Locust protein has high biological value and serves as a sustainable protein source with low resource requirements. The protein
content in Dociostaurus Maroccanus and Dericorys Albidula confirms their nutritional value. In a 15–30 day study, adding locust
flour to the diet of rats increased blood protein levels, reduced cholesterol, and stabilized metabolism. Normalization of ALT
enzyme activity confirmed the product's safety for the liver. Therefore, locust protein is an environmentally sustainable and
effective food source.
