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 کاملNutrient-specific food selection buffers the effect of nutritional imbalance in the mealworm beetle, Tenebrio molitor (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae)
Ingesting nutritionally imbalanced food can cause a significant reduction in fitness in insects. Insects can avoid the negative consequences of nutritional imbalances by selectively foraging for nutritionally complementary foods. We investigated the ability of the omnivorous beetle, Tenebrio molitor (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), to redress nutritional imbalances by selecting complementary foods....
متن کاملObservation of two-dimensional yttrium oxide nanoparticles in mealworm beetles (Tenebrio molitor).
Nanomaterials are being used in medicine, manufacturing and consumer products, but their effects on organisms and the environment are not well understood because of the difficulty in detecting them. Here dual-energy X-ray K-edge subtraction was used to track two-dimensional yttrium oxide nanoparticles (which can be found in such household objects as color televisions) in adult mealworms (Tenebr...
متن کاملReducing sugar-producing bacteria from guts of Tenebrio molitor Linnaeus (yellow mealworm) for lignocellulosic waste minimization.
The guts of Tenebrio Molitor Linnaeus (yellow mealworm) were used as inocula to isolate reducing sugar-producing bacteria during bioconversion of lignocellulose to reducing sugars in this study. Three carbon sources, i.e., carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), filter paper (FP), and lignocellulosic waste (LIG), were specifically selected; and two types of culturing media (M1 and M2) were used. After 6...
متن کاملThe Humidity Behaviour of the Mealworm Beetle, Tenebrio Molitor L. Iii. the Mechanism of the Reaction
IT has previously been shown that, under suitable experimental conditions, Tenebrio molttor reacts clearly to humidity (Pielou & Gunn, 1940) and that the humidity receptors are probably the pit-peg organs and peg organs on the antennae (Pielou, 1940). The present work is an attempt to analyse the mechanism of this reaction both qualitatively and quantitatively, in terms of elementary animal beh...
