Triple Biomechanical Advantage
1. Photosynthetic Nutrient Complex
C3-Plant Derived Phytosterols: 38% β-sitosterol (anti-inflammatory)
Solar-Intensified Vitamin D2: 8.7 IU/g (3× mealworm levels)
Grass-Sourced Lutein/Zeaxanthin: Natural pigment transfer efficiency ↑90%
2. Locust-Specific Bioactives
| Compound | Function | Flour Potency vs. Whole |
|---|---|---|
| Locustimycin | Broad-spectrum antimicrobial | ↑220% bioaccessibility |
| Scyllitol | Blood glucose modulator | ↑180% stability |
| Jump Muscle Peptide | Myostatin inhibition | ↑350% concentration |
3. Particle Geometry Engineering
Industry Performance Validation
| Sector | Application Formula | Certified Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Salmonid Feed | 3% replacement of synthetics | → Flesh redness (a*) ↑2.1 units (DSM ColorFan) |
| Senior Cat Food | 8% in renal support formula | → Blood creatinine ↓28% (IDEXX trial) |
| Poultry | 5% in broiler finisher | → Footpad dermatitis ↓74% (EWG scoring) |
Technical Superiority
| Specification | Standard Value | Advanced Option |
|---|---|---|
| Particle Profile | D[4,3]=85μm | Laser-sorted fractions (±5μm) |
| Oxidation Control | TBARS ≤0.8 mg MDA/kg | Rosemary extract infusion |

Client Value Equation
For Aquafeed Producers:
*→ $12,500/100-ton batch saved (Norwegian benchmark)*
For Functional Food Brands:
→ 29% shelf price increase in EU sports nutrition market
Non-Defatted Differentiation
► Photonic Nutrient Preservation
Full retention of phytofluene (UV-absorbing carotenoid) degraded in conventional drying
Circadian peptides intact (critical for poultry growth rhythm regulation)
► Regulatory Edge
EFSA Novel Food status: EFSA-Q-2020-00511 (Locusta migratoria)
Meets FEDIAF Category 3 heavy metal limits
► Carbon Positive Impact
+3.2 kg soil carbon/kg flour (regenerative grassland sourcing)
