Abstract(s)
A FAO considera que os insetos como alimento humano e animal, devem ser
considerados como uma fonte alimentar alternativa e pertinente, devido a fortes pressões
ambientais, rápido crescimento populacional, insegurança alimentar, e procura crescente de
proteína animal, atualmente existente.
Nos países ocidentais a aceitação de insetos edíveis é considerada muito baixa, devido a
fatores como neofobia, nojo, e ser considerado como algo invulgar.
O principal objetivo deste estudo foi a avaliação dos determinantes da aceitação do
consumo de pão, suplementado com proteína de inseto. Foi realizado um inquérito online a
consumidores regulares de pão, e concluiu-se que a neofobia alimentar apresenta uma forte
correlação com a escala de nojo, sendo a neofobia a mais indicativa e que influencia mais
os resultados obtidos. Através da aplicação de um modelo de regressão logística binária às
respostas obtidas, concluiu-se que que o melhor preditor de aceitação do consumo de pão
com incorporação de proteína de insetos, é a própria disponibilidade para consumir insetos.
Outro preditor é o género, pois o sexo masculino apresenta uma aceitação superior de
experimentação, assim como quem consome variedades especiais de pão.
FAO considers that insects as human and animal food should be considered as and alternative and relevant food source due to strong environmental pressures, fast population growth, food insecurity and growing demand for animal demand, that currently exists. In Western countries acceptance of edible insects is considered very low, due to factors like neophobia, disgust and being considered very unsual. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the determinants of bread consumption acceptance supplemented with insect protein. An online survey was conducted on regular consumers of bread, and it was concluded that food neophobia has a strong correlation with the disgust scale, and neophobia is the most indicative and influencing the results obtained. Through the application of a binary logistic regression model to the responses obtained, it was concluded that the best predictor of acceptance of bread with incorporation of protein insects, is the availability to consume insects. Another predictor is gender, because males presents a superior acceptance of experimentation, as well who consumes special varieties of bread.
