Mealworm producer, Entec Nutrition, is the lead partner in the project. The partners are looking to reduce the carbon footprint of the UK feed industry by investigating efficient mealworm production methodologies and the science behind insect nutrition in feed. Such work will involve looking at separation, drying, milling and analysis of mealworm derived protein and oil product characteristics including nutrition, shelf-life and functionality. A team involving mealworm-based producer, Entec Nutrition, the University of Exeter, and Campden BRI secured a grant of £250K (around US$333K) from the Innovate UK Transforming Food Production program for the project. ![]()
