Abstract

Mineral deficiencies result in a variety of health issues in humans, and alternative sources of minerals are greatly needed to address this problem. Clanis bilineata tsingtauica larvae are nutrient-rich and are prepared using several different cooking methods in China. In this study, the concentrations of ten different mineral elements were determined in the larvae of C. bilineata tsingtauica. The guts of larvae that had wriggled in soil contained abundant macro- and micronutrients at 4,800 and 271.68 mg/kg, respectively. Larvae that wriggled in soil contained high levels of phytic acid (1707.07 μg/g) and had the lowest mineral bioavailability. Expression studies indicated that genes related to phytic acid highly expressed in the hemolymph of larvae that had not wriggled in soil. This study shows that C. bilineata tsingtauica larvae are vital sources of minerals and that long-established dietary habits have a scientific basis, thus providing insight into the use of this alternative food source to improve human health.

基于不同食用方法的双髻蝉幼虫组织中矿物质和抗营养素的分布情况

矿物质缺乏会导致人类出现各种健康问题，因此亟需其他矿物质来源来解决这一问题。青蒿幼虫营养丰富，在中国有几种不同的烹饪方法。本研究测定了青鱼幼虫体内十种不同矿物质元素的浓度。在土壤中蠕动的幼虫内脏中含有丰富的宏量和微量元素，分别为 4 800 毫克/千克和 271.68 毫克/千克。在土壤中蠕动的幼虫体内含有大量植酸（1707.07 μg/g），矿物质生物利用率最低。表达研究表明，与植酸有关的基因在未在土壤中蠕动的幼虫血淋巴中表达量很高。这项研究表明，双唇藻青苔幼虫是矿物质的重要来源，长期以来形成的饮食习惯是有科学依据的，从而为利用这种替代食物来源改善人类健康提供了启示。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Insects as Food and Feed covers edible insects from harvesting in the wild through to industrial scale production. It publishes contributions to understanding the ecology and biology of edible insects and the factors that determine their abundance, the importance of food insects in people’s livelihoods, the value of ethno-entomological knowledge, and the role of technology transfer to assist people to utilise traditional knowledge to improve the value of insect foods in their lives. The journal aims to cover the whole chain of insect collecting or rearing to marketing edible insect products, including the development of sustainable technology, such as automation processes at affordable costs, detection, identification and mitigating of microbial contaminants, development of protocols for quality control, processing methodologies and how they affect digestibility and nutritional composition of insects, and the potential of insects to transform low value organic wastes into high protein products. At the end of the edible insect food or feed chain, marketing issues, consumer acceptance, regulation and legislation pose new research challenges. Food safety and legislation are intimately related. Consumer attitude is strongly dependent on the perceived safety. Microbial safety, toxicity due to chemical contaminants, and allergies are important issues in safety of insects as food and feed. Innovative contributions that address the multitude of aspects relevant for the utilisation of insects in increasing food and feed quality, safety and security are welcomed.
