Insect Fat, a Promising Resource for Biodiesel

TLDR
In this article, the authors reviewed the research and developmental progress on insect fat, especially the possibility of insect fat as potential feedstock of biodiesel, and then the residual after extraction can be used as protein feedstuff.
Abstract
Biodiesel is one promising approach to reduce the consumption of petroleum. However, biodiesel economy has been hampered by the production of oilseed plants. Therefore, alternative feedstocks are urgently needed to enable biodiesel production from cheaper materials. Insect recourse which is rated as the most diverse animal group is rich and ubiquitous in the world. Insect could convert organic waste into insect fat which was further extracted as a novel feedstock for biodiesel production, and then the residual after extraction can be used as protein feedstuff. This paper reviewed the research and developmental progress on insect fat, especially the possibility of insect fat as potential feedstock of biodiesel.
