The Effect of Feeding With Pumpkin Seed Membrane on Survival, Development and Longevity in Model Organism

Abstract

Most wastes generated during food production in the world are released to nature. However, the target and non-target species take these wastes into their organisms through nutrition although their bioavailability is unknown. In this study, the aim was to determine the bioavailability of wasted pumpkin seed membrane (PSM) for species in nature through its effects on the Drosophila obesity model along with the increased fat intake. For this purpose, either fat (20%) and PSM (0-2 g) were added to the Drosophila melanogaster diet. Survival-development, sex ratio, and adult lifespan were evaluated. As a result, the survival rate decreased and development time increased in insects depending on the amount of PSM added to the food. In the study, fed with PSM and fat intake negatively affected the insect in terms of survival-development and lifespan.
