Why for feed and not for human consumption? The black soldier fly larvae [PDF]

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, 2020
Abstract With the surge in consumption of insects, the search continues to find ways to increase the popularity of insect‐based products in the Western world. The black soldier fly larvae (BSFL), which is mainly utilized for animal feed, has great potential to provide a sustainable source of nutrients for human food.

Cellular Uptake and Tissue Retention of Microplastics in Black Soldier Fly Larvae. [PDF]

Insects
Microplastic pollution is a pressing global concern, yet its immunotoxicological impacts on invertebrates remain poorly understood. The Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) larva has gained attention for its role in waste management and potential bioremediation, making it essential to evaluate its interactions with microplastics.

Digestibility and safety of dry black soldier fly larvae meal and black soldier fly larvae oil in dogs

Journal of Animal Science, 2021
Abstract Two trials were conducted to assess the acceptance, safety and digestibility of diets containing various inclusion levels of partially defatted black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae (BSFL) meal and BSFL oil by dogs. In trial 1, 5 extruded diets were evaluated for acceptance in adult Beagle dogs (n = 20; 10 male, 10 female)

Insights Into the Immune Response of the Black Soldier Fly Larvae to Bacteria [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
In insects, a complex and effective immune system that can be rapidly activated by a plethora of stimuli has evolved. Although the main cellular and humoral mechanisms and their activation pathways are highly conserved across insects, the timing and the efficacy of triggered immune responses can differ among different species.
