The topics of how to “process” insects destined for human consumption will be covered in detail with topics such as insect flour preparation, protein extraction methods/techniques, application of commonly used processing methods (heat processing, low-temperature processing, dehydration, etc.).

Finally, the book with also have a section on current regulations available for insects destined for human consumption.
