Recovery and recovery of organic waste for the production of flour of Hermetia illucens
Recovery and recovery of organic waste for the production of flour of Hermetia illucens
The sustainability of insect farming for the production of protein flours and new products must also consider the use of substrates in a circular economy perspective. In this context, research lines are underway to evaluate the use of by-products of the agri-food industry as basic components in Tenebrio molitor livestock diets. The results of the production performance obtained and the application criticalities are discussed.

The applied circular economy: experience with the soldier fly (Gnadochaeta illucens)
The use of insects as a possible solution to reduce food waste is an excellent example of the Circular Economy. Indeed, the larvae of some species can be used to better manage and enhance organic food waste, bioconverting the waste biomass on which they grow and producing proteins and lipids that can be used for food in the livestock sector. The soldier fly (Gnadochaeta illucens) (BSF), given the high sustainability, low water requirements and minimal greenhouse gas emissions, it has been studied for its ability to reduce large quantities of organic waste.
After an overview I will describe the potential of BSF larvae as bioconverters, the presentation will show the main research areas of the Department of Agricultural Sciences, Forestry and Food of the University of Turin and in recent years, in collaboration with the Department of Veterinary Sciences and the CNR, he has dealt with both the breeding of insects on different substrates and the use of products deriving from insects (protein flours, fat) in animal nutrition.
