about 3 mg/larva) were inoculated into 1000 g mixture of RSW and
rice straw. All the experiments were carried out in a greenhouse at
27 C with 70% air moisture. Conversion was terminated when
prepupae accounted for about half of the larvae. The larvae were
separated from the residue, water washed, and inactivated at 110 C
for 10 min and dried at 50 C until constant weight was gained. After
being ground with micro-mill larval biomass was stored at 4 C until
grease extraction could be performed.
