abstract={<i>Tribolium castaneum</i> is one of the most destructive insects infesting cereals and their products worldwide. The quality changes of wheat flour infested by initial 0 (as a control), 2, 4, 6, and 8 adults of <i>T. castaneum</i> in 500 g wheat flour were investigated at 15, 25, and 30¡ãC after different storage periods. The quality of wheat flour changed little during 150 d storage at 15¡ãC, but it significantly decreased with increasing initial insect density and storage time during 150 d storage at 25 and 30¡ãC. The moisture content, fatty acid value, falling number, and protein content of wheat flour were 12.21¡À0.19%, 190.08¡À3.51 mg KOH (100 g)<SUP>-1</SUP>, 208.67¡À7.23 s, and 14.25¡À0.02% after 30 d storage at 30¡ãC, respectively. The wet gluten content and dry gluten content of wheat flour could not be detected after 90 d storage at 25 and 30¡ãC. These results provide useful information for maintaining wheat flour quality.},
