The Odor Substances and Removal Methods for Silkworm Pupae
Silkworm pupae is the main by-product of the silkworm industry.It is rich in protein,fat,vitamins,trace elements and other nutrients.It is a high protein feed resource and the yield is very considerable.However,silkworm pupae has a special peculiar smell due to the substances secreted by its own glands and the decomposition and transformation during storage and processing.The residue of its peculiar smell in livestock as feed limits the feed utilization of silkworm pupae.This paper reviews the research progress of applying gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to analyze and identify the odor components of silkworm pupae,and the technical methods to remove the odor of silkworm pupae,including distillation,adsorption,oxidation,microbial fermentation,etc.,so as to provide reference for the in-depth study of silkworm pupae feed.
