Partial replacement of soybean meal by yellow mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) meal influences the flesh quality of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
This study investigated the effects of yellow mealworm meal (YM) replacing soybean meal (SBM) at different proportions (0%, 15%, 30% and 45%, referred as YM0, YM15, YM30 and YM45, respectively) on the flesh quality of Nile tilapia. A total of 360 fish (70.0 ± 0.12 g) were randomly divided into 4 gro...

| description | This study investigated the effects of yellow mealworm meal (YM) replacing soybean meal (SBM) at different proportions (0%, 15%, 30% and 45%, referred as YM0, YM15, YM30 and YM45, respectively) on the flesh quality of Nile tilapia. A total of 360 fish (70.0 ± 0.12 g) were randomly divided into 4 groups (3 tanks per group). Fish were fed the experimental diet twice daily for 10 wk. The results showed that muscle protein content significantly decreased in YM30 and YM45, while the lipid content significantly decreased in YM45 (P < 0.05). The essential amino acids and flavor amino acids of the muscle were not affected by the YM substitution, while saturated fatty acid content decreased in YM30 and YM45 compared with YM0 (P < 0.05). Fillets in YM45 had higher hardness, gumminess, and a higher proportion of thin myofibers (≤100 μm, P < 0.05) than those in other groups. Further analysis revealed that apoptosis and atrophy related genes were up-regulated, while the muscle antioxidant capacity decreased significantly in YM45 (P < 0.05), which may be related to the high acid value in YM45 diet. Our findings indicated that YM could replace up to 30% SBM without substantially altering the flesh quality. When the replacement ratio increased to 45%, the flesh quality would change. Special attention should be paid to avoid feed rancidity which may affect the flesh quality of fish. |
