Abstract:

The effect of selenium on the the nutrition and functional components in the synnemata of Isaria cicadae was explored by the selenium-enriched culture of synnemata of I. cicadae using sodium selenite as the source of selenium. And the nutritional value of the protein of synnemata of I. cicadae was evaluated. The results showed that the selenium amount of synnemata increased with the increase of sodium selenite in the culture media. When the concentration of sodium selenite was 100 mg·kg -1 in the medium, the selenium content in synnemata of I. cicadae reached 142.22 mg·kg -1. The contents of protein, fat, adenosine and mannitol in the selenium-enriched synnemata of I. cicadae were significantly higher than those of the control group. The amino acid ratio coefficient score (SRCAA) of protein of synnemata of I. cicadae, cultured in the media with 75 mg·kg -1 sodium selenite, was 52.60, which is higher than the control group. Cluster analysis indicated that, in general, the effect of sodium selenite on the nutritional and functional components of synnemata of I. cicadae were increased with the increase of sodium selenite in the culture media. It can be concluded that when sodium selenite was 75 mg·kg -1 in the media, it could not only increase the contents of protein, fat, adenosine and mannitol in synnemata of I. cicadae, but also increase its protein nutritional value.
