    The pet market is eager for innovations, the sector grows approximately 15.8% per year and the use of sustainable materials with high nutritional value is increasingly taken into consideration by the adoption of innovations in the dog food industry. This study aims to promote the industry of food production based on insect flour and, to this end, an innovative formulation for dog biscuits was developed, in which the main raw material used was defatted mealworm flour, an alternative and sustainable food for the production of protein supplements. Initial tests were carried out for the processing of the dog biscuit prototype, in order to develop a final formulation that has commercialization potential due to the added nutritional value of the product, development of mandatory nutritional labeling and palatability. Based on this, it is possible to conclude that the promotion of verticalization and innovation in the market for insect-based products is among the main strategies for maintaining future generations with regard to new protein sources of food and environmental conservation.
