“…The protein content found in this work for T. molitor was 54.86 ± 1.70% which fits within the range reported in previous studies [31][32][33]; while the protein found for U. dermestoides in this work is slightly lower than the 48.31% reported by Zhou and Chen [34]. In contrast with the protein content found in other insects' orders, it fits within the range of grasshoppers/locust 40-74.28%, Lepidoptera (wax moth and butterflies) 14 -68%, Hemiptera 42-74%, Orthoptera (crickets) 55.65-75% and Diptera (common housefly) 55-70% [35][36][37][38]. Our data allows us to support what is suggested in previous studies such as the ones published by Payne CLR et al and Halloran et al [29,30].…”

In the case of Tenebrionidae family insects, studies focus on larval stage, leaving a lack of information regarding other stages. Therefore, this study was performed in order to understand the differences between the nutritional composition and the bioactivity of two species of this family in their adult stage, fed with a specific diet. Adult beetles of both species were defatted, lyophilized and protein extracted with buffer. Proximal and phytochemical analysis of the extracts of each insect were performed, along with protein extract and hydrolysis analysis by Tris-Tricine and Tris Glycine SDS PAGE. This analysis showed that T. molitor contained more protein and fat than U. dermestoides but contained less crude fiber. The protein extraction was made with PBS, where 130 and 45 kDa bands showed predominant for U. dermestoides, and less protein was present for T. molitor. Antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the enzymatic protein hydrolysates and protein crude extracts were determined. Presence of protein associated with the antioxidant activity were found in both insects. Nonetheless U. dermestoides had a higher antioxidant activity with the protein extract in contrast with the higher antioxidant activity shown by U. dermestoides once the extracts were digested. After proteolysis, protein extracts showed an increasing antioxidant activity, plus, the ability to inhibit microbial growth of Proteus, Shigella and Bacillus. Insect protein hydrolysates with protease open the possibility for the use of these beetles as new sources of encrypted peptides for microbiological control once characterized.

“…En el presente estudio, las larvas de T. molitor resultaron con una composición con altos niveles de lípidos, valor superior comparándolo con el 32 % reportado por Paul et al, (2017). Niveles bajos de proteínas y valores altos de carbohidratos fueron observados bajo las condiciones de determinación, los cuales difieren a lo reportado en literatura (Kim et al, 2017). Un dato importante es que la composición de la biomasa de T. molitor depende mayormente por el tipo de dieta suministrada, por lo que esta puede ser la principal variación en los datos de la composición química proximal, así como a las condiciones medioambientales del crecimiento del insecto.…”

Biomasa de Tenebrio molitor como inductor de lipasas y proteasas producidas por Paecilomyces fumosoroseus

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Los hongos entomopatógenos son microorganismos comúnmente usados en prácticas de biocontrol de nematodos, insectos, entre otros. El principal mecanismo de acción de estos hongos es el parasitismo mediado por enzimas líticas, las cuales dependen de la interacción directa del microorganismo con sustratos inductores. En el presente estudio se evaluó la influencia de 8 generaciones continuas del hongo Paecilomyces fumosoroseus y el efecto de la adición de biomasa de Tenebrio molitor en el medio de cultivo para la producción de enzimas proteasas y lipasas. La cepa de P. fumosoroseus demostró ser un importante productor de proteasas y lipasas bajo las condiciones evaluadas, lo que le confiere alto potencial para actuar como agente activo en productos bioinsecticidas. La producción de lipasas mantuvo niveles homogéneos a través de las generaciones de P. fumosoroseus evaluadas, sin embargo la producción de proteasas si fue influenciada, con un incremento hasta la cuarta generación. Los valores de mayor actividad fueron de 800 y 200 U/L para lipasa y proteasa, respectivamente.

This objectives of this study were to assess the pH and titratable acid (TA) and conduct sensory evaluation of the high-protein yogurt supplemented with Oxya chinensis sinuosa (grasshopper). High-protein yogurt containing Oxya chinensis sinuosa powder displayed TA of 0.93% to 1.1%, and a pH of 4.3 or 4.4. There were no significant differences between the control and treated groups in pH and TA. Organoleptic evaluations revealed that, except for color and texture, taste, flavor, and overall acceptability showed decreased trends in proportion to the amount of Oxya chinensis sinuosa powder. Further studies will explore the potential of Oxya chinensis sinuosa powder as a protein with health benefits for humans.
