Near-Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy for Quantitative Analysis of Fat and Fatty Acid Content in Living Larvae to Detect the Influence of Substrate on Larval Composition.

Several studies have shown that mealworms ( L.) could provide animals and humans with valuable nutrients. larvae were studied to determine whether their rearing diets affected their fat and fatty acid content and to ascertain if it is possible to detect the changes in the larval fat composition using near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS).
