Exploring the Potential of Yellow Mealworm (<i>Tenebrio molitor</i>) Oil as a Nutraceutical Ingredient

Exploring the Potential of Yellow Mealworm (<i>Tenebrio molitor</i>) Oil as a Nutraceutical Ingredient

During defatted <i>Tenebrio molitor</i> (TM) larvae powder production, oil is obtained as a by-product, mainly intended for feed enrichment or as a biofuel component. In 2021, EFSA authorized TM as the first insect to be a novel food. Thus, the study aimed to assess the composition, incl...
