Ultra-Fine Mealworm Powder Crude Protein ≥ 55% High Solubility & Blendability GMP+ & FDA Certified Industrial Mill & OEM Grade
INDUSTRIAL PROTEIN INGREDIENT SUMMARY Designed for commercial pet food manufacturers, aquafeed mills, and specialty nutrition formulators, our Dried Mealworm Powder (Tenebrio molitor protein meal) is precision-milled from premium microwave-dried larvae. Featuring a high-purity profile with 55%+ crude protein and superior amino acid bio-availability, this homogeneous fine powder seamlessly integrates into extruded kibble, wet canned pet food, and micro-diets without altering textural integrity. |
Nutritional Profile & Amino Acid Bio-Availability
Mealworm powder concentrates the natural nutritional richness of whole larvae into an easily digestible meal. It provides an exceptional balance of functional proteins, essential fatty acids, and prebiotic chitin, making it an ideal sustainable alternative to traditional fishmeal and soy protein concentrate.

Milling Advantage: Ultra-Fine Micronization vs. Standard Coarse Grinding
✔ Our Ultra-Fine Milling Standard • High Mesh Uniformity: Processed through high-speed air-classifier mills to ensure smooth particle distribution. • Seamless Extrusion Fit: Passes smoothly through commercial feed pellet dies and kibble extruders without clogging. • Enhanced Palatability: Fine surface area maximizes flavor release, boosting food intake in picky pets. • Pure Insect Integrity: Zero added binding agents or diluents—100% pure dried mealworms. | ✘ Crude Hammer-Milled Powder • Uneven Particle Sizing: Contains coarse shell fragments that cause roughness in finished pet food textures. • Equipment Jamming: Large, irregular particles clog fine nozzles and commercial pelletizers. • Heat Damage: Uncontrolled friction during grinding overheats the meal, degrading sensitive amino acids. • Caking Issues: Poor moisture sealing leads to rapid clumping and caking inside storage bags. |
Recommended Industrial Applications & Formulations
01 / Premium Extruded Pet Kibble & Treats Blended directly into dog and cat food formulations as a hypoallergenic, novel protein ingredient that appeals to pet parents seeking sustainable, grain-free nutrition. | 02 / Wet Canned Food & Gravy Enhancers Easily emulsified into meat slurries and gravies for canned cat and dog food, providing rich natural aroma and appetizing color depth. |
03 / Commercial Aquafeed & Shrimp Diets Acts as an effective feeding stimulant (attractant) for high-value aquaculture species, replacing scarce marine fishmeal without compromising growth performance. | 04 / Specialty Reptile & Amphibian Mashes Formulated into crested gecko diet powders, amphibian gel mixes, and hand-rearing formulas requiring complete insect-based amino acid profiles. |

Frequently Asked Questions (Technical & Procurement)
Q1. What is the mesh size / particle fineness of your mealworm powder?
Our standard production output is milled to 60 to 80 mesh (particle size < 250 microns), ensuring optimal smoothness for commercial extruders and feed mixing equipment. Custom mesh sizing can be arranged for specialized micro-diets.
Q2. Do you provide batch-specific COA and sanitary certificates for customs?
Yes, absolutely. Every shipment is accompanied by an official Certificate of Analysis covering crude protein, moisture, fat, ash, and microbiological parameters (Salmonella-negative), alongside the Veterinary Health Certificate.
Q3. How can our R&D team obtain a powder sample for formulation testing?
We welcome R&D sample requests from feed mills and pet food brands. Free 500g powder samples are dispatched upon request—simply submit your project details and shipping address via our inquiry form.
