A Protein-Based Material from a New Approach Using Whole Defatted Larvae, and Its Interaction with MoistureNazanin Alipour, Björn Vinnerås, Fabrice Gouanvé, Eliane Espuche and Mikael S. Hedenqvist Ett proteinbaserat material från hela avfettade larver från Amerikansk Vapenfluga presenteras. Efter att larvfetterna avlägsnats och en plasticizer tillsats kunde materialet kompressionsgjutas till plattor/fim. Fettet som var rikt… Continue reading Ny publication: Polymers 2019, 11, 287; doi:10.3390/polym11020287

A Protein-Based Material from a New Approach Using Whole Defatted Larvae, and Its Interaction with MoistureNazanin Alipour, Björn Vinnerås, Fabrice Gouanvé, Eliane Espuche and Mikael S. Hedenqvist A protein-based material created from a new approach using whole defatted larvae of the Black Soldier fly is presented. After removing the larva lipid and adding a plasticizer,… Continue reading New Publication Polymers 2019, 11, 287; doi:10.3390/polym11020287

Insects fed on waste as fish feed
As part of the result of the Vinnova financed project Five tonnes of fishes in different dishes that aims at producing fish reared exclusively on Swedish produced feed, fish reared on insect based protein were tested and evaluated against fish reared on conventional fish feed. The protein in the test feed comprised of a 1:1… Continue reading Insects fed on waste as fish feed

Ivã Guidini joins the environmental engineering group
Foto: Viktoria Wiklicky I am a biologist from São Paulo State University (Unesp) and a PhD student from the Unesp Aquaculture Center (Caunesp), where I’m currently studying different handling methods of windrow thermophilic composting using fish carcasses (as nitrogen source) and wood shavings/peanut shells (as carbon sources). My study involves practical information about the composting… Continue reading Ivã Guidini joins the environmental engineering group
Open [Green] House 25th of September
On September 25 at 13:00-16:00 we will have Open [Green] House in our black solider fly research facility at SLU campus Ultuna in Uppsala. We will demonstrate our facility for breeding of BSF flies and our research on different aspects of waste management using the BSF larvae. During the Open [Green] House, the researchers of the Environmental… Continue reading Open [Green] House 25th of September
