Exploring the Antimicrobial Potential and Stability of Black Soldier Fly Larvae Fat for Enhanced Food Shelf-Life.

The larvae of the Black Soldier Fly (BSF, ) have been introduced as one of the tools to create a circular economy model, which will be used in areas such as waste management and the treatment of industrial by-products to produce high-added-value food grade ingredients. The main aim of this research was to investigate the fat composition and antimicrobial activity against food pathogens and spoilers of Black Soldier Fly larvae. The research revealed that the Black Soldier Fly larvae fats are predominantly lauric fatty (40.
