“…Studies have also shown that the α‐linolenic acid decreased from 8.7% in the diet to 3.3% in the larvae of Trichoplusiani even though it is known that α‐linolenic is required for wing development 20. Biotin21 and choline22 has also been shown to influence fatty acid synthesis/accumulation. Further the fatty acid profile including α‐linolenic acid of Bombyx mori L. has been shown to vary greatly during the developmental stages of the larvae 23.…”

Eri silkworm: a source of edible oil with a high content of α‐linolenic acid and of significant nutritional value

The study showed that eri silkworm pupae oil is safe and nutritionally equivalent to commonly used vegetable oils. Eri silkworm pupae can be harvested to provide a cost effective alternative edible oil that can be used to nutritional advantage in the food and feed industry. Therefore eri silkworm and its host plants offer an excellent example of multiple product crops and of sustainable agricultural practice with excellent opportunity for economic and nutritional benefits.

“…In most cases, a higher proportion of UFAs were reported at lower temperatures. However, other workers have shown that different rearing temperatures had only a minor effect on the fatty acid composition of the major lipid classes (triacylglycerols and phospholipids) of larvae of the housefly Musca domestica (Bridges & Watts, 1975) and the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum Harris (Ryan et al, 1982).…”

Comparison of fatty acid composition in total lipid of diapause and non‐diapause larvae of Cydia pomonella (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)

Seasonal changes in the fatty acid composition of the total lipid extracted from the whole body of Cydia pomonella L. larvae were determined by gas chromatography. The six most abundant fatty acids in both non‐diapause and diapause larvae of codling moth were oleic (35%–39%), palmitic (23%–33%), linoleic (16%–30%), palmitoleic (5%–10%), stearic (1.5%–3.0%) and linolenic acids (1.0%–2.5%). This represents a typical complement of Lepidopteran fatty acids. The fatty acid composition of total lipid of C. pomonella larvae was related to diapause. In similarity to most other reports, the proportion of unsaturated fatty acids increased in diapause initiation state. The total lipid of diapause larvae contained more linoleic acid (25.8%vs. 16.1%) and less palmitic acid (24.7%vs. 33.4%), than that of non‐diapause larvae. The weight percentage of linoleic acid (C18:2) increased from 16% to 26% from early‐August through early‐September during transition to diapause, while palmitic acid (C16:0) decreased from 33% to 25% at the same time. These changes resulted in an increase in the ratio of unsaturated to saturated fatty acids (UFA/SFA) from 1.72 in non‐diapause larvae to 2.63 in diapause larvae.

“…This suggests that the characteristic feature of dipteran fatty acid profiles is not substantially modified by a major environmental constraint, even to the point of complete absence of essential dietary PUFA. Also, choline deficiency impacts on house fly tissue PLs by reducing the proportion of phosphatidylcholine with respect to phosphatidylethanolamine (Bridges and Watts, 1975). These changes in PL composition were reflected in PL fatty acid compositions: PL 16:1 decreased from 47 to 41 % with increased levels of dietary choline.…”
