Composition analysis and research development of northern forest ants

Abstract

The compositions of two kinds of ants (Formica cunicu Laria andPolyrhachis vicina Roger) were determined with modern apparatuses. The result was that content of crude protein, fat, vitamin E, formic acid were 43.95%, 22.90%, 15.61 mg/Kg, 4.2% respectively forFormica cunicu Laria, and 42.56%, 21.90%, 131.2 mg/Kg, 3.8% respectively forPolyrhachis vicina Roger.
