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.

Potential protein and biodiesel sources from black soldier fly larvae: Insights of larval harvesting instar and fermented feeding medium

TL;DR: In this paper, a modification on CEW with mixed-bacteria powder was carried out to improve the FAME yield from the self-harvesting nature of black soldier fly larvae (BSFL).

A two-step acid-catalyzed process for the production of biodiesel from rice bran oil.

TL;DR: A study was undertaken to examine the effect of temperature, moisture and storage time on the accumulation of free fatty acid in the rice bran and found that most triacylglyceride was hydrolyzed andFree fatty acid (FFA) content was raised up to 76% in six months.

LCA of soybean meal

TL;DR: The study clearly shows that consequential LCAs are quite easy to handle, even though it has been necessary to include production of palm oil, rapeseed and spring barley, as these production systems are affected by the soybean oil co-product.

Blending effects of biodiesels on oxidation stability and low temperature flow properties

TL;DR: If the compositions of the blended biodiesels are determined, it is possible to predict their oxidation stability and CFPP and to determine the blending ratios of biodiesel mixture having the specified properties.

Anaerobic treatment of apple waste with swine manure for biogas production: Batch and continuous operation

TL;DR: In this article, the performance of anaerobic digesters using a mixture of apple waste (AW) and swine manure (SM) was evaluated using both batch and continuous digesters.

Bioconversion of dairy manure by black soldier fly (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) for biodiesel and sugar production.

TL;DR: The black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) are considered as a new biotechnology to convert dairy manure into biodiesel and sugar and the residual dry BSFL after grease extraction can be used as protein feedstuff.
