TY - BOOK A2 - Leibniz-Institut für Agrartechnik und Bioökonomie e. V. (ATB), T1 - INSECTA Conference 2017 Book of Abstracts N2 - Preface The INSECTA conference 2017 aims to give an overview of the state-of-the-art of insect technology and the prospects and constraints of the use of insects as food, feed and non-food in Europe and worldwide. This publication contains abstracts of all talks and posters presented at this conference. In 2015, PPM (Pilot Pflanzenöltechnologie Magdeburg e.V. ) initiated the first national INSECTA in Magdeburg held in German language. The 2nd INSECTA was jointly organised by PPM and ATB (Leibniz-Institut für Agrartechnik und Bioökonomie e.V.). To address international experts from academia and industry, English was chosen as conference language. Our aim in 2017 was to continue the success of recent congresses, 1st and 2nd INSECTA held in Magdeburg in September 2015 and 2016, and ensure that INSECTA will be the insect science and technology conference to attend in 2017 for industry and academia alike. ATB and PPM organised the 3rd INSECTA in Berlin, Germany in September 7 and 8, 2017. The theme of the conference is “Insects as Feed, Food and Non-food – A new Bioresource”. Research and science-based innovation play a central role in enabling the related industry to address challenges faced by the sector at a global level. This conference aims to bring together companies and research innovation, helping to discover future perspectives of insect technology. Within a broad scientific program with a number of oral sessions over the two days of the conference five central conference themes have been identified:  Insects Production Systems  Application of Insects as Feed  Utilization of Insects as Food  Evaluation of the use of insects  Non-Food Applications of Insects In total, the conference has attracted 84 presentations from 28 countries. In the conference period of two days, 3 keynote lectures and 50 oral presentations have been held in 3 plenary and 9 parallel sessions, with 34 posters presented in the poster session. We hope that the conference and this publication will provide the platform for bringing together those involved in insect production, processing and consumption worldwide to explore the frontiers of knowledge in the art, science and engineering of all types of processing methods, monitoring technologies, and quality management systems; and the opportunity for participants and the public to learn about the latest developments in the respective fields, to improve communication and to increase cooperation and coordination of research efforts among researchers. Finally, as the Chairmen of the Conference, we would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the contribution from the authors, the reviewers and the editorial team.
