CoRoSect’s peer-reviewed paper in Journal Insect 2023+
CoRoSect partners authored a new article titled: “First Optimization of Tomato Pomace in Diets for Tenebrio molitor (L.) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae)”. The article investigates the use of tomato pmace, a by-product of tomato processing, as a component in rearing substrate for Yellow Mealworms. While larval performance remained consistent across diets, qualitative improvements such as increase lycopene, β-carotene, and improved fatty acid composition were observed, suggesting that tomato pomace can be a viable and even beneficial component in mealworm diets when supplemented with proteins and carbohydrates.
