Flies cohabit with humans, particularly in areas with poor sanitation, producing health problems. Flies serve as vectors for spreading a variety of harmful bacteria, either directly or through food. This research aims to use an ex post facto approach to determine the amount of diversity and distribution patterns of flies in Gampong Jawa, Banda Aceh City, Indonesia. Furthermore, this study can be used as a reference for the sorts of diseases distributed in the community and a factor in fly population control models for the prevention of infectious diseases in the area. The parameters chosen were the diversity index and the fly distribution pattern. Based on the results obtained, the diversity index tended to be low. The moderate diversity index was reached only in clusters 2 (1.02) and 3 (1.08) in the first-day morning, cluster 2 (1.2) in the second-day morning, cluster 3 (1.18) in the morning, and cluster 4 (1.01) in the afternoon of the third-day observation. In terms of distribution pattern parameters, the results obtained for uniform and clumped distribution patterns are the same when seen from the four clusters observed. According to the findings of this study, the fly diversity index in Gampong Jawa is still low, and the distribution pattern is homogeneous and clumped. As a result, to avoid pathogen transmission, a fly control model must be developed.

“…In mammals, fatty acid synthase mainly produces C16 fatty acids, whereas insect fatty acid products are evenly distributed in carbon chain lengths, reaching C18 [ 60 ]. Large amounts of C18 fatty acids, such as stearic acid (C18:0), oleic acid (C18:1), linoleic acid (C18:2), and linolenic acid (C18:3), have been identified in many insects, including crickets, grasshoppers, mealworms, and houseflies [ 61 , 62 , 63 ]. H. illucens larvae contain a large amount of lauric acid (C12:0), palmitic acid (C16:0), and oleic acid.…”

Acyl carrier protein (ACP) is an acyl carrier in fatty acid synthesis and is an important cofactor of fatty acid synthetase. Little is known about ACP in insects and how this protein may modulate the composition and storage of fatty acids. We used an RNAi-assisted strategy to study the potential function of ACP in Hermetia illucens (Diptera: Stratiomyidae). We identified a HiACP gene with a cDNA length of 501 bp and a classical conserved region of DSLD. This gene was highly expressed in the egg and late larval instars and was most abundant in the midgut and fat bodies of larvae. Injection of dsACP significantly inhibited the expression level of HiACP and further regulated the fatty acid synthesis in treated H. illucens larvae. The composition of saturated fatty acids was reduced, and the percentage of unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs) was increased. After interfering with HiACP, the cumulative mortality of H. illucens increased to 68.00% (p < 0.05). H. illucens growth was greatly influenced. The development duration increased to 5.5 days, the average final body weights of larvae and pupae were decreased by 44.85 mg and 14.59 mg, respectively, and the average body lengths of larvae and pupae were significantly shortened by 3.09 mm and 3.82 mm, respectively. The adult eclosion rate and the oviposition of adult females were also severely influenced. These results demonstrated that HiACP regulates fatty acid content and influences multiple biological processes of H. illucens.

“…Among these species, H. illucens, also known as black soldier fly (BSF), has both the highest and the lowest lipid content reaching 40.7 ± 1.9% on a dry matter basis for larval biomass reared on fruit waste and only 8.1 ± 0.9% in the case of larvae reared on brown algae [46]. T. molitor showed the second-highest lipid yield (31.97 ± 1.60%/DW) while the lipid content of the other species ranges from 15.31% of A. domesticus to 26.25% of A. diaperinus [47][48][49][50][51]. The wide range of lipid content of BSF larvae (BSFL) could be easily explained by the ethology of this stage, where they can feed on several organic substrates with different compositions which influences the final larval composition.…”

“…Tzompa-Sosa et al [57] compared three extraction procedures: the Folch method, aqueous extraction, and the Soxhlet method. The aim of Tzompa-Sosa and colleagues was to evaluate the lipid yield from different insect species of economic interest, that in Europe are allowed to be reared for feed production for aquaculture, poultry, and pig farming: H. illucens, T. molitor, M. domestica, A. domesticus, A. diaperinus, G. sigillatus, and G. assimilis [47,50,51,[57][58][59][60][61]. Besides the conventional fat extraction methods (Folch and Soxhlet extractions), the authors used the aqueous extraction described by Yi et al [62].…”

Insects, the most varied group of known organisms on Earth, are arousing great interest also for the possibility to use them as a feed and food source. The mass rearing of some species, defined as “bioconverters”, is spreading worldwide, thanks to their sustainability. At the end of the bioconversion process, breeders obtain eco-friendly biomolecules of high biological and economic value, including proteins and lipids, from larvae of bioconverter insects, in particular Hermetia illucens. Besides the most classical use of insect lipids as food additives, they are also used in the formulation of several products for personal care. The composition of insect lipids depends on the substrate on which the insects are reared but also on the insect species, so the cosmetic producers should consider these features to choose their insect starting point. The most abundant fatty acids detected in H. illucens are lauric, myristic, palmitic, and oleic acids, regardless of feed substrate; its fatty acids composition is favorable for soap composition, while their derivatives are used for detergent and shampoo. Here, we offer an overview of insect lipids, their extraction methods, and their application in cosmetics and personal care products.
