1. Overview of the development and utilization of mealworms abroad

Many foreign countries are developing and utilizing mealworms, and some have even set up special institutions to conduct in-depth research. France, Germany, Russia and Japan were the first to conduct research. A lot of work has been done, from the research of artificial feeds, the improvement of artificial breeding technology to the exploration of the edible, medicinal and health functions of products. There have been many reports on these aspects. In recent years, some people have found that mealworm protein is not only a high-quality edible protein and medical protein, but also that adding mealworm protein to some liquid products can prevent freezing and ice formation, and can be used as beverages, medicines, car water tanks and industrial antifreeze and anti-icing agents in cold regions. Some countries use mealworms as raw materials to extract biochemical active substances as special medicines, such as interferon. Some countries process mealworms into dishes and put them on the table. Some use mealworms as raw materials to make medicines and health products and sell them on the market, such as fruit and vegetable yield increase and ripening agents and beauty cosmetics made from chitin products.

2. Domestic development and utilization of mealworms

Mealworm farming in my country started at the beginning of this century. At that time, the cultivated mealworms were mainly used as feed for medicinal animals and rare birds, and were also used for scientific research and teaching. Recently, the development and utilization of mealworms has developed rapidly. Due to the development of the health care product market, the development and utilization of mealworms has been promoted. The farming of mealworms has spread all over the country. Mealworms are sold in flower, bird, fish and insect markets everywhere, and the sales volume is very large. Mealworms have also developed from being used as feed for scorpions and turtles to being used as feed for more than ten kinds of animals such as birds, goldfish, turtles, clams, bullfrogs and tropical fish. Recently, scholars from all over the country have conducted more research on the consumption of mealworms. Catering systems, hotels and restaurants have gradually put mealworms on the table and have gradually been accepted by consumers.

In recent years, some scholars have been studying the use of mealworm epidermis to extract chitin and chitosan. Chitin, also known as chitosan, is an acetylglucosamine polymer that is widely found in lower plants, fungi, crustacean shells and higher plant cell walls. Chitosan, also known as chitosan, is the deacetylation product of chitin. Both chitin and chitosan have a wide range of uses. They can reduce human cholesterol, improve the body's immune system, prevent and treat diabetes, and lower blood pressure. They can be used to make artificial skin with cell activation, antibacterial and hemostatic effects. They can be used as food stabilizers, emulsifiers, preservatives and clarifiers. They can also play a role in the manufacture of textiles with antibacterial, antiseptic and anti-allergic effects.

At present, most chitin products on the market are extracted from shrimp and crab shells. Shrimp and crab shells contain a lot of lime and wax, and the chitin content is only 4%-6%, and the production process is relatively complicated. The lime and wax content of insect body walls is low, and the chitin content is as high as 20%-40%. It is easier to extract and the product quality is high. It has many uses in the manufacturing industries such as medicines, health products, food, cosmetics, textiles, or agricultural and forestry fruit and vegetable yield increase agents.

Mealworm fat is rich in unsaturated fatty acids and can be purified as medical and cosmetic fat. Mealworm fat can improve the skin's anti-wrinkle function and has a certain effect on treating and relieving symptoms of skin diseases, making it a product worthy of research and development.

(III) Development of mealworm food

After years of research and experimentation, we have divided mealworm foods into three categories, each of which can be divided into many series of products, which we call "Han Shrimp" foods.

1. The small food series uses a strict impurity removal process to process yellow mealworms (yellow mealworms that have not been strictly treated with impurity removal technology cannot be directly used to process food), and then are disinfected, fixed, dried (dehydrated) and ground into powder. We call it "Han shrimp powder".

Han shrimp powder can be used as food raw material and added to rice and noodle foods to make a series of "Han shrimp foods".

Adding 7% of "Han Shrimp Powder" to biscuits will make them delicious and the protein content can be increased by 1 time

Adding 5% "Han Shrimp Powder" into puffed food can make the puffed food crispy, delicious and nutritious.

Adding "Hanxia Powder" to crispy candies or mooncake fillings can make "Hanxia Crispy Candies" and "Hanxia Mooncakes" with special flavors.

2. Beverage series: The yellow mealworms that have been cleared of impurities are beaten and ground into juice, and the skin is filtered out. The juice is mixed into flavored beverages, or the juice is dried and powdered and mixed into granules. The protein content of this beverage is more than 10%, which is several times the protein content of milk. The taste is nut-flavored and has a unique flavor.

3. Deep processing products are processed to extract protein, complex amino acids, fat and chitin. Deep processing products have high requirements for production equipment and technology, and require large production investments. Just like the first two food series, mealworm raw materials must be strictly cleaned and disinfected before use.

Basically, everyone wants to raise them like you, but with so many people raising them, who can they sell them to? There is only a small market, and there are not many people feeding fish and birds. Farms that raise scorpions, centipedes, etc. all raise their own mealworms to feed them. The cost is low. I used to raise them and someone paid 4-5 yuan per pound. I don’t know if he is still doing it now. If you want to raise them, find a market first. I wish you good fortune!

Our country has a special market for mealworms. Heze, Shandong

It depends on how far you are from Luoyang, Henan.

Price 3-6.5 yuan per catty

I may have encountered an extreme case of 1.9 yuan. I almost lost my life.

2. How is the sales of mealworms?

Generally, you should choose a strong recycling company so that you don't have to worry too much. However, there are many dishonest companies in the market. Here are some companies that buy for feed. www.819678.com

3. Please help me with the sales of mealworms.

Fish, bird, flower and insect market, chicken farms need it.

4. How to sell farmed mealworms?

If you want to get rich by breeding mealworms, the main thing is 30% technology and 70% management. The current sales channels are multifaceted. You need to see whether the company you introduced the species to is more authoritative. The investment mainly depends on your financial situation. It is better to start small and expand after you have the technology. Fujian Dafa Mealworm Development Co., Ltd.

5. I am worried about the sales of mealworms

You can find a farm with strong sales capabilities to cooperate in breeding. Mealworm breeding is the largest sales volume in the insect breeding industry. It is also a feed production technology that must be mastered in the special breeding industry. It is an irreplaceable special breeding industry. You can enter Guangdong Pengxiang Mealworm Breeding Professional Cooperative on Baidu, where you can learn about the relevant market conditions and cooperation plans.
