Aim: To investigate the proximate compositions, amino acids profile, phenols, flavonoids, fatty acids and minerals in Tasar silkworm pupae and assessment of biological potential of pupae extracts. Methodology: Biochemical composition such as proteins, fat, carbohydrate, chitin, ash, moisture and minerals were analyzed in Tasar silkworm pupae. The amino acid, vitamins, phenolics and flavonoid, fatty acids and free radical scavenging assay were evaluated. Results: The pupae powder contained 11.23% moisture, 60.67% crude protein, 23.83% fat, 3.29% carbohydrate, 5.1% ash and 3.87% chitin on a dry matter basis. Further, the pupae protein contained 19 amino acids, including all of the essential amino acids. Similarly, the pupae powder contained both water and fat soluble vitamins with higher content of tocopherol (13.23 µg 100 gm-1), phenolics compounds majorly ferulic acid (1317.5 µg gm-1) and p-coumaric acid (730.96 µg gm-1), flavonoids catechin (40.771 µg gm-1) and myricetin (12.466 µg gm-1) at higher levels and fatty acid with higher palmitic acid content (6.565 mg g-1). Mineral analysis indicated higher magnesium (208 mg 100 gm-1), calcium (47.79 mg 100gm-1) and iron (37.72 mg 100 gm-1) contents. Further, pupae extract exhibited free radical scavenging potential in a concentration-dependent manner. Interpretation: The results of the study indicate tasar pupae as a renewable and sustainable source for preparation of animal feeds. Key words: Antheraea mylitta, Antioxidants, Tasar pupae

“… Mulianda et al (2020) suggested that defatting of black soldier fly meal, in particular by chemical means, improved its nutritional value. Moreover, Rashmi et al (2022) replaced 10%, 20%, and 30% of SBM by defatted silkworm pupae meal in the diet of crossbred cattle, also with positive results. Indeed, indirect comparisons with the use of full-fat insect meals ( Jayanegara et al, 2017a ; Renna et al, 2022b ) would suggest a greater overall digestibility of defatted silkworm, which may be included up to 30% into rations for cattle without impairments of rumen fermentation patterns and nutrient utilization ( Rashmi et al, 2022 ).…”

Because ruminant diets are usually characterized by low lipid contents, defatting insect meals might represent an advantage for developing innovative and sustainable protein-rich sources for ruminants.…”

“…However, we are aware of only three reports—two in vitro ( Mulianda et al, 2020 ; Phesatcha et al, 2022 ) and one in vivo ( Rashmi et al, 2022 ) – on the inclusion of defatted insect meals in the diet of ruminants. Interestingly, Phesatcha et al (2022) reported that replacing SBM by defatted cricket meal improved ruminal fermentation by enhancing DM degradability and reducing methane production and acetate:propionate ratio.…”

The silkworm Bombyx mori, the second most varied group of insects, is a fascinating insect that belongs to the Lepidoptera species. We aimed to deepen our knowledge about the composition and significance of amino acids (AA) from the sericulture chain to fish. AAs are the most prevalent molecules throughout the growth process of silkworms. We described AAs classification, occurrence, metabolism, and functions. Online datasets revealed that the essential AAs (EAA) level in fish meal and silkworm pupae (SWP) is comparable. SWP have a high content of methionine and lysine, which are the principal limiting AAs in fish diets, indicating that SWP have nutritional potential to be added to fish diets. Additionally, an overview of the data analyzed displays that SWP have a higher protein efficiency ratio than fish meal, the classical protein-rich source (>1.19 times), and compared to soybean meal, the second-most preferred source of protein in aquaculture (>2.08 times), indicating that SWP can be considered effective for animal feeding. In this study, we provide an overview of the current knowledge concerning AAs, paying special emphasis to EAAs and explaining, to some extent, certain mechanisms and functions of these compounds, from mulberry leaves to larvae–pupae and fish diets.
