Bioconversion of Deoxynivalenol-Contaminated Feed by Yellow Mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) Larvae in the Production of Biomass Intended for Feed Purposes [PDF]

Toxins
Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a prevalent mycotoxin in feed, raising concerns about its impact on animal health and feed safety. Insects such as yellow mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) may play a role in the biodegradation of DON-contaminated feed.

The Impact of Energy and Protein Levels on Yellow Mealworm Growth and Chemical Composition [PDF]

Insects
To maximize protein production from insects, it is essential to understand their nutritional requirements, production characteristics, and the chemical properties of the resulting feed, along with how these factors depend on the insects’ diets. This research involved the use of nine different insect diets, all based on wheat bran. Corn and soybean meal

Exploring the Potential of Yellow Mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) Oil as a Nutraceutical Ingredient. [PDF]

Foods
During defatted Tenebrio molitor (TM) larvae powder production, oil is obtained as a by-product, mainly intended for feed enrichment or as a biofuel component. In 2021, EFSA authorized TM as the first insect to be a novel food. Thus, the study aimed to assess the composition, including fatty acids (FAs), tocopherols, carotenoids, phenolics, volatiles ...
