“…DHT22 Sensor work is explained in [24]. According to [25] the perfect temperature and humidity to trigger the Black Soldier Fly breeding activity are 2 C for temperature and 60% humidity level. Each time the humidity is getting lower than 60%, system will send a signal to the water pump to run for five minutes.…”

“…The sensor will work as the light intensity is getting lower caused by cloudy or rainy weather. The light intensity required to trigger the breeding activity for the Black Soldier Fly mostly in daylight intensity [25] which is around 6000 lux to 10000 lux. If the light intensity data collected by the BH1750 sensor is getting lower than 6000 lux, the system will send a signal to the output device BSF Light to turn on until the light intensity from the outside more than 6000 lux for the Black Soldier Fly to continue or start breeding until the next five minutes or next data collection.…”

Trash has been one of the main problems in human life. It can bring global warming and spreads toxic pollutants when burnt. Since unfiltered trash is harder to utilise, it is better to filter trash in order to help the action of recycling and reusing. Related to organic trash, black soldier fly is one of the decomposers that also brings value in the form of high protein and lipid on their larva stage. This research represents the goal to create optimization tools to increase the breed product of the Black Soldier Fly around 10 to 30 percent of the egg produce by using IoT concept and utilising Arduino board, DHT22 sensor to read temperature and humidity and BH1750 sensor to read light intensity with common output devices such as warm bulb and mini fan to control temperature, water pump to control the humidity, and spotlights to control light intensity. Validations and constraints were put in the Arduino to control both the sensor and the output devices to work together and stabilize the environment. Each day eggs will be taken and weighted from controlled cage and non-controlled cage. The more stable environment make the Black Soldier Fly produces more eggs.

“…Newly emerged adults were housed in a cage 80 L × 80 W × 180 H cm (BugDorm,Taiwan) in a climatic chamber at 27° ± 1 °C, 70 ± 10% RH. Following Heussler et al ( 2019 ), a photoperiod of 16L:8D cycle was set using 3 m of Inspire Ledflexi Strip Lights (Adeos Service, France) 26 W, 4000 K, 400 lumen/m. To attract fertilized females and stimulate them to oviposit preferentially in easily recoverable oviposition sites, two plastic cups were nested together with a small amount of moistened Gainesville diet inoculated with a handful of 3–4-day-old larvae in order to prevent mold growth, sandwiched between the bottoms of the two cups (Booth and Sheppard 1984 ; Sheppard et al 2002 ).…”

The treatment of municipal wastewater produces clean water and sewage sludge (MSS), the management of which has become a serious problem in Europe. The typical destination of MSS is to spread it on land, but the presence of heavy metals and pollutants raises environmental and health concerns. Bioconversion mediated by larvae of black soldier fly (BSFL) Hermetia illucens (Diptera, Stratiomyidae: Hermetiinae) may be a strategy for managing MSS. The process adds value by generating larvae which contain proteins and lipids that are suitable for feed and/or for industrial or energy applications, and a residue as soil conditioner. MSS from the treatment plant of Ladispoli (Rome province) was mixed with an artificial fly diet at 50% and 75% (fresh weight basis) to feed BSFL. Larval performance, substrate reduction, and the concentrations of 12 metals in the initial and residual substrates and in larval bodies at the end of the experiments were assessed. Larval survival (> 96%) was not affected. Larval weight, larval development, larval protein and lipid content, and waste reduction increased in proportion the increase of the co-substrate (fly diet). The concentration of most of the 12 elements in the residue was reduced and, in the cases of Cu and Zn, the quantities dropped under the Italian national maximum permissible content for fertilizers. The content of metals in mature larvae did not exceed the maximum allowed concentration in raw material for feed for the European Directive. This study contributes to highlight the potential of BSF for MSS recovery and its valorization. The proportion of fly diet in the mixture influenced the process, and the one with the highest co-substrate percentage performed best. Future research using other wastes or by-products as co-substrate of MSS should be explored to determine their suitability.

“…The presence of these mo's could rapidly hydrolyze the carbohydrates in the feed substrate, making it available for BSFL [144]. Several other new ideas, perspectives and patents [145][146][147][148] focusing on the optimization of BSF breeding have been communicated attesting the growing interest in industrial-scale BSF rearing.…”

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.
