“…It is possible that A. obliqua use protein compounds as phagostimulants because of their dependence on this nutrient for egg production. VANDERZANT (1974) found that both wheat germ and brewer's yeast are rich in important nutrients for the insects, besides containing substances apparently attractive to the species. SHARP & CHAMBERS (1984) found that several aminoacids, many of which are present in yeast, are high phagostimulants for both A. suspensa males and females, and are, apparently, the active compounds responsible for the amounts of protein ingested by the flies.…”

Using artificial solid diets, experiments were performed with Anastrepha obliqua (Macquart, 1835) wild females in order to verify the influence of different quantities of brewer yeast on the performance and compensation behavior to unbalanced diets ingestion. The observed parameters were egg production, ingestion, diet efficiency and survival in the reproductive phase. Results indicated that there was no compensatory ingestion to different quantities of yeast and that the diet with 12.5g of yeast provided the best performance. The absence of compensatory ingestion is discussed based on the yeast phagostimulation and on the costs involved in solid diets ingestion. The relation between the analyzed parameters and the protein quantities in the diet were discussed.

“…With any new invasive insect species, the development of optimal diets is crucial for the success of any integrated pest management program and one of the first steps in obtaining adequate live material for study (Vanderzant 1974). Rearing drosophilid flies is well established.…”

“…Among proteins, casein has been widely used in artificial rearing diets because it contains all the essential amino acids, is soluble in water, and does not coagulate or precipitate after heating (Parra 1979). Casein also contains traces of important substances such as fatty acids, cholesterol, sugars, vitamins, and minerals (Vanderzant 1966).…”

-The flavonoid rutin is recognized as playing an important role in the protection of plants against lepidopterans. Bioassays with this compound are generally carried out using artificial diets. Proteins of high energy value, such as casein, are important ingredients of insect artificial diets as a source of essential amino acids. However, such proteins can generally increase the allelochemical activity. Our objective was to evaluate the effects of rutin on larvae of the velvetbean caterpillar Anticarsia gemmatalis Hübner by incorporating this allelochemical into diets with different concentrations of casein. Three casein concentrations (0, 7 g, or 14 g) combined with none, 0.65%, or 1.30% of rutin were added to the rearing diet and offered to the larvae from hatching to pupation. Rutin negatively affected larval development, the amount of food consumed, and pupal weight of A. gemmatalis. These negative effects were clearly seen in insects fed on diets with 7 g of casein to which any concentration of rutin was added. The effects of rutin when added to the diets without casein were stronger than in diets containing a suitable amount of casein (14 g). The greater negative effects of rutin in diets containing suboptimal concentrations of casein indicate that casein can increase the effects of rutin only when the diets are nutritionally unsuitable for insect development.
