“…Ethanolic extractions from this species have rendered five rynchopeterines (A-E), in addition to other phenolic compounds associated with antioxidant activity, such as protocatechuic acid, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde, and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde, among others (37). Recently, some reports have shown that the extracts obtained from B. rynchopetera have an immunomodulating effect; therefore, it has attracted greater interest in the fields of medicine and nutrition (39).…”

Edible insects are a natural resource with profound interest in the food industry. Not only because of their nutritional content and technical production advantage, but also for the presence of bioactive compounds known as entomochemicals. These include phenolic, alkaloid, and terpenoid compounds, as well as amino acids derivatives, among others. This work is focused on phenolic compounds, which have been the best characterized due to their role in food development and bioactive properties. The major taxonomic orders studied in this regard include Orthoptera, Coleoptera, and Lepidoptera, whose edible specimens have antioxidant effects provided by the phenolic compounds contained therein. The use of these insects in the development of nutritious foods will enhance the number of options available for the human population. However, depth research is still needed to guarantee the aforementioned bioactivity in processed foods and ensure its innocuity, thus minimizing the risk of allergic reactions and allowing the full utilization of edible insect species in the food industry. Phenolic derived from edible insects portray an opportunity to improve high quality food, as an alternative to diversify and complement an adequate and functional diet. Future development foods supplemented with insects must consider the preservation of potential benefits of not only nutrients, also de nutraceuticals.

“…In recent years, the chemical composition and medicinal value of B. rhynchopetera have been increasingly researched and explored. Extracts from this beetle have exhibited immunomodulatory [5] , treatment for vaginal inflammation [6] , antibacterial [7] . Moreover, the defensive secretion of B. rhynchopetera may be an important source of tumor drug development and biomedicine [8] .…”

The Blaps rhynchopetera Fairmaire is a significant medicinal resource in southwestern China. We utilized Nanopore and Hi-C technologies in combination to generate a high-quality, chromosome-level assembly of the B. rhynchopetera genome and described its genetic features. Gene surveys revealed that B. rhynchopetera is a highly heterozygous species. The assembled genome was 379.24 Mb in size, of which 96.03% was assigned to 20 pseudochromosomes. A total of 212.93 Mb of repeat sequences were annotated and 26,824 protein-coding genes were identified. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the divergence of the ancestors of B. rhynchopetera and its closely related species Tenebrio molitor at about 85.6 mya. The co-linearity analysis showed that some chromosomes of B. rhynchopetera may have happen fission events and it has a good synteny relationship with Tribolium castaneum. Furthermore, in GO and KEGG enrichment analyses, the gene families related to detoxification and immunity of B. rhynchopetera facilitated the understanding its environmental adaptations, which will provide research references for the prevention of some pests and the protection of beneficial insects. This high-quality reference genome will also contribute to the conservation of insect species diversity and genetic resources.
