Valorisation of rearing residue peach fruit flies (PFF) Bactrocera zonata into high-value products by yellow mealworm (YMW) Tenebrio molitor could consider a sustainable strategy for developing the PFF management using Sterile Insect Technique (SIT). Different ratios (PF) in substantial amounts hen feed (HF) were used YMW larvae. The quality control and performance parameters assessed. It was noticed that feeding trials resulted from promising body mass as compared to treatment (hen feed). While no progeny adult produced when fed on PF 1 diet (100 % residue). Larval pupal duration insignificantly prolonged reared PF3 PF4 diets contained 50 25 residue, respectively HF (control). All experimental exhibited high rates production; however, yields desirable during larval survival. High percentages food consumed assumed be assimilated larvae PF4. There significant differences recorded live dry weight gain HF. Our findings suggest effective dietary significantly diminish SIT cost environmental savings.

Evaluation of Effective Energy Values of Six Protein Ingredients Fed to Beagles and Predictive Energy Equations for Protein Feedstuff

Animals, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(11), P. 1599 - 1599

Published: May 29, 2024

This study evaluated the nutrition composition, nutrient digestibility, and energy value of six protein ingredients used in pet food by difference method beagles within a 7 × 6 incomplete Latin square design. The results showed that apparent total tract digestibility gross (GE) organic matter (OM) fed fish meal (FM) corn gluten (CGM) diets was higher than for those meat bone (MBM), soybean (SBM), mealworm (MM), yeast extract (YE) (p < 0.05). digestible (DE), metabolizable (ME), net (NE) MM diet were greater other diets, MBM lowest ME positively correlated with negatively ash content. NE crude content resulted predictive equations more accurate NRC’s equation when ingredient 30% DM. In conclusion, similar to extract. All feedstuffs had slight differences measured values.

Nutritional properties of pilot-scale manufactured single-cell proteins from a Corynebacterium glutamicum

CyTA - Journal of Food, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 22(1)

Published: Oct. 9, 2024

Single-cell proteins (SCPs) derived from microorganisms are sustainable and standard-manufacturable protein sources. Corynebacterium glutamicum is one of the prospective bacteria for SCP production. To evaluate nutritional properties C. glutamicum-SCP, pilot-scale fermentation (3,000 L) was performed under standard conditions, resulting in 23 kg dry weight. This glutamicum-SCP had high low-fat contents (22.4% carbohydrates, 60.9% crude protein, 3.3% fat). Its fatty acid profile comprised 0.25% saturated acids, 0.16% unsaturated no trans cholesterol. total iron content 9.78 mg/100 g, which approximately 14.8% heme (1.45 g). The Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Score (DIAAS) 102, higher than that soy isolate (90), pea concentrate (82), house cricket (89), or yellow mealworm (64). In conclusion, can be a promising alternative source to replace red meat.

Insect farming: a bioeconomy-based opportunity to revalorize plastic wastes

Environmental Science and Ecotechnology, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 23, P. 100521 - 100521

Published: Dec. 24, 2024

Managing plastic waste is one of the greatest challenges humanity faces in coming years. Current strategies-landfilling, incineration, and recycling-remain insufficient or pose significant environmental concerns, failing to address growing volume residues discharged into environment. Recently, increasing attention has focused on potential certain insect larvae species chew, consume, partially biodegrade synthetic polymers such as polystyrene polyethylene, offering novel biotechnological opportunities for management. However, insect-assisted depolymerization incomplete, leaving amounts microplastics frass (or manure), limiting its use a soil amendment. In this perspective, we propose two-step bioconversion system overcome these limitations, using insects sustainably manage while revalorizing by-products (frass). The first step involves pyrolyzing microplastic-containing from mealworms (Tenebrio molitor larvae) fed plastic-rich diets produce biochar with enhanced adsorptive properties. second stage integrates entomocomposting organic residues, food waste, black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) nutrient-rich substrates enriched carbon nitrogen. This integrated offers framework large-scale industrial applications, contributing bioeconomy by addressing both residue We critically examine advantages limitations proposed based current literature technology entomocomposting. Key research are identified, particularly concerning physiological toxicological processes involved, guide future efforts aimed at ensuring scalability sustainability innovative approach.

Foods enriched with insects can potentially prevent several health disorders, including cardiovascular diseases, by reducing inflammation and improving antioxidant status. In this study, Tenebrio molitor Gryllus assimilis were selected to determine the effect on development of atherosclerosis in ApoE/LDLR−/− mice. Animals fed AIN-93G-based diets (control) 10% (TM) (GA) for 8 weeks. The nutritional value as well activity determined. lipid profile, liver enzyme activity, fatty acid composition adipose tissue model mice evaluated. Quantitative analysis atherosclerotic lesions entire aorta was performed using en face method, aortic roots, cross-section method used. status GA cricket significantly higher compared TM larvae. results showed that area (en method) not different between groups.
