Dr. Allen Carson Cohen's new edition of Insect Diets: Science and
Technology continues to provide a current, integrated review of the
field of insect diets. It reaffirms and expands upon the belief
that the science of diet development and the technology of diet
application in rearing programs require formal foundations and
guidelines. Cohen argues for a data-driven approach as well as a
focus on humane treatment in insect rearing programs. He also calls
for academics and industries to make a new push toward statistical
process control (SPC) in their approaches to rearing in general,
using his own work with insects as a paradigm. This approach yields
the benefits of careful scientific analysis by addressing issues of
quality and efficiency in academic research and industrial
practices and applications. See What's New in the Second Edition:
This edition expands upon the role of food science in the use of
artificial diets in rearing programs, especially texture analysis
with rheological techniques. It includes an entirely new chapter
focused solely on the subject of food quality in insect diets. The
book also revisits microbial relationships to insect diets as a
powerful influence on their feeding processes and emphasizes a new,
better understanding and utilization of the relationship between
insects and microbes in artificial diets. Cohen also expands his
vision of the future of insect rearing, including the use of
insects themselves as a potential food source for a rapidly
expanding global human population. To that end, this book gives you
guidelines to develop, use, and evaluate artificial diets in order
to improve their cost and scientific efficiency in the rearing of
insects, because as the author urges, it is important to "know your
insect." This understanding will serve the multifaceted goals of
using insect rearing for research and teaching, pest management
strategies and biocontrol agents, as food for other organisms, and
for many other purposes.
