食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊   據外媒報道，近日韓國政府批準黃粉蟲(chóng)（mealw orms）用作食品配料。

    韓國食品藥品安全部稱(chēng)，只要加工廠(chǎng)家完成清潔、滅菌、冷凍干燥等一系列工藝操作，就可以將黃粉蟲(chóng)用作食品配料。

    黃粉蟲(chóng)又叫面包蟲(chóng)，原產(chǎn)北美洲，50 年代從蘇聯(lián)引進(jìn)我國飼養，黃粉蟲(chóng)含80%的蛋白質(zhì)和高含量ω-3的脂肪。粉末狀的黃粉蟲(chóng)可用于面包、餅干、面條等。

    部分原文報道如下：

    South Korea's Ministry of Food and Drug Safety have given a green light to the use of mealworms as a food ingredient.

    In a ruling last week, the ministry said the edible insect-Tenebrio molitor Linne-could be used for the local market once it has completed various manufacturing processes, including cleansing, sterilisation and freeze-drying.

    Mealw orms's bodies consist of 80% of protein and fat w ith a high quantity of omega-3, making them a high-value food resource.
