Abstract

Current European, and particularly Mediterranean, agricultural production systems heavily depend on protein imports to cover the nutritional needs of farmed animals and fish. To increase their resilience, the EU is in search of efficient, sustainable, and locally produced alternative proteins. Insects and algae have recently gained much attention due to their ability to bioconvert agro-industrial side-streams into valuable resources. Legumes are known for their high protein content; however, certain species, such as lupins and fava beans, have been overlooked and underused as food and feed. Additionally, microbial fermentation can be used in parallel with insects, algae, and legumes, to efficiently transform them into food and feed. This contribution describes the challenges and chances associated with the utilization of these alternative protein sources for food and feed applications.

替代蛋白质的循环和包容性利用：欧洲和地中海视角

目前欧洲，特别是地中海地区的农业生产系统严重依赖进口蛋白质来满足养殖动物和鱼类的营养需求。为了提高其恢复能力，欧盟正在寻找高效、可持续和本地生产的替代蛋白质。最近，昆虫和藻类因其能够将农工副产品生物转化为宝贵资源而备受关注。豆科植物以蛋白质含量高而著称；然而，羽扇豆和蚕豆等某些物种却被忽视，没有被充分用作食品和饲料。此外，微生物发酵可与昆虫、藻类和豆类同时使用，将它们有效地转化为食品和饲料。这篇论文介绍了将这些替代蛋白质来源用于食品和饲料应用所面临的挑战和机遇。
