Facile acid fermentation extraction of silkworm pupae oil and evaluation of its physical and chemical properties for utilization as edible oil

“…The fresh desilked pupae were used to estimate the contents of moisture, crude protein, crude fat, crude fiber, total carbohydrate, and ash in the silkworm pupae following standard procedures [ 24 , 25 , 26 ]. The moisture content of the silkworm was determined by drying it in an oven at 105 °C, and data were obtained until a constant weight loss was achieved.…”

“…The fatty acid content of the silkworm oil was determined by following Ferdousi et al [ 26 ]. In brief, 3.5 mL of 0.5 M Sodium methoxide was added to 200 mg of oil sample in a 10 mL test tube.…”
