“…Nta et al revealed that the infestation by A. obtectus of Phaseolus vulgaris and Phaseolus acutifolius caused a reduction in protein levels in beans [31]. Gabarty et al, studying the effects of infestation of wheat flour by Corcyra cephalonica (Stainton) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), Ephestia kuehniella (Zeller) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), and Tribolium confusum (du Val) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), recorded a significant increase in the total protein contents of the flour [5].…”

“…Nta et al showed that the infestation by A. obtectus of P. vulgaris and P. acutifolius beans caused a reduction in carbohydrates [31]. The percentage of reduction fluctuated between 10.2% and 30.5%, depending on the infestation level and the bean species.…”

“…Pant and Susheeda recorded a significant reduction in total fat, mineral matters, and vitamins thiamin and riboflavin in highly infested (30%) sorghum grains by Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) [10]. In legumes (P. vulgaris and P. acutifolius), the infestation by A. obtectus caused a reduction in minerals Na, Mg, Fe, and Co and an increase in K and Zn [31]. Furthermore, C. maculatus pest on cowpea seeds caused changes in the composition of the essential elements, reducing the concentration of Al and Fe and increasing that of Mn [35].…”

In this review article, we focus on the effects of insect pests on the quality of stored cereals and legume grains. The changes in the amino-acid content, the quality of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids, and the technological characteristics of the raw materials when infested by specific insects are presented. The differences reported concerning the rate and kind of infestation effects are related to the trophic habits of the infesting insect species, the variation of the component distribution in the different species of grains, and the length of the storage period. For example, wheat germ and brans feeders such as Trogoderma granarium may cause a higher reduction in proteins than endosperm feeders such as Rhyzopertha dominica, since the germ and brans contain higher concentrations of proteins. Trogoderma granarium may also cause higher reduction in lipids than R. dominica in wheat, maize and sorghum, in which most of the lipids exist in the germ. Furthermore, infestation with insects such as Tribolium castaneum may downgrade the overall quality of wheat flour, by increasing the moisture content, the number of insect fragments, the color change, the concentration of uric acid, the microbial growth, and the prevalence of aflatoxins. Whenever possible, the significance of the insect infestation and the concomitant compositional alterations on human health are presented. It should be highlighted that understanding the impact of insect infestation on stored agricultural products and the quality of food will be crucial for the required food security in the future.

In this study, the effectiveness of different conidial suspensions of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) on stored product pests Acanthoscelides obtectus (Say, 1831) (Bean Seed Beetle) (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae) and Cryptolestes ferrugineus (Stephens, 1831) (Rusty Grain Beetle) (Coleoptera, Cucujoidea: Laemophloeidae) was aimed to be determined. For this purpose, suspensions of B. bassiana isolate at concentrations of 106, 107, and 108 conidia/ml were used, with sterile water as a negative control and a recommended chemical insecticide (Declare) as a positive control. The application was set up in three replicates, with 10 adults in each replicate, and applied using the spraying method. To calculate the percentage of mortality, Petri dishes were regularly checked every 24 hours from the application, and the numbers of live and dead adults were recorded. According to the obtained data, it was determined that B. bassiana isolate was effective against C. ferrugineus at a rate of 80% and against A. obtectus at a rate of 56.67% after 168 hours. Among the applied suspensions, the most effective application was recorded at 108 conidia/ml. As a result, the entomopathogenic fungus B. bassiana, isolate, used as a biological control agent, is considered a promising biological control agent against the storage pests C. ferrugineus and A. obtectus.
