The oilseed crops Crambe abyssinica and Camelina sativa produce oils rich in erucic acid and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), respectively. After pressing the oil, a seed cake remains as a protein-rich by-product. Edible insects may convert this seed press cake and the defatted seed meal produced from it into insect biomass suitable for anim...

Information regarding black soldier fly (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) adult biology is vital as this is the life stage that produces eggs and thus drives population size. The goal of this study was to determine key biological characteristics of adult black soldier flies as they age in relation to: (1) the thermal preferences (Tsel) of males and females;...

Significant economic, environmental, and social impacts are associated with the avoidable disposal of foods worldwide. Mass-rearing of black soldier fly ( Hermetia illucens ) larvae using organic wastes and food- and agro-industry side products is promising for recycling resources within the food system. One current challenge of this approach is en...

While black soldier fly larvae (BSFL, Hermetia illucens) have the potential to become a renewable, industrial feedstock; lipid extractions are typically performed with hexane. Green solvents, however, are gaining more popularity to replace these harmful solvents such as hexane. In this study, the green solvent 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MeTHF) was ...

Simple Summary In this investigation, we found antimicrobial activity of the extract of Lactobacillus casei –infected Hermetia illucens larvae (HIL) against Salmonella species. The result demonstrates that the extract is a powerful natural antibiotic and preservative. Abstract The expressions of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) in the larvae of the bl...

Black soldier fly frass fertilizer (BSFFF) is increasingly gaining momentum worldwide as organic fertilizer. However, research on its performance on crop production remains largely unknown. Here, we evaluate the comparative performance of BSFFF and commercial organic fertilizer (SAFI) on maize (H513) production. Both fertilizers were applied at the...

The aim of this study was to investigate the differences in the volatile profile of meat from chickens fed with alternative protein diets (such as algae or insect) through two different trials. In Trial 1, broiler chicken at one day of age were randomly allocated to three experimental groups: a basal control diet (C) and two groups in which the soy...

In order to combat environmental and food security concerns associated with the increasing demand for soymeal related to increasing meat consumption, this study determines the chicken meat quality derived when soymeal is substituted for either partially de-fatted Hermetia illucens larval meal or spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) in broiler diets. P...

In order to transition from a linear to a circular economy in the organic waste management sector, more of the elements in waste need to be recycled. Use of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens L.; Diptera: Stratiomyidae) larvae (BSFL) for organic waste treatment has potential to harvest more complex molecules than conventional methods. Many organi...

Simple Summary The use of insect lipids as an alternative ingredient is an emergent topic in animal nutrition due to their antimicrobial activities. The present study evaluated the in vitro antimicrobial activities of two insect fats (black soldier fly ( Hermetia illucens (HI) fat and yellow mealworm ( Tenebrio molitor (TM) fat) and their effect as...
