Özet:

 The present study investigates the impact of SiO₂ NPs Silicon Dioxide Nanoparticles 50060000 ppm on key chemical parameters including protein, lipid, carbohydrate, moisture, ash, and fatty acid composition in Galleria mellonella Lepidoptera: Pyralidae larvae, with a view to identifying potential implications for sustainable food systems. It was determined that the protein and carbohydrate contents of larvae fed with high doses 5000 ppm of SiO2 NPs were significantly reduced in comparison to the control group. Moreover, an increment in the dose of SiO2 NPs resulted in a decrease in the fat content of the larvae. It was found that larvae exposed to 500 and 30000 ppm SiO2 NPs exhibited a reduction in moisture content. Furthermore, the ash content of all larvae treated with SiO2 NPs exhibited a significant increase. Finally, an increment in the dose of SiO2 NPs in the larvae was found to be an increase in the level of palmitic acid and a decrease in the level of oleic acid. These findings demonstrate the importance of evaluating the risks associated with nanoparticle exposure in edible insect-based food products with a view to ensuring food safety and sustainability.

 Bu çalışma, Galleria mellonella Lepidoptera: Pyralidae larvalarında SiO₂ NPlerin Silikon Dioksit Nanopartikülleri 50060000 ppm protein, lipid, karbonhidrat, nem, kül ve yağ asidi bileşimi dahil olmak üzere sürdürülebilir gıda sistemleri için potansiyel etkilerin belirlenmesine yönelik bir bakış açısı ile temel kimyasal parametreler üzerindeki etkisini araştırmaktadır. Yüksek dozda 5000 ppm SiO2 NP ile beslenen larvaların protein ve karbonhidrat içeriklerinin kontrol grubuna göre önemli ölçüde azaldığı belirlendi. Ayrıca SiO2 NP dozunun arttırılması larvaların yağ içeriğinin azalmasına neden olmuştur. 500 ve 30000 ppm SiO2 NPlere maruz kalan larvaların nem içeriğinde azalma gösterdiği tespit edildi. Dahası, SiO2 NPleri ile muamele edilen tüm larvaların kül içeriğinde önemli bir artış görüldü. Son olarak larvalarda SiO2 NP dozunun artmasıyla palmitik asit düzeyinde artış, oleik asit düzeyinde ise azalma olduğu tespit edildi. Bu bulgular, gıda güvenliğini ve sürdürülebilirliğini sağlamak amacıyla yenilebilir böcek bazlı gıda ürünlerinde nanopartikül maruziyetiyle ilişkili risklerin değerlendirilmesinin önemini göstermektedir.
