Nutritional Value of Mealworm, Tenebrio molitor as Food Source
Nutrition value of mealworm, Tenebrio molitor was analyzed due to increasing demand of usage as a protein source for domestic animals and even further for human consumption. The purpose of the present work was to determine the chemical compostion of the Tenebrio molitor larvae, adult that were maintained under standard condition for further usage of mass-rearing system and its exuvium, and excr...
متن کاملPhospholipids of Tenebrio molitor larvae
Phospholipids of Tenebrio molitor larvae were separated on columns of DEAE -cellulose and silicic acidHyflo Super Cel. The major phosphatide components were identified by various analytical procedures. Phosphatidyl choline was demonstrated to be the predominant phospholipid with a high percentage of phosphatidyl ethanolamine. A small amount of inositolcontaining phosphatides were present. Phosp...
متن کاملDiversity of digestive proteinases in Tenebrio molitor (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) larvae.
The spectrum of Tenebrio molitor larval digestive proteinases was studied in the context of the spatial organization of protein digestion in the midgut. The pH of midgut contents increased from 5.2-5.6 to 7.8-8.2 from the anterior to the posterior. This pH gradient was reflected in the pH optima of the total proteolytic activity, 5.2 in the anterior and 9.0 in the posterior midgut. When measure...
متن کاملThe visual mechanisms of Tenebrio molitor: changes in the electroretinogram as function of the stimulus duration.
The yellow mealworm beetle Tenebrio molitor represents a group of insects living almost constantly under conditions of darkness. Some evolutionary changes presumably occurred in the visual mechanism of this species during or after the adoption of its specific habitat. Various aspects of its visual mechanism have already been investigated (Yinon, I969, I97oa; Yinon and Auerbach, I969). In the pr...
متن کاملLife History Differences Between Two Species of Gregarina in Tenebrio molitor Larva
The life histories of 2 species of Gregarina, protozoans parasitizing Tenebrio molitor, were compared. Gregarina cuneata occurred primarily in larger larvae, whereas Gregarina steini was distributed evenly throughout all sizes of larvae. As larval size increased, an increase in prevalence of G. cuneata preceded a more substantial increase in parasite relative density. Sample variance/relative d...
