The black soldier fly, Hermetia illucens (L. 1758), is an omnivorous saprophagous insect with a high potential for valorizing organic by-products rich in carbohydrates. Among carbohydrates, H. relies on soluble sugars the growth and storage lipid synthesis. This study aimed to assess impact of common development, survival, fatty acid composition illucens. Monosaccharides disaccharides were individually incorporated into chicken feed diet. Cellulose was used as control. Larvae fed glucose, fructose, sucrose, maltose grew faster than control larvae. In contrast, lactose exhibited anti-nutritional effects larvae, slowing down reducing final individual weight. However, all produced larvae fatter Notably, tested shaped profile. Maltose sucrose increased saturated content compared cellulose. Conversely, bioaccumulation dietary unsaturated acids. first demonstrate effect profile Our findings highlight that carbohydrates have significant fly can thus determine their applications.
