Your guide to sustainable black soldier fly farming
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have garnered significant attention in recent years due to their potent ability to combat a wide variety of pathogenic microorganisms.
These short chains of amino acids play a crucial role in the innate immune response, acting as the first line of defense against harmful bacteria, fungi, and viruses.
As the threat of multidrug-resistant organisms rises globally, the search for alternative therapeutic agents has intensified. Continue reading
Hermetia Illucens, commonly known as the black soldier fly, has garnered attention in various scientific fields, particularly in waste management, animal feed, and now, in antimicrobial research.
Recent studies have revealed that the larvae of Hermetia Illucens possess a range of antimicrobial properties, making them a promising candidate in the battle against multidrug-resistant bacteria.
With the rise of superbugs, such as Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), alternative solutions like antimicrobial peptides from insects are becoming critical in the development of novel therapeutic agents. Continue reading
Antibacterial Activity has become a focal point in combating drug-resistant bacteria, especially as the world faces challenges with antibiotic resistance.
One surprising source of antibacterial compounds is the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae.
These larvae, typically known for their waste decomposition abilities, have also shown significant potential in producing antimicrobial substances. Continue reading
When we think about tocopherols, most of us associate them with vegetable oils, nuts, and seeds.
But did you know that these powerful antioxidants are also present in the fat extracted from the larvae of Hermetia illucens, better known as the black soldier fly? Continue reading
