Absorption of iron from edible house crickets : a randomized crossover stable-isotope study in humans
BACKGROUND: Edible insects are a novel source of animal protein. Moreover, edible insects contain iron concentrations similar to meat, potentially making them a valuable iron source for human consumers. Yet, it is unknown to what extent iron from insects is absorbed in humans. OBJECTIVES: In this exploratory study, we assessed fractional iron absorption from house crickets (Acheta domesticus) consumed with refined (low-phytate, noninhibiting) or nonrefined (high-phytate, inhibiting) meals. METHODS: Intrinsically [57Fe]-labeled and control crickets were reared. Six iron-balanced experimental me... Mehr ...
