“…However, the price of soybean Values are average from duplicate groups of samples a Diets represent; control (without black soldier fly larval meal inclusion), BSFL25 (25%), BSFL50 (50%), BSFL75 (75%) and BSFL100 (100% fish meal replacement using black soldier fly larval meal) meal and other plant feedstuff has also increased dramatically due to their growing demand for the direct human consumption (FAO 2009). Therefore, attention could be directed towards the locally available and cheaper protein source, which may create flexibility in diet formulations and insect meal has been identified as one such ingredient (Rumpold and Schlüter 2013;Van der Spiegel et al 2013;Van Huis 2013;Lock et al 2015). Black soldier fly was early been recognized as the potential candidate ingredient due to its rich nutritional profile comprised of 40% protein and 35% lipid (Bondari and Sheppard 1987).…”

The present experiment was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of dietary protein from black soldier fly, Hermetia illucens, larval meal (BSFL) to replace fish meal (FM) protein in juvenile barramundi, Lates calcarifer. Larvae of black soldier fly were fed with the underutilised crop, sesbania, Sesbania grandiflora. Five isonitrogenous (44% crude protein) and isocaloric (16.0 kJ available energy/g) experimental diets were formulated to replace FM using processed BSFL meal at 0 (control), 25% (BSFL25), 50% (BSFL50), 75% (BSFL75) and 100% (BSFL100). Data for proximate and amino acid analysis suggested BSFL meal as an inferior protein ingredient than FM, but parallel to soybean meal. At the end of 8 weeks of fish feeding trial, there were no significant differences in the average weight gain (WG) and specific growth rate among the group of fish-fed control, BSFL25 and BSFL50 diets (P \ 0.05). Although numerical differences were recorded in the fish whole-body proximate composition, crude protein and moisture content were not much affected by the different dietary treatments. Essential amino acids including arginine, histidine, lysine and methionine were found to be higher in the whole body of fish-fed BSFL100 diet. Broken line regression analysis of average WG showed an optimum FM replacement level of 28.4% with BSFL meal. Therefore, the present experiment clearly demonstrates that the maximal dietary inclusion level of BSFL meal as FM protein replacer for the optimum growth of juvenile barramundi reared in freshwater could be greater than 28.4% but less than 50%, without any adverse effects on the fish whole-body proximate and amino acid composition.

“…A large fraction of particles <500 µm was determined for samples exhibiting low mechanical hardness such as freeze-dried and defatted larvae. Significant differences in macro-nutrient composition of the sieving fractions were found deviating in chitin (3.6-16.1%db), omnivorous diet, low substrate, water and space requirements highlight the potential of edible insects to contribute to global food security either via feed or directly as food [9]. However, mass rearing of insects together with industrial processing concepts for the recovery of valuable insect fractions will be a prerequisite for an efficient use in the feed and food value chain.…”

protein (52.5-58.2%db) and fat (21.4-26.6%db) content. Highest protein recovery of max 72% was determined in the particle size fraction 500-1000 µm. Concluding, these results provide insights into physico-chemical characteristics of mealworms affected by pre-treatment and drying. The potential of dry fractionation techniques for protein enrichment and delivery of a variety of differently composed mealworm fractions was demonstrated and may provide an interesting potential to optimize water and energy consumption during insect fractionation.

“…The FAO reports that 2 billion people on the earth eat insects on a regular basis . Insects are high in nutritional value with regard to protein, fat, amino acids, and micronutrients (DeFoliart, 1992;Rumpold and Schlüter, 2013;Van Huis et al, 2013). The exoskeletons of many insects also contain chitin, a polysaccharide which shows promise for medical (Lee et al, 2008) and industrial applications (Newton et al, 2005).…”
