Manufacturing Method of edible Tenebrio molitor mealworm powder and edible Tenebrio molitor mealworm powder using the same

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing edible Tenebrio molitor mealworm powder and to edible Tenebrio molitor mealworm powder manufactured by the same. The method includes: a first step of breeding larvae by feeding larvae of Tenebrio molitor mealworm with sterilized feed; a second step of inducing the larvae to defecate by providing no feed for 1-5 days; a third step of sterilizing the larvae at high temperatures and high pressure of 115-121C and 0.9-1.3 kgf/cm^2 after the larvae defecate; a fourth step of freezing and drying the sterilized larvae; and a fifth step of manufacturing the edible Tenebrio molitor mealworm powder by grinding the frozen and dried larvae. By the method, bacteria and off-flavor unique to edible Tenebrio molitor mealworm are eliminated.
