Exploring the potential of lipids from black soldier fly: New paradigm for biodiesel production (II)—Extraction kinetics and thermodynamic
Feng Weiliang,Liang Qian,Weiguo Wang,Teilin Wang,Deng Zikui,Fang Yang,Xiong Jing,Cunwen Wang +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated microwave extraction approach to extract lipids from the black soldier larval containing high lipids for biodiesel production and compared the effects of different factors (solvent types, extraction temperature, and solute-solvent ratio) on the kinetics and thermodynamic of lipids extraction from the energy insect.
Journal ArticleDOI
In-situ yeast fermentation to enhance bioconversion of coconut endosperm waste into larval biomass of Hermetia illucens: statistical augmentation of larval lipid content.

TL;DR: The addition of yeast was also found to improve the waste reduction index of coconut endosperm waste (CEW) from 0.31 to 0.40 g/day, heralding the capability of BSFL to valorize organic waste via bioconversion into its biomass to serve as a feedstock for biodiesel production.

Insect Protein as a Partial Replacement for Fishmeal in the Diets of Juvenile Fish and Crustaceans
TL;DR: Research reveals that insects in the form of meal or pellets can provide adequate protein to replace, in part, standard fishmeal in feed for fish that are omnivorous rather than carnivorous (trout, salmon), which could enhance the overall nutrition of omnivory fish for commercial use.

Lipids from Hermetia illucens, an Innovative and Sustainable Source
Antonio Franco,Carmen Scieuzo,Rosanna Salvia,Anna Maria Petrone,Elena Tafi,Antonio Moretta,Eric Schmitt,Patrizia Falabella +7 more
TL;DR: The larvae of Hermetia illucens (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) (also known as Black Soldier Fly) can be used for the eco-sustainable production of proteins and lipids with high biological and economic value as mentioned in this paper.

Biodiesel from microalgae.
TL;DR: As demonstrated here, microalgae appear to be the only source of renewable biodiesel that is capable of meeting the global demand for transport fuels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combustion of fat and vegetable oil derived fuels in diesel engines
TL;DR: In this paper, the status of fat and oil derived diesel fuels with respect to fuel properties, engine performance, and emissions is reviewed, and it is concluded that the price of the feedstock fat or oil is the major factor determining biodiesel price.
