“…According to the American Heart Association ( https://www.heart.org ), the ideal ratio of SFA/(MUFA + PUFA) in a fat source should be around 0.5 in order to be considered beneficial for human health ( Hayes 2002 ). Moreover, there is evidence of the protective role of unsaturated fatty acids intakes against obesity and coronary heart diseases ( Reis 2014 , Tan 2014 , Vannice and Rasmussen 2014 , Shatha and Peter 2017 ). So, even if the percentage of unsaturated fatty acids in the larvae can be slightly modulated by modifying the diet composition ( Ewald et al 2020 ), H. illucens seems nutritionally of scarce interest as human food.…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate five agro-industrial byproducts (apricots, brewer’s spent grains, brewer’s spent yeast, feed mill byproducts including broken cereal grains, and hatchery waste including eggshell debris, fluff, infertile eggs, dead embryos, and egg fluids) or mixtures thereof as food diets of Ephestia kuehniella (Zeller), Tenebrio molitor (L.), and Hermetia illucens (L.). Eleven out of 26 tested combinations allowed the first instar larvae to reach the adult stage. Results showed that bioconversion parameters and biomass composition can vary depending on the diet composition, especially in the case of E. kuehniella and H. illucens, whose nutritional requirements seem more complex than those of T. molitor. Tenebrio molitor was able to develop in almost all byproducts. However, only when T. molitor was fed with suitable mixtures of byproducts the development parameters were similar to those obtained with the standard diet. The best results in terms of bioconversion parameters were obtained by feeding H. illucens with a diet including dried brewer’s spent grain, feed mill byproducts and brewer’s spent yeast. The larvae of these three species can be considered interesting from a nutritional point of view, because of their high protein and fat content. However, the fatty acids profile of H. illucens larvae, with high proportions of saturated fatty acids, seems less healthy for human consumption compared with those of E. kuehniella and T. molitor.
