Lipid Extraction of Black Soldier Fly Larva Using Aqueous Enzymatic and Soxhlet Method

This study aimed to explore the efficacy of lipid extraction methods on black solider fly larvae (BSFL) which is a potential sustainable source of biodiesel. The raw fat content of BSFL in exam was 29.6% on dry matter basis, which is comparable to other studies. Both aqueous enzymatic method and Sox...

Description
Summary:This study aimed to explore the efficacy of lipid extraction methods on black solider fly larvae (BSFL) which is a potential sustainable source of biodiesel. The raw fat content of BSFL in exam was 29.6% on dry matter basis, which is comparable to other studies. Both aqueous enzymatic method and Soxhlet method are effective in BSFL lipid extraction at levels around 80%. The lipid quality from aqueous enzymatic method is superior in addition to other merits such as mild, easy and fast. Further research is recommended to scale up its potential as bioenergy alternatives.
