1. Antimicrobial peptides Antimicrobial peptides are polypeptides with antibacterial abilities in insects. They have the ability to kill bacteria and enhance the body's immunity. What’s interesting is that antimicrobial peptides only have an effect on microorganisms and not on animal and plant cells. Moreover, because of the special structure of antimicrobial peptides, it is difficult for bacteria to develop resistance through mutation. Therefore, antimicrobial peptides have gradually replaced antibiotics as feed additives . Some researchers used Escherichia coli and inactivated Escherichia coli to induce the production of antimicrobial peptides in mealworms and found that the bacterial content in their bodies was lower than the national standards . 2. Chitin Chitin, also known as chitin and chitin, is an element that is insoluble in water, alkali and other organic solvents. It is widely found in nature in the shells of lower plants, fungi, shrimps, crabs, insects and other crustaceans, and the cell walls of eubacteria. It has the functions of strengthening the immune system, accelerating wound repair, preventing diseases, maintaining the digestive system, and removing heavy metals from the body. Important features. In medicine, it is a single highly effective wound healing agent . 3. Interferon Interferon is a type of highly active multifunctional glycoprotein produced by biological cells induced by interferon inducers . It has anti-viral, anti-tumor, inhibiting cell proliferation, inhibiting virus replication, and improving canine immunity. functions etc. A special type of protein mostly produced by termitidae and hymenoptera insects. The mealworm in the title has this element. Adding such insect powder to animal feed can help enhance disease resistance and promote healthy and rapid growth of livestock and poultry . 4. Environmental protection. Insect feed is considered to be the animal protein resource with the smallest environmental impact, such as small carbon emissions, less land use, and high utilization rate. The mealworm in the title feeds on household waste such as straw, bran, and dregs, and is considered by many to be a very good bioconverter. In addition, Tenebrio molitor larvae can eat polystyrene foam, which may help us solve the problem of petroleum-based plastic waste pollution .

With the rapid growth of the global population and the increasing demand for healthy food, finding alternatives to traditional protein sources has become a popular area of research. Insect proteins have attracted much attention as a sustainable protein source. In this paper, the feasibility of insect protein will be analysed in terms of its production, nutritional value and environmental impact.   Production of insect protein The production of insect protein is relatively easy and sustainable. Firstly, insects are highly reproductive and can reproduce in large numbers in a short period of time. Secondly, the rearing cost of insects is relatively low and cheap resources such as waste can be utilised as rearing substrates to reduce production costs. Finally, the production of insect protein does not depend on large areas of land and large amounts of water resources, so it can solve the pressure of traditional animal husbandry on land and water resources.   Nutritional value of insect protein Insect protein is rich in nutrients, especially high-quality protein. The types and proportions of amino acids contained in insect protein are very close to the needs of the human body and are easily absorbed and utilised by the human body. In addition, insect protein is rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals, which help maintain the normal metabolic function of the human body. Compared with traditional livestock products, insect protein is more healthy and nutritionally balanced.   Environmental impact of insect protein Compared with traditional animal husbandry, the production of insect protein has less impact on the environment. Firstly, the space for rearing insects is relatively small and does not require a large area of land, which can reduce the occupation and destruction of land. Secondly, the waste produced during the rearing of insects can be utilised in the production of bio-fertiliser, reducing environmental pollution. In addition, insects have a short life cycle and strong reproductive capacity, which can rapidly recycle breeding waste and produce organic fertiliser, further reducing environmental pollution.   Food Safety of Insect Proteins Food safety of insect protein is a topic that needs attention. In the production and processing of insect protein, factors such as pests and diseases need to be strictly controlled to ensure product quality and food safety. In addition, the development of relevant food safety standards and testing methods is also an important measure to ensure the safety of insect protein. Therefore, to promote insect protein as a protein substitute, a sound food safety management system needs to be established. Market Prospects of Insect Protein As an emerging food ingredient, insect protein has great market potential. With the increasing demand for healthy food and sustainable development, insect protein products will become an important part of the food industry in the future. Currently, insect protein products have gained a certain market share in the European and American markets, while the Asian market is yet to be further developed. As a new type of protein with high nutritional value, insect protein products are expected to become a new favourite in the future food market.   Conclusion In summary, insect proteins are expected to be a sustainable alternative to traditional protein sources due to their advantages of easy production, nutritional richness and environmental friendliness. Although insect proteins still have challenges in food safety, this problem can be effectively solved by establishing a scientific food safety management system. With the increasing market demand and further maturation of technology, the market prospect of insect protein is very broad. Therefore, insect protein has high feasibility and development potential as an emerging protein source.

