Influence of drying method and location on amino acids and mineral elements of Sternocera orissa Buguet 1836 (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) in South Africa

Influence of drying method and location on amino acid and mineral composition of African metallic wood boring beetle, Sternocera orissa Buquet (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), widely consumed in certain rural communities of Limpopo Province, South Africa was investigated. Randomised complete block design...

description Influence of drying method and location on amino acid and mineral composition of African metallic wood boring beetle, Sternocera orissa Buquet (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), widely consumed in certain rural communities of Limpopo Province, South Africa was investigated. Randomised complete block design in a 3 × 3 factorial arrangement was used with three drying methods (oven-drying, freeze drying, locally method) and three locations (Khureng, Magatle, Ga-Masemola). The experiment was replicated three times. Relative to freeze-drying, oven-drying and cooking significantly increased essential and non-essential amino acids. Location did not have significant effect on the essential and non-essential amino acids of S. orissa across all the villages. Similarly, oven-drying and cooking increased potassium, phosphorus, iron, zinc and magnesium. Compared to locations, beetlesat Ga-Masemola had high amount of iron. Results of this study suggest that oven-drying and cooking improved the amino acids and mineral composition of S. orissa, which has the potential of enhancing nutrition nationally and internationally.
