Abstract： The nutritional composition of Neochauliodes sparsus （Liu et Yang）larvae was analyzed.Protein,amino acid,fat,sugar and ash content were respectively 67.69％,56.02％,10.4％,1.59％ and 7.05％ of dry samples.Furthermore,sampled insects contained 18 essential amino acids,including 8 human essential amino acids,and essential amino acids comprised 45.32% of the total amino acids.The ratio of essential to nonessential amino acids was 82.89%.TRY was the first limiting amino acid in larvae protein.In addition, larvae contained abundant minerals and trace elements,including Ca,P,Fe and Zn.Based on these data,the potential for utilization of N.sparsus larvae was evaluated.
