The black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) is attracting increasing interest for its ability to convert low-value substrates into highly nutritious feed. This study aimed at evaluating grape pomace from two varieties (Becuet - B; Moscato M) as rearing larvae (BSFL), focusing on the related effects larval growth performance, proximate composition, and fatty acid profile. A total of six replicates per treatment, 1 000 BSFL replica, were used. Larval development was assessed by weight, which recorded eight times during trial: day after beginning trial, then days 5, 8, 13, 15, 20, 22, 27 (day in 30% reached prepupal stage). Production waste reduction efficiency parameters, namely rate, substrate index, calculated. analysed their composition profile; same analyses conducted (30 replica) that collected end trial 27). rate showed a higher value when reared B (4.4 3.2 mg/day M, respectively; P < 0.01). did not significantly affect BSFL. percentage lipids (TL) M-fed than ones. Total saturated (P 0.001) monounsaturated acids 0.05) BSFL, while an opposite trend observed branched-chain polyunsaturated 0.001). Interestingly, some conjugated linoleic (CLA) isomers [i.e., C18:2 c9t11(+t7c9+t8c10) t9t11] detected low amounts both (total CLA equal 0.085 0.16 g/100 g TL M substrate, respectively). Some (i.e., c9t11, t7c9, t10c12) also found reaching concentration 2.95 0.052 B-fed respectively. demonstrates winery by-products different can lipid biosynthesis potential opens newsworthy perspectives new valorisation produce full-fat meal oil enriched specific health-promoting interest.

In this review, the potential role of grape pomace (GP) as a tool for improving feed has been critically summarized, considering findings literature last five years (2020-2024). The main applications GP to nutrition different animals and impact on derived foods (meat, milk dairy products, eggs, fish) are discussed along with major advantages limits. Emphasis was placed phenols fatty acids GP, which considered phytochemicals health-promoting effects. Phenolic compounds increase antioxidant animal-based even if their content profile strongly related cultivar geographical origin. Unsaturated acids, including linoleic oleic contributed extending shelf life new products. Few approaches exploited chemometrics tools. Generally, showed promising in fortification, if, most cases, key only used correct percentage within balanced diet an adequate administration time. From multidisciplinary perspective, future research endeavors should prioritize larger sampling, deep phenol fraction characterization, appropriate chemometric approach.
