What is the actual content of the frass (poop/dust) produced by bamboo borer insects?

The bamboo borer beetle, Dinoderus minutus, produces a fine dust when it eats through a piece of bamboo. What would this dust contain? I imagine some is undigested bamboo flesh, but what are the other things?

Thanks for your time.
