A total of 48 different volatile oils were identified form P. brevitarsis larvae by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Acids (48.67%) were detected as the major group in P. brevitarsis larvae comprising the largest proportion of the volatile compounds, followed by esters (19.84%), hydrocarbons (18.90%), alcohols (8.37%), miscellaneous (1.71%), aldehydes (1.35%) and terpenes (1.16%). The major volatile constituents were 9-hexadecenoic acid (16.75%), 6-octadecenoic acid (14.88%) and n-hexadecanoic acid (11.06%). The composition of fatty acid was also determined by GC analysis and 16 fatty acids were identified. The predominant fatty acids were oleic acid ($C_{18:1}$, 64.24%) followed by palmitic acid ($C_{16:0}$, 15.89%), palmitoleic acid ($C_{16:1}$, 10.43%) and linoleic acid ($C_{18:2}$, 4.69%) constituting more than 95% of total fatty acids. The distinguished characteristic of the fatty acid profile of P. brevitarsis larvae was the high proportion of unsaturated fatty acid (80.54% of total fatty acids) versus saturated fatty acids (19.46% of total fatty acids). Furthermore, small but significant amounts of linoleic, linolenic and ${\gamma}$-linolenic acids bestow P. brevitarsis larvae with considerable nutritional value. The novel findings of the present study provide a scientific basis for the comprehensive utilization of the insect as a nutritionally promising food source and a possibility for more effective utilization.

본 연구에서는 유산균 발효가 큰느타리버섯 수확후배지를 식이한 흰점박이꽃무지 유충의 항산화 활성에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 흰점박이꽃무지 유충을 유산균으로 발효시키고, 흰점박이꽃무지 유충(PLE)과 발효 흰점박이꽃무지 유충(FPLE) 추출물의 항산화 활성을 비교하였다. 추출물 PLE와 FPLE의 총 폴리페놀 함량은 각각 65.02±1.32 mg GAEs/extract g과 93.33±0.98 mg GAEs/extract g이었고, 플라보노이드 함량은 각각 18.3±1.57 mg QEs/extract g과 17.69±0.95 mg QEs/extract g이었다. 추출물 PLE와 FPLE의 DPPH에 의한 라디칼소거 활성은 2-4 mg/ml의 농도에서는 두 시료 간의 유의적 차이를 나타나지 않았지만, 8mg/ml 이상의 농도에서는 추출물 PLE에 비해 FPLE의 DPPH 라디칼 소거능이 우수하였다. 추출물 PLE와 FPLE의 환원력도 추출물 PLE에 비해 FPLE이 우수하였으며 1.6 mg/ml 이상의 농도에서는 PLE에 비해 FPLE의 환원력이 2배 이상 높게 나타났다. 추출물 PLE와 FPLE의 ORAC 지수는 각각 74.34±0.37 uM TEs/extract g과 79.22±0.72 uM TEs/extract g으로 추추물 PLE에 비해 FPLE의 ORAC 지수가 높게 나타났고, RAW 264.7 세포에 대한 추출물의 세포독성은 나타나지 않았다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면, 큰느타리버섯 수확후 배지를 식이한 흰점박이꽃무지 유충은 유산균 발효에 의해 항산화물질인 총 폴리페놀 함량 및 항산화 활성이 증가된 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 발효법은 흰점박이꽃무지 유충을 식의약품 소재로 개발하는 과정에 필요한 전처리 과정이라고 판단된다.

The goal of this study was to evaluate the influence of various supplementary feeds on the chemical composition and production of bioactive substances in Protaetia brevitarsis larvae. The primary feed-oak-fermented sawdust-was supplemented with a variety of substances, including aloe, apple, banana, sweet persimmon (S. persimmon) and sweet pumpkin (S. pumpkin). Crude protein and fat content were the highest in the control and S. pumpkin group, respectively. Supplementary feeds increased the content of unsaturated fatty acids, except in the group receiving S. pumpkin, in which oleic acid was the most abundant (58.2%-64.5%). Free essential amino acids in larvae receiving supplementary aloe were higher compared with the control group except for Lys and His. Polyphenol and flavonoid contents and the antioxidant activities of ABTS and DPPH were higher in all treated groups compared with the control group. Although supplementary feeds led to a decreased crude protein content in the treated larvae when compared with the control group, these treatments generally improved the levels of unsaturated fatty acids and antioxidative activity. Therefore, we suggest that among the supplementary foods tested, aloe is a better resource for P. brevitarsis based on crude protein content, free amino acids and other bioactive compounds such as unsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants.

Metarhizium anisopliae (녹강균)는 흰점박이꽃무지에게 질병을 일으키는 곤충 병원성 곰팡이 중 하나이다. 이러한 곰팡이의 병원성은 환경 조건에 의해 영향을 받는다. 녹강균에 대한 흰점박이꽃무지 유충의 민감성을 알기 위해 온도(20℃, 25℃, 30℃), 상대습도(RH 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%), 톱밥 수분함량(40%, 50%, 60%)이 다른 사육 조건에서 유충의 치사율을 확인하였다. 녹강균을 처리한 흰점박이꽃무지 유충의 치사율은 온도에 따라 차이가 나타나지 않았으나, 낮은 상대습도(RH 40%)와 톱밥 수분함량(40%)에서 유충의 치사율이 높았다. 녹강균에 대한 1령, 2령, 3령 유충의 치사율은 1령에서 가장 높게 나타났다.

