Abstract

A method for obtaining products for the food industry and/or feed industry from insects at the larval stage involves: a) comminuting the insects to form an insect pulp; b) shifting the pH-value of the insect pulp to an acid range by adding an acid and malaxing the insect pulp for a period of at least 45 minutes; and c) fractioning the insect pulp using centrifugal treatment into at least two fractions i) a solid fraction, ii) a fatty phase; and a fat-reduced solid phase.
