Insects are receiving wide attention as alternative food and feed resources, for the production of useful by-products such chitin, which can be converted into chitosan, a natural antibacterial agent. The larvae Hermetia illucens, commonly known Black Soldier Fly (BSF), reared on organic waste substrates produced large scale. In this study, we focused activity chitosan obtained from BSF. Chitin ...

The interest towards the black soldier fly (BSF), Hermetia illucens, has grown impressively in last few years, fostered by legislative changes European landscape that have lifted ban regarding use of BSF larvae as feedstuff. In addition, bioconversion mediated is viewed one most promising technologies for organic waste processing and valorisation. Finally, new, alternative applications to explo...

T forensic entomological specimens were examined from the Medical Entomology Unit, Institute for Medical Research, hospitals, and the police department, in Malaysia. Three species of cyclorrphagic flies were identified as Chrysomya rufifacies Macquart (the hairy maggot blowfly), C. megacephala Fabricius (the oriental latrine fly) and 1 specimen of Hermetia illucen Linnaeus (the black soldier fl...

Molecular identification and life cycle of the Black Soldier Fly (BSF), Hermetia illucens were carried out from Bangladesh bio-geographical area. The sequencing result phylogenetic analysis BSF showed 99-100% similarity with H. GenBank. average duration male female 45.08±4.46d 46.15± 4.12d respectively. adult is 16.3±0.91mm long, whereas 14.30±0.19 mm long smaller than female. number eggs per c...

This study aimed to explore the efficacy of lipid extraction methods on black solider fly larvae (BSFL) which is a potential sustainable source biodiesel. The raw fat content BSFL in exam was 29.6% dry matter basis, comparable other studies. Both aqueous enzymatic method and Soxhlet are effective at levels around 80%. quality from superior addition merits such as mild, easy fast. Further resear...
