please advise if there is any effect to adding black soldier fly powder (BSFL) on broiler meat Sensory?
Yes, as a matter of course, it will improve the sensory analysis, since it's a protein-rich powder that directly affects protein peroxidation, which is linked to the meat's red color.
Poultry Meat is a white meat. So I doubt very much that a high protein diet, will cause broilers to produce red meat.
It's true, but even white poultry meat is affected by protein oxidation, which spoils its qualities. I think this powder will give interesting new results, but it remains to be verified on an experimental scale.
I expect, that protein being an expensive part of all diets, adding a high protein component will always be compensated by removing another one. Excess protein will not improve performance, only increase costs and nitrogen excretion.
Thank you, dear professors, for this beautiful scientific discussion, I was interested in the flavour part because it is one of the essential things for consumers and it is an integral part of the process of educating the consumer to eat these meats, especially in societies that are not accustomed to consuming insects as food.
Yes, it does depending on the level of inclusion. At high levels >50%, it is reported to reduce the juiciness of broiler meat. Please refer to this paper for details. https://doi.org/10.3390/ani11092715
