“…This species of insect is particularly interesting due to its efficacy in the conversion of organic waste (e.g. cow, pig, and poultry manure, poultry feed, fruit, and vegetable waste) into nutritiously valuable insect protein that might be used as an alternative to expensive protein-rich feed in diet of different animal species (Čengić-Džomba et al 2020). Therefore, BSFL have been used to feed diverse animals, such as swine (Ipema et al 2021), poultry (Ndotono et al 2022, and fish (Goyal et al 2021), and are being investigated as a potential ingredient to be used in pet food (Bosch and Swanson 2021).…”

The use of insects as a sustainable source of animal-based food and in the human diet is increasing. Special attention has been given to black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) because this insect can consume organic waste and convert organic matter into high-quality nutrients that can be used for animal feed. In addition, BSFL rapidly reproduce, can convert large volumes of biomass, can be fed with a variety of organic material, and present a high feed conversion rate. Recent studies have also indicated that BSFL have a lower environmental impact than has livestock production, because they use less water and land mass, although life-cycle assessment analysis is required confirm this. Moreover, this insect is a rich source of protein, lipids, and minerals, and may have beneficial medicinal effects due to the presence of bioactive compounds. However, BSFL as well as any other insect species, present some challenges regarding their low consumer acceptance and limited information related to their food safety. Therefore, this review aims to collect information from the current literature regarding aspects related to rearing conditions and characteristics of BSFL as a sustainable source of nutrients. In addition, it will summarise the nutritional profile, the main bioactive compounds, and the challenges with human consumption of BSFL.

“…The popularity of this insect species for bioconversion stems from its multiple advantages. One of the main advantages of this insect is that the larvae can grow rapidly on an astonishing variety of organic streams, including manure and agri-food waste [3,[13][14][15], allowing for the conversion of organic waste into biomass in the form of protein-rich (40-45%, dry basis) and lipid-rich (35-40%, dry basis) larvae that can be used to generate biofuels and as protein source for livestock and aquaculture feed [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. The advantages of H. illucens for bioconversion of organic waste are in line with the sustainable circular economy policy adopted in many countries around the world [3], although rearing conditions and legislation for the mass use of this insect still needs to be adapted for a successful industrial sector to emerge [9].…”

Bioconversion using insects is a promising strategy to convert organic waste (catering leftovers, harvest waste, food processing byproducts, etc.) into biomass that can be used for multiple applications, turned into high added-value products, and address environmental, societal and economic concerns. Due to its ability to feed on a tremendous variety of organic wastes, the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) has recently emerged as a promising insect for bioconversion of organic wastes on an industrial scale. A growing number of studies have highlighted the pivotal role of the gut microbiota in the performance and health of this insect species. This review aims to provide a critical overview of current knowledge regarding the functional diversity of the gut microbiota of H. illucens, highlighting its importance for bioconversion, food safety and the development of new biotechnological tools. After providing an overview of the different strategies that have been used to outline the microbial communities of H. illucens, we discuss the diversity of these gut microbes and the beneficial services they can provide to their insect host. Emphasis is placed on technical strategies and aspects of host biology that require special attention in the near future of research. We also argue that the singular digestive capabilities and complex gut microbiota of H. illucens make this insect species a valuable model for addressing fundamental questions regarding the interactions that insects have evolved with microorganisms. By proposing new avenues of research, this review aims to stimulate research on the microbiota of a promising insect to address the challenges of bioconversion, but also fundamental questions regarding bacterial symbiosis in insects.

The article focuses on the data from foreign literature on growing rainbow trout or mykiss (Oncorhynchus mykiss) with the inclusion of dried and / or fat-free insect biomass in diets. The following seven types of insects could be recommended for inclusion in the diet of rainbow trout and other fish species: larvae and / or pupae of diptera fly (Hermetia illucens), housefly (Musca domestica), flour worm larva (Tenebrio molitor), locusts and grasshoppers (Acrididae), crickets (Gryllidae) and cathidids (Tettigoniidae), silkworm pupae (Bombyx mori). The brief data on physiology and life cycle of these insects are given, as well as the data on proteins and fatty acids concentration in fresh and dry larvae of insects. It has been shown that the flour from dried insect biomass contains a large amount of amino acids and fatty acids. There has been given the data on the influence of flour from insect larvae on the mass increase of rainbow trout juveniles and adults, digestibility of feed dry matter, organoleptic characteristics of fish fillets, amino acid and fatty acid composition, and other indicators. It has been found out that in most cases the survival rate is significantly higher in the experimental groups of Oncorhynchus mykiss juveniles fed a diet containing insect flour. It has been inferred that including flour from insect biomass in certain proportions has a positive effect on the growth and life of Oncorhynchus mykiss species. The most promising is adding Hermetia illucens larvae flour in the diet of rainbow trout in aquaculture, because Hermetia illucens larvae have the highest biomass yield per unit time compared to other insects.
