The effects of earthworm concentration and extraction time on solubility of protein
Advances in Food Science, Sustainable Agriculture, and Agroindustrial Engineering, 2018 Earthworm (Lumbricus rubellus) is known to contain proteins making it suitable for alternative high-protein resources for feed or animal food. Exctraction of proteins from earthworms is not an easy task and it requires multiple steps for purifying the ...

Co-presence of black soldier fly frass, soil-biodegradable mulch films, and earthworms: effects on film biodegradation, ecotoxicity, and microbial community. [PDF]
J Sci Food AgricAbstract Background Soil‐biodegradable mulch films (SBF) are used increasingly to enhance crop yields while addressing soil pollution and disposal issues. Another sustainable practice gaining attention is the use of soil amendments derived from waste, such as insect frass from Hermetia illucens.
