The Yellow Mealworm as a Novel Source of Protein [PDF]

American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, 2009
Problem statement: Yellow mealworms of different sizes (4.8-182.7 mg) were grown in a medium of wheat flour and brewer’s yeast (95:5 by weight) to evaluate their potential as a protein source. Approach: There was an initial adjustment period (3-9 days) observed during which the younger larvae (4.8-61.1 mg) grew slowly while the older ones (80.3-182.7 ...

The use of yellow mealworms in common food products

AIDASCO Reviews, 2023
In many cultures around the world, eating insects is a traditional practice known as entomophagy. In general, it has been discovered that insects are very nutrient-dense and good sources of protein, fat, minerals, vitamins and energy. Given their high nutritional value and minimal impact on the environment, edible insects are increasingly being ...
