The biscuit produced has demonstrated a high protein content as expected. The use of edible insect as a proteinsourceby substituting it in snacks has also been established by this study as these will serve as an alternative to the high cost of animal protein and as a dietary supplement. The proximate composition such as Dry matter, Carbohydrate, Protein, Fat and Fibre result ranges from 98.3 to 98.7%, 79.2 to 71.8%, 7.64 to 10.0%, 7.79 to 9.15%, 4.07 to 7.55% respectively. The water content of the of the biscuit ranges from 0.065 to 0.129%. Gluten free insect biscuits was produced from composite flour of sorghum and cirina forda species of caterpillar with the aim of encouraging the consumption of insect and tackling the challenge of Protein Energy Malnutrition ravaging the world with this insect which contain over 50% protein and other nutrients needed by the body.43eninsectcirina forda larvabiscuitsorghumDEENK Témalista::Mezőgazdaságtudomány
