The effects of essential oil on growth and some biochemical parameters of Galleria mellonella l. (Lepidoptera: pyralidae)

In this study eucalyptus tree obtained from the leaves and lemon of the extrat, Galleria mellonella L. (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) larvae in protein, carbohydrate and lipid effects were investigated. Eucalyptus oil; 0.312, 0.625 and 1.250 ml/100g and lemon oil; 0.00, 0.625, 1.25, 2.5, ml/20 g amounts of food containing nutrients fed the synthesis of individual protein per capita G. mellonella larvae, lipid and carbohydrate content was measured. The developmental effects on the G .mellonella lambs of eucalptus and lemon oils were examined. 24th, 48th and 72nd hours after, ıt was seen as a development- reducing effect. The addition of nutrients eucalyptus oil in different proportions, insect expression that is reduced significantly compared to control protein, lipid and carbohydrate amount. This reduction 60% of the amount of protein , 62% of the amount of lipid and carbohydrate content of 43% was realized. The addition of different proportions of lemon oil to the feed increases the protein concentration of the G. mellonella to a concentration of 0.625 ml/100g of lemon oil, but decreased in the other concentrations.