This study investigated the oviposition characteristics of Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis after emergence as adults from the larva collected from three regions in Gangwon-do, Chungcheongnam-do, and Jeju-do. The laying egg method was identified with zone breeding, and the average and cumulative number of eggs laid were measured once a week for seven weeks. The average number of eggs laid peaked until 4 weeks, and subsequently decreased. The source areas with respect to average number and cumulative number of eggs laid were in the order of Jeju > Chungnam > Gangwon. In conclusion, this result suggests a method for continuously improving management and economic feasibility of insect farming by securing genetic diversity, and raising the most productive breeds to select individuals form regions associated with high numbers of laid eggs.

Change of proteins was confirmed during low temperature acclimation of overwintering larva, and some biochemical characteristics of the induced antifreeze protein-1 (AFP-1) were investigated in Protaetia brevitarsis. As the freezing point depression by the action of induced AFPs, a considerable thermal hysteresis was observed in the haemolymph and in partially purified proteins. AFP-1 was purified from the cold acclimation larvae by ammonium sulfate precipitation ion exchange chromatography, gel permeation chromatography, and electroelution. The purified AFP-1 was determined to be a glycoprotein (approximately 320 kDa, pl 5.8) composed of a single type of subunit (80 kDa). The high contents of hydrophilic amino acids (Asp, Glu, Lys, Asn, Gln, Arg, Ser, Thr) were also confirmed, showing similarity with antifreeze proteins from other insects.

본 연구는 유용 미생물을 이용하여 흰점박이 꽃무지 유충을 발효시킨 분말을 수용성, 에탄올, 메탄올 용매별 추출하여 항산화 등의 실험에 임하였다. 발효 균주로는 3종의 유산균 Lactobacillus plantarum JBMI F3, Lactobacillus plantarum JBMI F5, Lactobacullus gasseri Ba9, 1종의 곰팡이 Aspergillus kawachii KCCM 32819, 1종의 효모 Saccharomyces cerevisiae KACC 93023, 1 종의 바실러스 Bacillus subtilis KACC 91157 총 6종의 유용 미생물 균주를 사용하였다. 발효 굼벵이 분말 추출물의 유효성분(총 페놀 함량 및 플라보노이드 함량)과 생리 활성 효능(DPPH 자유 라디칼 소거 활성, 환원력 실험, 혈전용해능, ${\alpha}-amylase$ 활성)을 비교 검토하였다. 총 페놀 함량 및 플라보노이드 함량은 바실러스 균주 발효 굼벵이 분말의 수용성 추출물에서 높은 수치를 나타내었다. 항산화 활성을 확인하기 위해 DPPH 자유 라디칼 소거능 및 환원력 실험을 수행한 결과, 비발효군 보다 발효군에서 우수한 항산화능을 보였고, 그 중 바실러스 균주를 이용한 발효 추출물이 긍정적인 효과를 나타내었다. 혈전 용해능에서 또한, 바실러스 균주 발효 굼벵이 추출물에서 우수한 혈전 용해능을 확인였고, 효소-기질 분해능 실험의 ${\alpha}-amylase$ 활성은 비발효군보다 발효군에서 높은 효과를 확인하였으나 발효균주간 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 따라서, 유용 미생물을 이용한 발효 굼벵이 추출물의 유용성분 및 생리활성이 강화됨을 확인하였고, 이는 건강 식품 소재로의 이용 가능성이 높다고 판단된다.

The induced antibiotic peptides were isolatde from the white-spotted folwer chafer, Protaetia brevitarsis by injection of E. coli suspension to the larvae of the insect. The antibacterial activity of the peptides were assayed by the plate growth ingibition method, and were purified by ion-exchange chromatography, reversed-phase HPLC, ion-exchange HPLC and SDS-PAGE etc. The peptides were estimated as 9 kDa in molecular weight and named Protaecin I and Protaecin II, respectively. Protaecin I and II have strong antibacterial activities against Gram-positivie and/or Gram-negative bacteria, and they are stable in the heat treatment and in the range of pH 2-12.

The use of edible insects to replace meat protein is important to ensure future global food security. However, processed foods using edible insects require development to enhance consumer perception. Here, we examined the physicochemical characteristics and rheological properties of emulsions prepared from different edible insect larvae. Three edible insect species (Tenebrio molitor, Allomyrina dichotoma and Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis) were used to prepare larval emulsions that were formulated with 65% of insect larvae, 20% of pork back fat, and 15% ice. The A. dichotoma emulsion had the highest pH and lightness, redness, and yellowness values, while the T. molitor emulsion had the lowest pH and lightness, redness, and yellowness values. The T. molitor emulsion had the highest hardness, gumminess, chewiness, and apparent viscosity values but the lowest springiness and cohesiveness values. According to the sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analysis, T. molitor had the thickest bands, followed by P. brevitarsis seulensis. The differential scanning calorimetry distributions for the T. molitor and A. dichotoma emulsions showed one peak, while that of the P. brevitarsis seulensis emulsion had two peaks. The collective results suggest that T. molitor was the most suitable candidate (of the three tested species) for use as a meat replacement in terms of its physicochemical and rheological properties. It is important that such properties of insect-based emulsions are maintained using various technologies.
