The nutritious food of the future comes from which many people hate?
In 2016, scientists
discovered interesting facts about a particular type of chain found in the
Pacific Ocean region. This species named
Pacific beetle cockroach doesn't lay eggs like normal chain, rather falls in
rare worms that give birth to live babies.
During the research,
the fact that the species feeding their children with milk-like liquid. It is said that the liquid substance reaches
inside the child's stomach and turns into a protein-rich crystal.
Scientists say that
these protein crystals are very good for you. According to preliminary
research, it may contain approximately four times as much protein as cow's milk
and approximately three times as much energy as buffalo milk. Research
indicates that it contains essential fats, sugar and nine essential amino
acids. Also, there is a possibility of
continuous energy available to the body for a long time as it is slow
digestion.
Although scientists have not planned to produce "chain milk" professionally by following chains. Investigation is being underway on the possibility of reproducing these proteins in the lab using biotechnology instead. Researchers expect these nutritional proteins to be produced in a safe environment through yeast or bacteria by studying its genetic structure.
It is anticipated
that this technology will contribute to the solution of the global malnutrition
and food shortage issues if it is able to be safely and successfully
incorporated into professional production in the future. Although this
technology is still in the investigation phase and is unlikely to be available
in the market in the near future.
Therefore, it is no longer considered a "superfood" suitable
for human consumption. This scientific mystery once hidden within a small
insect that many people hate has seen to open doors to new possibilities for
future food security.