  There are about one million species of insects in the world, and more than 3,650 species are edible. According to experts' prediction, by the 21st century, insects will become the third largest source of protein after microorganisms and cellular organisms, because of their variety, large number, wide distribution, fast reproduction, high protein, low fat, low cholesterol, reasonable nutritional structure, less meat fibre, and easy to absorb, the advantages are outstanding and superior to plant proteins, which is a concern for the countries around the world. Relevant experts have proved after a large number of experiments: the magical substances contained in the insects themselves are incomparable to any plants and animals themselves. Insect protein will be the best additive to change the human body. Princeton University in New Jersey, the United States, was established at the end of the last century to explore a special insect substances of the scientific research team, they found that insect protein has a magical health effects: Antibacterial peptides     Insect active protein contains unique antibacterial peptide components, when the body is damaged or pathogenic microbial invasion, antibacterial peptide fast tracking, chasing and killing invaders, antibacterial peptide like immune police, with a sharp knife to meet "the enemy" in the bacteria, viruses, chiseled ion channels on the structure of the cell membrane, so that the bacterial cell membrane structure is destroyed, causing the cell water-soluble substances outflow, thus completely killing the bacteria. The water-soluble substances in the cell are caused to flow out of the cell, thus killing the bacteria completely. Humans often eat insect protein, like a barrier to the body, difficult to immersed in a hundred diseases! Immune scavenger Insect active protein is rich in chitin. And the purity of insect chitin is many times more pure than shrimp and crab chitin, chitin is one of the important pillars of the vitality of all living creatures, known as protein, sugar, fat, vitamins, minerals, after the "sixth nutritional elements of life". It is like a hard-working gardener, in the human immune system plays a three-regulation (two-way immune regulation, regulation of pH value, regulation of hormones), three rows (row of harmful substances in cells and body fluids, row of heavy metal ions, row of oxygen toxins), and constantly maintains the internal environment of the human body. Nutritional richness Insect active protein is rich in 8 essential amino acids, 17 other amino acids, peptides, unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients to strengthen nutrition, activate cells, very suitable for human absorption, is a natural high-level nutritional enhancer. Immune Repair According to CCTV report, the founder of AIDS "cocktail therapy " - the famous Chinese-American scientist Dr. He Dayi 's latest research found that: the unique defence of insect proteins is a kind of small molecule proteins, which has an important role in helping people with AIDS rebuild the immune system. The name of AIDS is "Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome". The scientific name of AIDS is " Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome ", and this research result confirms the unique restorative effect of defensins on the human immune system. Immune Activation In addition to antimicrobial peptide and defensin, insect active protein also contains exogenous lectin, which can promote mutual adhesion of cells and inhibit their proliferation, which not only makes normal cells more active, but also kills mutated cells, resists the spread of viruses, activates immunity, and effectively prevents and treats gastrointestinal tract inflammation and various infectious diseases.

Chitin is present in crab shells and other crustaceans shell edible animal cellulose, with lower cholesterol, enhance immunity, adsorption of harmful substances in the body and excluded from the body, stomach and intestines of the efficacy and role of the body of each person is different, need to use under the guidance of a doctor, you can not arbitrarily use their own.   The efficacy and role of chitin:   1. Lower cholesterol:   Chitin in the body in the form of positively charged cations, can be combined with bile acids and bile salts, can inhibit the absorption of cholesterol in the small intestine, will not only reduce the accumulation of cholesterol in the liver, but also reduce the concentration of malignant cholesterol, and improve the content of benign cholesterol   2. Enhance immunity:   Chitin can improve the body's immunity, has the effect of strengthening the role of immune cells. Animal experiments have confirmed that chitin's immune-enhancing effect helps to reduce the damage of tumor cells, and promote the newborn and normalization of damaged liver cells.   3. Adsorb harmful substances in the body and eliminate them from the body:   Chitin can also reduce the accumulation of heavy metals in the body, the accumulation of heavy metals in the body will cause neuropathy, organ dysfunction and other sequelae, chitin can adsorb heavy metals such as copper, cadmium, zinc, uranium, and excreted.   4. Stomach and intestines:   Chitin can promote the propagation of beneficial bacteria in the intestine, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, reduce the opportunity for the growth of coliform bacteria, can improve digestive function, to achieve the effect of stomach and intestines.

Yellow mealworm has the function and effect of supplementing nutrition, improving immunity, assisting in anti-fatigue, preserving the liver and brightening the eyes, reducing swelling and relieving pain, etc., but it needs to be consumed in moderation under the guidance of a doctor. 1.Supplementary Nutrition Yellow mealworm is rich in amino acids, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients, appropriate consumption can be supplemented for the human body needs nutrients, to maintain the body nutritional balance. 2、Improve immunity Yellow mealworms are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, DHA, EPA and other nutrients, these substances to a certain extent can improve the body's immunity. 3、Assist in anti-fatigue If the patient often do heavy physical labor, resulting in excessive fatigue, may appear depressed, body weakness and other symptoms, at this time to eat the appropriate yellow mealworm can play an auxiliary anti-fatigue effect. 4、Protecting the liver and improving eyesight Yellow mealworms are rich in vitamin A, can promote the development of eye nerves, to a certain extent, can also achieve the effect of liver and eyesight, can improve the situation of vision loss. 5, reduce swelling and pain Yellow mealworm has the effect of swelling and pain, in the clinic can be used to relieve the fracture caused by local swelling, pain and other symptoms. Although the efficacy of the yellow mealworm has a lot, but it is not suitable for all people to eat, especially to the yellow mealworm allergy crowd, easy to cause allergic reactions. Patients need to be treated with medication under the guidance of a doctor and avoid using it on their own to avoid causing adverse reactions. If the patient in the process of using any uncomfortable symptoms, it is recommended to stop the drug and seek medical treatment in a timely manner.
