Effect of Cereal α-Amylase/Trypsin Inhibitors on Developmental Characteristics and Abundance of Digestive Enzymes of Mealworm Larvae (<i>Tenebrio molitor</i> L.)

Effect of Cereal α-Amylase/Trypsin Inhibitors on Developmental Characteristics and Abundance of Digestive Enzymes of Mealworm Larvae (<i>Tenebrio molitor</i> L.)

The objective of this work was to investigate the potential effect of cereal α-amylase/trypsin inhibitors (ATIs) on growth parameters and selective digestive enzymes of <i>Tenebrio molitor</i> L. larvae. The approach consisted of feeding the larvae with wheat, sorghum and rice meals cont...
