Mechanical and Enzyme Assisted Fractionation Process for a Sustainable Production of Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) Ingredients

Mechanical and Enzyme Assisted Fractionation Process for a Sustainable Production of Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) Ingredients

This study aimed at effective fractionation of Hermetia illucens into lipid and protein, considering the insects' anatomy. A hybrid approach was developed, separating the exoskeleton by mechanical pressing and fractionating the slurry by sonication and enzymatic treatment. Microscopy showed tha...
