“…Black Soldier Fly (BSF) has bioenergy potential as a producer of biogas (Bulak et al, 2020) and biodiesel (Sawangkeaw and Ngamprasertsith, 2013). Some insects including the Black Soldier Fly (BSF) have been known to have a high fat content that can be converted into bioenergy (Franco et al, 2021;Longyu Zheng, 2011;Manzano-Agugliaro et al, 2012;Wang et al, 2017). Three major fatty acid groups owned by Black Soldier Fly (BSF) are lauric fatty acids (C12: 0), palmitic fatty acids (C16: 0) and oleic fatty acids (C18: 0) (Nguyen et al, 2018;Sawangkeaw and Ngamprasertsith, 2013).…”

Black Soldier Fly or Hermetia Illucens (BSF) is known for its potential as a biological agent that helps in the process of natural conversion of organic waste. Resulting compost and a large number of BSF colonies, potentially to be use as a non-food raw material in bioenergy production. The Method is BSF conversion experiment by direct transesterification reaction using Lab-scale bioreactor in 100ml three bottle neck flasks, the solution mixture consists of BSF powder, immobilized whole cell biocatalyst, and solvent. The Result is although in appearance the structure of the test mixture solution did not show an oily character, but based on the viscosity and density test, the test solution had density value 0.81 g/cm3 and viscosity value 1,024 mm2 /s which are above the value of the viscosity and density of methanol but still below the value of the viscosity and density of both SNI and EN14214 biodiesel standard, this could be due to insufficient separation or reaction, imperfect condition, and impurities that are still present in biodiesel products. It can be concluded that a transesterification reaction has occurred in this trial, however further analysis and more experiments are required to definitely conclude the changes in biodiesel production.

The feedstocks for biodiesel production are predominantly from edible oils and the high cost of the feedstocks prevents its large scale application. In this study, we evaluated the oil extracted from Boettcherisca peregrine larvae (BPL) grown on solid organic wastes for biodiesel production. The oil contents detected in the BPL converted from swine manure, fermentation residue and the degreased food waste, were 21.7%, 19.5% and 31.1%, respectively. The acid value of the oil is 19.02 mg KOH/g requiring a two-step transesterification process. The optimized process of 12∶1 methanol/oil (mol/mol) with 1.5% H2SO4 reacted at 70°C for 120 min resulted in a 90.8% conversion rate of free fatty acid (FFA) by esterification, and a 92.3% conversion rate of triglycerides into esters by alkaline transesterification. Properties of the BPL oil-based biodiesel are within the specifications of ASTM D6751, suggesting that the solid organic waste-grown BPL could be a feasible non-food feedstock for biodiesel production.
