“…SMS of P. eryngii and L. edodes were also successfully used as food sources for larvae of the white-spotted flower chafer Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis (Coleoptera: Cetoniidae), a resource insect known to have important medicinal properties, such as anticancer activity [41]. Cai et al [42] also reported the use of F. velutipes SMS as feed for the black soldier fly Hermetia illucens (Diptera: Stratiomyidae). Although detailed information on the suitability of SMS for H. illucens was not available in this brief study, it provides another example of the potential use of SMS for the rearing of different insects.…”

Spent mushroom substrate is made from the waste remaining after the harvest of mushrooms. Here, we evaluated the potential of five spent edible fungi (Auricularia cornea, Lentinus edodes, Pleurotus eryngii, P. citrinopileatus and P. ostreatus) substrates as feed sources for Tenebrio molitor larvae. Young larvae did not survive on any substrate except the spent L. edodes substrate (36.7%). The survival rates in young larvae were similar among the different diets in which wheat bran or rice bran was replaced with 0, 20, 30, 40, 50, or 60% spent L. edodes substrate. The weights of the surviving larvae were decreased only when 70% of wheat bran and > 40% of rice bran was replaced with spent L. edodes substrate. In addition, the middle-aged larvae fed wheat bran only were significantly larger than those fed diets with 30~60% spent L. edodes substrate in dry feed, but the larvae of all treatments failed to pupate. Whereas the green feed was added in dry feed, there were no significant differences in pupal weight, pupation rate, pupal duration, adult emergence, or deformed adults among the three treatments in middle-aged larvae that were fed on diets containing 0, 30, or 40% spent L. edodes substrate. Collectively, these results suggest that spent L. edodes substrate has considerable potential to be used as a partial replacement (< 40%) of conventional feed for T. molitor, and spent mushroom substrate waste may be recycled as feed material for resource insects.

“…Even straw, being fermented first by fungi, can be tackled by this insect (Gao et al 2019). Spent mushroom substrate, which is available in very large quantities, could therefore be a suitable feed source for many insects (Cai et al 2019). To bio-convert resources high fiber waste such as almond hulls by the black soldier fly, the carbon to nitrogen ratio has to be decreased and this can be done by nitrogen supplementation (Palma et al 2019).…”

Prospects of insects as food and feed

In the last 10 years, the interest to use insects as food and feed has increased exponentially. In tropical zones, insects are a common food item as they are more readily available as food in nature than in other climate zones. However, if we want to promote insects as food and feed, harvesting from nature is not an option and the farming of these animals is required. This can be done in environmentally controlled facilities. Insects are not only nutritionally excellent food; they may also have health benefits. When using organic side streams as substrate, chemical and biological contaminants need to be considered. People in western countries are not used to eating insects, and therefore, strategies to "convince" consumers of their hygienic safety, environmental sustainability, and tastiness are necessary. The insect sector is maturing fast, but still faces many challenges, which can only be met when all stakeholders cooperate closely. Keywords Edible insects. Insects as food and feed.

“…A rough estimate of data collected from the literature suggests that the amount of substrate required to obtain 1000 kg of BSFL might range between Processes 2020, 8, 857 5 of 40 8000 to 20,000 kg depending on the substrate mixture. For example, Cai et al [22] proposed that a 1000 kg diet substrate containing only mushroom root waste yielded 48-53 kg of BSFL. Meanwhile, when the substrate (60% mushroom waste) was supplemented with auxiliary materials 40% bran or 40% kitchen waste to accelerate the bioconversion, the BSFL yield increased to 68-72 and 129-163 kg, respectively.…”

“…Data on frass compositions are rarely reported and the composition of the insect frass changes during composting with other carbon-rich sources. Mushroom root waste with 70% moisture supplemented with auxiliary material bran (40%) and kitchen waste (40%) to accelerate conversion yielded 48-53, 68-72, 129-163 kg of live BSFL and 170, 190, 200 kg of organic fertilizer, respectively [22].

Each year, the food supply chain produces more than 1.3 billion tons of food and agricultural waste, which poses serious environmental problems. The loss of the massive quantity of secondary and primary metabolites retrievable from this resource is a significant concern. What if there is a global solution that caters to the numerous problems arising due to the humongous volume of waste biomass generated in every part of the world? Insects, the tiny creatures that thrive in decaying organic matter, which can concentrate the nutrients present in dilute quantities in a variety of by-products, are an economically viable option. The bioconversion and nutritional upcycling of waste biomass with insects yield high-value products such as protein, lipids, chitin and frass. Insect-derived proteins can replace conventional protein sources in feed formulations. Notably, the ability of the black soldier fly (BSF) or Hermetia illucens to grow on diverse substrates such as agri-food industry side streams and other organic waste proves advantageous. However, the data on industrial-scale extraction, fractionation techniques and biorefinery schemes for screening the nutritional potential of BSF are scarce. This review attempts to break down every facet of insect processing and analyze the processing methods of BSF, and the functional properties of nutrients obtained thereof.
