Production of lipids by Oleaginous Microalgae and Thraustochytrids
The main objective has been the production of lipids using oleaginous microorganisms (microalgae and thraustochytrids) as biological conversion tools of sugar streams. To maximize the sugar to lipid conversion the growth conditions for each species were optimized using commercial glucose as the carbon source. Specifically, the growth of two microalgal strains (Auxenochlorella protothecoides (AP) and…
How are Black Soldier Fly Larvae responding to the inclusion of glucose to the feed?
The objective of this pilot trial was to determine the tolerance level of pure glucose in feed for Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL). The results from the tolerance test will provide information on how large the glucose fraction can be when mixing cellulose from lignocellulosic biomass with municipal solid waste. The trial ran for 5…
Potential of using Black Soldier Fly Larvae to convert waste biomass to lipids
This study aimed to investigate the potential of using Hermetia illucens (L.) commonly called as Black Soldier fly larvae (BSFL) to upcycle organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) into lipids, protein, and chitin. BSFL have a naturally diverse diet and can decompose biological material and rather low-value waste streams into highly concentrated protein meal…
Jane Lind Sam COO from ENORM Biofactory on the potential of Black Soldier Fly Larvae
Jane Lind Sam, COO ENORM Biofactory A/S. You are the Co-founder of ENORM Biofactory A/S in Denmark, a company that is producing sustainable feed protein. In our project you are involved in the lipid production by black soldier fly larvae. So, let me ask you: “When was the first time you saw the potential of…
Dr. Tanmay Chaturvedi from team AAU on the topic “Lipid production by black soldier fly larvae.”
Dr. Tanmay Chaturvedi from Aalborg University presenting FLEXI-GREEN FUELS results at the EUBCE conference in Bologna, Italy. You and your team are working on the “Lipid production from black soldier fly larvae (BSFL)” in the FLEXI-GREEN FUELS project. In 2018, we had two Masters students investigate different feeds and develop process models for lipid extraction…
