Decomposition of biowaste macronutrients, microbes, and chemicals in black soldier fly larval treatment: A review

Waste Management, Journal Year: 2018, Volume and Issue: 82, P. 302 - 318

Published: Nov. 8, 2018

Processing of biowaste with larvae the black soldier fly, Hermetia illucens L. (Diptera: Stratiomyidae), is an emerging waste treatment technology. Larvae grown on can be a relevant raw material for animal feed production and therefore provide revenues financially viable management systems. In addition, when produced biowaste, insect-based feeds more sustainable than conventional feeds. Among others, scalability technology will depend availability large amounts high process performance (e.g. bioconversion organic matter to proteins lipids) microbial chemical product safety. Currently, in contrast other technologies, such as composting or anaerobic digestion, variable processes driving decomposition macronutrients, inactivation microbes fate chemicals poorly understood. This review presents first summary most important involved fly (BSFL) treatment, based available knowledge concerning five well-studied species. starting point increase understanding regarding this technology, potential its efficiency uptake, support development appropriate regulations. Based review, formulating different types e.g. produce diet similar protein content, balanced amino acid profile and/or pre- co-treatment beneficial microbes, has performance.

Edible Insects Processing: Traditional and Innovative Technologies

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Journal Year: 2019, Volume and Issue: 18(4), P. 1166 - 1191

Published: June 30, 2019

Abstract Insects are part of the human diet in many parts world. Their nutritional value is widely recognized. Currently, most edible insects harvested from wild, although semi‐domestication and indoor farming have increased insect availability sustainability production. In traditional cultures, processed a number ways (steaming, roasting, smoking, frying, stewing, curing, among others) to improve their sensory qualities as well shelf‐life. order increase consumer interest West, various technologies been developed that aimed primarily at using ingredients non‐recognizable form, such powders or flour. These include drying (sun‐drying, freeze‐drying, oven‐drying, fluidized bed drying, microwave‐drying) new processing methods (ultrasound‐assisted extraction, cold atmospheric pressure plasma, dry fractionation) designed mainly for protein, fat, and/or chitin extraction. Insect‐based sold production cookies, chocolates, tortilla‐style chips, other snacks. This review focuses on production, technologies, commercialization strategies ranging novel sustainable approach improving food security worldwide.

Edible Insects as a Protein Source: A Review of Public Perception, Processing Technology, and Research Trends

Food Science of Animal Resources, Journal Year: 2019, Volume and Issue: 39(4), P. 521 - 540

Published: July 16, 2019

This review summarizes the current trends related to insect as food resources among consumers, industry, and academia. In Western societies, edible insects have a greater potential animal feed than human because of cultural biases associated with harmful insects, although abundant characteristics should benefit health. Nevertheless, many countries in Asia, Oceania, Africa, Latin America utilize major protein source. Using can potentially solve problems conventional food-supply chain, including global water, land, energy deficits. Academic, government-led efforts attempted reduce negative perceptions through developing palatable processing methods, well providing descriptions health benefits explaining necessity reducing reliance on other sources. Our overview reveals that entomophagy is experiencing steady increase worldwide, despite its unfamiliarity consumers influenced by eating habits.

Benefits and food safety concerns associated with consumption of edible insects

NFS Journal, Journal Year: 2019, Volume and Issue: 18, P. 1 - 11

Many types of edible insects in raw and processed forms have been consumed by many cultures globally since time immemorial, particularly developing countries where they are mostly traditionally viewed as a delicacy besides provision nutrition. As food type, two main forms; whole or incorporated various products an ingredient, the choice which is consumer preference driven. Recently, there has lot research interest farming, processing consumption mainly effort to eradicate insecurities prevalent boost Inclusion human diets shown improve nutritional quality foods due their high micro- macronutrient levels comparable sometimes higher than those animal-derived foods. It this regard that can actually be used directly addressing first three UN's Sustainable Development Goals (no poverty, zero hunger, good health well-being). Edible production also helps mitigating negative effects climate change biodiversity both positively contributes security. Even with all these benefits, several challenges encountered promotion farming developed countries.

The Potential Role of Insects as Feed: A Multi-Perspective Review

Animals, Journal Year: 2019, Volume and Issue: 9(4), P. 119 - 119

Published: March 27, 2019

Recently, insects have received increased attention as an important source of sustainable raw materials for animal feed, especially in fish, poultry, and swine. In particular, the most promising species are represented by black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens, HI), yellow mealworm (Tenebrio molitor, TM), common house (Musca domestica, MD). Although rapid development is expected, remain underutilized feed industry mainly due to technical, financial, regulatory barriers. addition, few works analyzed consumer stakeholder points view towards use feed. this article, we summarize main findings body research provide a discussion studies regarding consumption animals fed with insects.
