Description

Brown mealworm feed and its manufacturing method {A mealworm beetle feed and its manufacturing method}

The present invention relates to a brown mealworm feed and a method for manufacturing the same, and specifically, it is possible to improve the mortality rate of brown mealworm, improve feed efficiency, and increase the protein content so that brown mealworm can be used as a high-functional raw material. It relates to a brown mealworm feed, a method for producing the same, and a method for breeding brown mealworm using the same.

The content described below merely provides background information related to the present invention and does not constitute the prior art.

Mealworm beetle is a type of insect in the family Mealworm. Similar to grain mealworm, but larger in larvae. The caterpillars of brown mealworms are often called mealworms.

Mealworm brown mealworm is a good insect to breed in large quantities, and it is reevaluated as a functional food ingredient because it is rich in protein and unsaturated fatty acids. Recently, it is also being studied as a patient food, and it is also a high-protein food that is still used as a patient food in some hospitals.

In addition, as a specific example, Korean Patent No. 10-1916531 discloses a pharmaceutical composition for the prevention of chlorosis containing a hot water extract of brown mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) as an active ingredient, and in Korean Patent No. 10-2003312, 70% by weight of a basic compounding material And based on 100 parts by weight of the mixed powder comprising 30% by weight of brown mealworm powder, extruding a dough mixture prepared by mixing 40 parts by weight of water under the condition of an outlet temperature of 140° C., wherein the basic compounding material is Disclosed is a method for producing extruded artificial meat, characterized in that it consists of 65% by weight of skim soybean flour, 25% by weight of isolated soybean protein and 10% by weight of corn starch based on its own weight.

In addition, mealworms are already made and sold as snacks and dishes on the market, and it is known that many European countries are mass-bred for food sales of mealworms.

In Korea, the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety also recognized brown mealworm larvae as edible, as the Rural Development Administration conducted a 2014 study on the edible use of brown mealworm and whether it was toxic.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs of the Republic of Korea proposed to call it 'Gosoae', which means 'savory caterpillar' in order to promote the consumption of brown mealworm larvae (mealworms). It has been hailed as a future food substitute for meat. High in protein and unsaturated fatty acids, it has an excellent effect in preventing cardiovascular disease.

Conventionally, it has been common to mix wheat bran and fruit as feed for brown mealworm, and recently, a feed for reinforcing the functionality of brown mealworm is being developed. As a specific example, in Korean Patent No. 10-2075645, 0.1 to 40 parts by weight of monosodium glutamate ( Mono sodium glutamate) comprising the step of feeding a feed composition for insects containing at least 20 days or more; Insects in which the GABA content in the insect body is 3.19 times to 10.32 times increased compared to insects bred without monosodium glutamate Disclosed is a breeding method of insects, characterized in that it produces, and there is still a demand for brown mealworm feed that can improve mortality and improve feed efficiency, and development thereof is urgently requested.
