A Multidisciplinary Approach for the Development of a Supply Chain in Biomass Conversion of Agrifood Waste Mediated by Larvae of Hermetia illucens L.: From Rearing to By-Product Exploitation

Agriculture
Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) can convert various organic substrates into high added-value biomass. In addition, the residue can be used as a soil conditioner.

High intraspecific variability and previous experience affect polyphenol metabolism in polyphagous Lymantria mathura caterpillars

Ecology and Evolution
Polyphagous insect herbivores feed on multiple host‐plant species and face a highly variable chemical landscape. Comparative studies of polyphagous herbivore metabolism across a range of plants is an ideal approach for exploring how intra‐ and ...

Optimizing Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) production: effects of substrate variation on biomass, nutritional quality, hatchability, fecundity, and frass quality

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
IntroductionInsects such as the Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens, BSF) are increasingly recognized for their potential to convert organic waste into high-quality protein and fertilizer inputs, contributing to circular bioeconomy models.

Boosting Insect Meal Application in Food by Bioprocessing with Yeasts

Chemical Engineering Transactions
The growing global demand for protein-rich foods requires sustainable alternatives to the conventional animal-based protein systems. In this sense, insect-based proteins, especially from Tenebrio molitor, present a promising nutrient-rich solution with a

The impact of insects larvae frass on soil fertility and plant production

There is a need for alternatives or complements to synthetic fertilizers to enhance agricultural sustainability. Applying organic amendments can play a significant role in this. Insect droppings show high potential, though studies evaluating their agronomic value have only recently begun to emerge.
