Special Issue: Research on new raw materials and functions of animal-derived foods

An increasing number of studies now focus on the human nutrition and health benefits we can derive from animal proteins, peptides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides and amino acids. In China, the broader definition of “food” includes traditional Chinese medicine, along with these newly-discovered animal raw materials. This special issue will focus on topics that include, but are not limited to, Andrias davidianus, silkworm (Bombyx mori L.), snail and edible insects, and honeybee products.
