Potential of Insects as Food and Feed in Assuring Food Security
TL;DR: With a growing world population and increasingly demanding consumers, the production of sufficient protein from livestock, poultry, and fish represents a serious challenge for the future, and the development of costeffective, automated mass-rearing facilities that provide a reliable, stable, and safe product is needed.

Review of Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) as Animal Feed and Human Food
Yu-Shiang Wang,Matan Shelomi +1 more
TL;DR: The literature on the black soldier fly is reviewed, which is capable of efficiently converting a wide variety of organic materials, from food waste to manure, into insect biomass, and which could potentially be milled and converted into a textured protein with a strong flavor.
Journal ArticleDOI
The use of fly larvae for organic waste treatment.
TL;DR: The major obstacles associated with the production of fly larvae from organic waste on an industrial scale seem to be technological aspects of scaling-up the production capacity, insufficient knowledge of fly biology necessary to produce large amounts of eggs, and current legislation.

Nutritional value of the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens L.) and its suitability as animal feed – a review
TL;DR: Although BSF larvae contain high protein levels, and other macro- and micronutrients important for animal feed, available studies suggest that it could only partially replace traditional feedstuff, because high or complete replacement resulted in reduced performance.

Specific consumption of liquid biofuels in gasoline fuelled engines
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of biorenewable oxygenated fuels (ethanol and isoamyl alcohol) and partially renewable fuels (ETBE: ethyl tert-butyl ether, TAEE: tert-amyl ethyl ether and di-TAE: di-tertamyl ether) in mixtures with automotive gasoline, based on tests with Otto cycle engines was evaluated.

Optimization of transesterification conditions for the production of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) from Chinese tallow kernel oil with surfactant-coated lipase
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of reaction temperature, time, dosage of surfactant-coated lipase, ratio of methanol to oil, and water content on the esterification rate of fatty acid methyl esters was investigated.
