“…The powder of male silkworm ( B. mori ) pupae contained less protein than that of female pupae (reviewed by Mahesh et al [ 72 ]), but there was no difference in the kinds of amino acid present between the two sexes [ 73 , 74 ]. Research by Cai et al [ 75 ] and Kiuchi et al [ 76 ] on male and female silkworm pupae has confirmed the presence of sex-related differences, adding information to the earlier reported differences in the amounts and compositions of the lipids in male and female pupae [ 77 ].…”

Edible insects have been considered as either nutritious food itemsper se, or as wholesome ingredients to various dishes and components of traditional subsistence. Protein, fat, mineral and vitamin contents in insects generally satisfy the requirements of healthy food, although there is considerable variation associated with insect species, collection site, processing method, insect life stage, rearing technology and insect feed. A comparison of available data (based on dry weight) showed that processing can improve the nutrient content, taste, flavour, appearance and palatability of insects, but that there are additional factors, which can impact the content and composition of insect species that have been recommended for consumption by humans. This review focuses on factors that have received little attention in connection with the task to improve acceptability or choice of edible insects and suggests ways to guarantee food security in countries where deficiencies in protein and minerals are an acute and perpetual problem. This review is meant to assist the food industry to select the most suitable species as well as processing methods for insect-based food products.

“…Silkworms are considered a delicacy in certain parts of the world such as in China, Japan, Thailand, and India [ 34 , 51 ]. Silkworm pupae meal has been found suitable as a livestock feed for monogastric species (poultry, pigs and fish), and also for ruminants [ 52 ], due to its high protein content. Silkworms are the caterpillars of moth species bred for silk [ 53 , 54 ].…”

Edible insects can be produced sustainably, with less environmental impact than other forms of livestock. Globally, over 2000 edible insect species have been reported and are regarded as a great source of nutrition, both as food and feed. Over the years, rural people have used indigenous knowledge to either store or process such insects. However, such valuable knowledge, if not properly recorded and documented, can easily be lost. Thus, there is a need to strike a balance between the use of indigenous and scientific knowledge to produce and process these delicacies. In addition, such indigenous knowledge is vital for preserving biodiversity, since insects are good indicators of climate change as it influences their development, reproduction, and survival. Therefore, successful and sustainable solutions may lie in bringing back indigenous knowledge systems.

“…Sericulture has become an important cottage industry in countries such as Brazil, China, France, India, Italy, Japan, Korea, and Russia.Spent silkworm pupae,the waste material from silkworm industry, is often discarded in the open environment or used as fertilizer. Due to its high protein content, silkworm pupae meal has been found suitable as a livestock feed, notably for monogastric species and also for ruminants [11]. Studies with Indian major carps and common carp have shown that it…”

Digestibility of dry matter and nutrients by Catla catla was investigated from three feed ingredients-Azolla, soybean and silkworm pupa incorporated at levels ranging from 0-40% incorporated into a diet consisting equal amounts of rice bran and groundnut oil cake. Total dry matter digestibility (DMD) and protein digestibility of Azolla diets were comparable with the control diet up to 20% incorporation (p>0.05), reducing there after (p<0.05). On the other hand, fat digestibility increased with the level of Azolla incorporation (p<0.05). The digestibility of nitrogen-free extract (NFE) was higher (p<0.05) at 10 and 20% levels. DMD and protein digestibility of soybean diets were higher (p<0.05) at 40% incorporation, and that of fat and NFE were higher (p<0.05) at both 30 and 40% levels. Protein digestibility of silkworm pupa diets showed no difference (p>0.05) with that of the control, while fat and NFE digestibility were higher above 20 and 30% pupa incorporation, respectively. The results of this study would be useful in formulating diets for catla using the ingredients tested.
