Abstract In this study, the effect of different carbohydrates on food consumption, growth and development duration of Ephestia kuehniella Zeller (Lepidoptera:Pyralidae) larvae was investigated. 13 diets containing different carbohydrates were prepared. Control diet did not contain carbohydrates. The 8 diet contains 3% concentration of glucose, galactose, maltose, starch, arabinose, mannose, sucrose or fructose. 2 of the diets contains 10% or 30% starch. 2 of the diets contain a mixture of carbohydrates (2 Glucose: 1Fructose; 2 Fructose: 1 Glucose). According to the results, only the increase in food consumption does not indicate that a carbohydrate is a feeding stimulus. The conversion of carbohydrates is also important. Although the dietary consumption of arabinose is high, pupa dry weight, pupa lipid and pupa protein are not high. Conversely, although the consumption of the glucose-containing diet is low, the pupa dry weight and pupa lipid content are high. The glucose-fructose mixture is stimulant for E. kuehniella larvae. G2-F1 diet is the diet with high food consumption and growth performance. In addition, it was determined that as the starch concentration in the diet increased, the amount of consumption increased but the pupa dry weight, which is an indicator of fecundity, decreased. It is important result that the amount of pupa protein does not differ in diets except carbohydrate free diet and G2-F1 diet.

碳水化合物对地中海面粉口Ephestia kuehniella Zeller（鳞翅目：Pyralidae）营养偏好及发育的影响

摘要 本研究研究了不同碳水化合物对Ephestia kuehniella Zeller (Lepidoptera:Pyralidae) 幼虫摄食量、生长发育持续时间的影响。制备了 13 种含有不同碳水化合物的饮食。对照饮食不含碳水化合物。8 日粮含有 3% 浓度的葡萄糖、半乳糖、麦芽糖、淀粉、阿拉伯糖、甘露糖、蔗糖或果糖。两种饮食含有 10% 或 30% 的淀粉。其中 2 种饮食含有碳水化合物的混合物（2 种葡萄糖：1 种果糖；2 种果糖：1 种葡萄糖）。根据结果​​，只有食物消耗的增加并不表明碳水化合物是一种进食刺激。碳水化合物的转化也很重要。虽然阿拉伯糖的膳食消耗量较高，但蛹干重、蛹脂和蛹蛋白均不高。反过来，虽然含糖饮食的消耗量低，但蛹干重和蛹脂质含量高。葡萄糖-果糖混合物是 E. kuehniella 幼虫的兴奋剂。G2-F1日粮是具有高食量和生长性能的日粮。此外，确定随着饮食中淀粉浓度的增加，食用量增加，但蛹干重（繁殖力的指标）下降。重要的结果是，除无碳水化合物饮食和 G2-F1 饮食外，其他饮食中蛹蛋白的含量没有差异。确定随着饮食中淀粉浓度的增加，食用量增加，但蛹干重（繁殖力的指标）下降。重要的结果是，除无碳水化合物饮食和 G2-F1 饮食外，其他饮食中蛹蛋白的含量没有差异。确定随着饮食中淀粉浓度的增加，食用量增加，但蛹干重（繁殖力的指标）下降。重要的结果是，除无碳水化合物饮食和 G2-F1 饮食外，其他饮食中蛹蛋白的含量没有差异。
