Review of Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) as Animal Feed and Human Food (2017, background): “Note that the already-established-as-edible crickets are relatively high in desirable polyunsaturated fats [95,98], although the exact fatty acid profiles of crickets can also be altered by changing the oils in their diet [99,100].”
Partial or total replacement of soybean oil by black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens L.) fat in broiler diets: effect on growth performances, feed-choice, blood traits, carcass characteristics and meat quality (2017, background): “These findings were in accordance with the fatty acid profile of BSLF recently presented by Surendra et al. (2016).”
The environmental sustainability of insects as food and feed. A review (2017, background): “Furthermore, the black soldier fly can be used to produce biodiesel and biofuel (Zheng et al. 2012; Li et al. 2015; Surendra et al. 2016).”
Nutritional value of the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens L.) and its suitability as animal feed – a review (2017, background): “…have been found to contain 58- 72% saturated fatty acids and 19-40% mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids of total fat content (Kroeckel et al., 2012; Li et al., 2011c; Makkar et al., 2014; Surendra et al., 2016), containing high levels of lauric, palmitic and oleic acid (Surendra et al., 2016).”
Effects of feedstock on larval development and process efficiency in waste treatment with black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) (2019, background): “This makes BSFL of particular interest for use as a protein and fat source in animal feed (Wang and Shelomi, 2017) and for the production of biodiesel (Surendra et al., 2016).”
