3.1. Total lipid content
The total lipid content and lipid fraction of edible insects are
shown in Fig. 1. The lipid content was significantly different in different
species. Cicada, which lives on tree, contained the highest lipid
content (23.98%), while june beetle which lives in soil had the
lowest lipid content (0.34%). This finding is in agreement with previous
study the lipid content was significantly different in different
species. Giant water bug, which lives in freshwater, had the highest
