New High-Protein Material Using Edible Crickets
～Contributing to solving food and poverty issues through business
ECOLOGGIE, Inc. is an entomophagy company with the vision of "using crickets as a catalyst to solve the world's food problems and poverty issues.
We have established a production base for edible crickets in Cambodia, provide guidance to local farmers on raising crickets, and build a "cricket cooperative model" to purchase all crickets to realize a large and stable supply of high quality crickets.
Edible crickets are attracting attention as a raw material for functional foods for humans, pet foods, livestock, and aquaculture feeds, as they are higher in protein than cattle, pigs, and birds, and contain high amounts of zinc, iron, arginine, and other nutrients.
We are looking for a partner to develop new products using cricket powder, especially in Southeast Asia.
<Features of crickets
Rich protein content
Crickets are a protein-rich material, boasting a protein content of 50-70%, although they require less feed per unit of protein than traditional livestock such as cows, pigs, and chickens, and are raised on a smaller area and have a smaller environmental footprint during production.
Crickets are full of vital nutrients.
Crickets are known to contain high levels of zinc, iron, and the amino acids tyrosine and alanine. There are applications and possibilities for functional foods, supplements, etc. that fully demonstrate the power of these ingredients.
＜Possibilities for Cricket Products
1. Food for people
Functional foods focusing on nutritional aspects, such as supplements
Protein bars (already commercialized in the U.S. and Europe)
Seasonings (crickets contain high levels of glutamate and other umami ingredients, and have a flavor similar to that of seasonings made from shrimp, crab, etc.)
Pet food
High-performance dog/cat food and supplements (Nestlé has announced the launch of an entomophagous pet food in November 2020). 3.
3. Livestock and fish feed
