Decomposition and humification process of domestic biodegradable waste by black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens L.) larvae from the perspective of dissolved organic matter

Black Soldier Fly Larvae Mitigate Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Domestic Biodegradable Waste through Carbon-Nitrogen Redistribution and Microbial Reconstruction

“…The reduction rate of DBW was calculated using the input and residue mass. Temperature, pH, and moisture were measured as described in our previous report (Tao et al 2023). Total carbon (TC) was determined with a Elementar Vario El cube-type element analyzer (Elementar Vario EL Cube, Elementar, Germany).…”

Insects used as biomass vermi‐conversion carriers for health agriculture

“…Over the years, we have effectively achieved the organic unity of waste recycling and healthy soil through technological innovation and industryuniversity-research cooperation, taking the waste biomass vermicomposting (such as earthworm) and bioconversion (simply called as vermi-conversion) as a technique and health agriculture as an object served. 9,[11][12][13][14][15] To treat the pollution of manure in largescale farms, based on the mechanism of the combinative action of saprophagous insects and intestinal microorganisms, the collaborating research team innovatively designed the housefly larvae (HL) bioconversion and recycling technology of swine manure with a quantity of 5-100 tons/day. During the 3-5 days treatment period, the conversion rate of HL reached 10%-18%, and the reduction rate of swine manure reached 50%-75%.…”

“…Through the integration of modern biological system engineering technology and intelligent equipment, we have developed the intensive-intelligent-efficient BSFL bioconversion technology and engineering solutions. [13][14][15] In combination with the needs for the treatment and recycling of DBW in China's towns and counties, we have also created new 'clean, low-carbon, high-value' black soldier fly farms with regional characteristics in Zhejiang and other provinces that cater to the needs of DBW treatment and recycling. These insect farms not only facilitate the 'transformation' of high value recycling of DBW treatment but also break down the technical barriers for renewable resource products to enter the food production system safely, healthily and sustainably (Figure 3).…”

“…In response to the increasing amount of domestic biodegradable waste (DBW, such as food waste, kitchen waste, fruit and vegetable waste), we have conducted in‐depth studies on the conversion and degradation of DBW by BSFL through a coordinated process involving insects, microbes, and enzymes. Through the integration of modern biological system engineering technology and intelligent equipment, we have developed the intensive‐intelligent‐efficient BSFL bioconversion technology and engineering solutions 13–15 . In combination with the needs for the treatment and recycling of DBW in China's towns and counties, we have also created new ‘clean, low‐carbon, high‐value’ black soldier fly farms with regional characteristics in Zhejiang and other provinces that cater to the needs of DBW treatment and recycling.…”
