• Technical handbook of domestication and production of Diptera Black Soldier Fly (BSF), Hermetia illucens, Stratiomyidae (2014, background): “Other enzymes such as leucine arylamidase, α-galactosidase, β-galactosidase and α-mannosidase, not present or poorly active in domestic fly Musca domestica, are strongly effective in BSF larvae (Kim et al., 2011).”
• Review of Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) as Animal Feed and Human Food (2017, background): “The diversity of substrates they can process and the efficiency with which they do so may be the highest among the flies [57].”
• Bioconversion of Rice straw waste by black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens L.) : Optimal feed rate for biomass production (2016, background): “This strategy come with the cost of self-maintenance [16, 21] like reduced immune function [8], shorter life span [33], poor performance [34], and possible low offspring quality which could hinder sustainability for larva production.”
• Larvae Mediated Valorization of Industrial, Agriculture and Food Wastes: Biorefinery Concept through Bioconversion, Processes, Procedures, and Products (2020, background): “75 U/g, which is the highest when compared to other endogenous enzymes such as the α-amylase, protease and trypsin-like protease present in the gut of BSF [56].”
• Bioconversion efficiencies, greenhouse gas and ammonia emissions during black soldier fly rearing – A mass balance approach (2020, background): “In addition, it is known that BSFL produce amylases to digest starch (Kim et al., 2011).”
