Have the environmental benefits of insect farming been overstated? A critical review

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 163-194, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Insect farming is frequently promoted as a sustainable food solution, yet current evidence challenges many environmental benefits claimed by industry proponents. This review critically examines the scientific foundation for assessing the environmental impacts of insect farming in both human food and animal feed applications.

Microwave-assisted extraction of black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) lipid

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021
Abstract Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) contain high lipids considered as a sustainable feedstock for lipid production to biofuels. In this study, microwave-assisted extraction of BSFL was prepared. The response surface methodology was employed to investigate the effects of parameters, namely, microwave power (230 - 290 W), solid ...

Adult black soldier fly meal (imago, Hermetia illucens) as replacement for fish meal in diets for Pacific Whiteleg shrimp (Penaeus vannamei)

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Adult black soldier flies (imagines, Hermetia illucens) are a by‐product of large‐scale insect larvae production. The suitability of this novel sidestream as a protein source in diets for juvenile Whiteleg shrimp (Penaeus vannamei, initial weight 5–6 g) was investigated in controlled feeding experiments in recirculating aquaculture systems ...

Bioactivities of black soldier fly larvae protein hydrolysate

Food Research
One of the potential insects for feed and food sources is the Black Soldier Fly (BSF) (Hermetia illucens). The BSF originated in South America and has now spread to many tropical countries. The BSF larvae (BSFL) had attracted much attention due to their good nutrient content and were recently reported as having useful bioactivities.

Accessing the impact of harvest weights of Tenebrio molitor on amino acid digestibility and metabolizable energy in cecectomized laying hens

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 1, Page 665-674, 15 January 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND The effects of harvest weights on composition, amino acid (AA) digestibility and metabolizable energy (MEN) of Tenebrio molitor (TM) were investigated using cecectomized laying hens. The partially defatted and dried TM variants comprised median individual frass‐free harvest weights of 60, 80, 100, and 120 mg of larvae, and a pupae ...
