Implementation of Environmental Tasks of Waste-Free Biotechnological Industries Using the Fly Hermetia Illucens Larvae

Biotechnology is a promising area of science that studies the possibilities of using living organisms, systems or products of their vital activity to solve technological problems. The larvae of the fly Hermetia illucens are effectively used for the bioconversion of organic waste, providing a reduction in the load on natural ecosystems and economic feasibility. An increase in the bioconversion of organic substrates using the Hermetia illucens fly contributes to an increase in the amount of insect biomass that requires effective areas of larvae application to solve the problems of creating waste-free circulation. The larvae can be a promising raw material for use in the production of feed. The protein composition of the larvae contains a large amount of amino acids, the composition of which is similar in many ways to fish and soy proteins, due to which in many studies there are good results have achieved when feeding fish and poultry with the larvae. This type of insect also has a good tolerance for mycotoxins, which allows them to thrive on substrates consisting of various wastes. The pathogenic environment has led to the development of the ability to produce antibacterial peptides for protective purposes in the insects, which can be used in medicine and agriculture. The composition of the fat fraction is represented by various fatty acids, such as lauric, oleic, stearic, etc., which makes it possible to consider it as an alternative to industrial cosmetic oils.
