Microbiological safety throughout the production chain of the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) KU Leuven
The expanding global population and associated rising demand for animal proteins require additional production of sustainable protein sources. Mass production of insects as food and feed could be part of the solution, with the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens, BSF) considered as most promising insect species for feed production. BSF larvae efficiently convert organic waste streams into their own high-value biomass, contributing to the ...
