry is rapidly emerging these last years. If the main product of this industry is the protein meal, used mainly for feed and food applications, only a few work has been done on the main co-product of this industry, the insects' oils. However, these oils deserve all our interest, as they present very interesting characteristics and particularity depending on the origin and feed source of the producing insect. In this short review, we are discussing different aspects of these products biosynthesis, composition and potential applications.
Résumé
L'industrie des insectes se développe rapidement ces dernières années. Si le produit principal de cette industrie reste la farine protéique, essentiellement utilisée à des fins de nutrition humaine et animale, relativement peu de travaux concernent le coproduit principal de cette industrie, à savoir les huiles. Cependant ces huiles méritent toute notre attention tant leurs propriétés et caractéristiques sont intéressantes et diverses selon l'origine et le régime alimentaire de l'insecte dont elles sont issues. Dans ce court article nous nous sommes attelés à présenter les différents aspects de la biosynthèse, composition et potentielles utilisations de ces produits.
