How can bioreactors transform black soldier fly production into a more consistent and sustainable protein source?
In this episode of nutrInsights by nutriNews International, Alvaro Guzman speaks with Ari Riihimaa, PhD, founder of Entoprot Ltd and specialist in insect bioprocessing technologies.
Together they explore how bioreactor-assisted black soldier fly production can improve:
Feed consistency and quality
Nutritional value of insect protein
Sustainability and circular economy
Production efficiency
Bioactive compound generation
Bioreactors allow producers to monitor and control insect production in real time, helping ensure homogeneous batches and stable nutritional profiles — one of the key challenges in insect-based feeds.
The discussion also covers:
✔ Fermentation-based substrate preparation ✔ Nutritional comparison with soybean meal and fishmeal ✔ Antimicrobial peptides and bioactive compounds ✔ Fatty acid profiles and lauric acid ✔ Sustainability benefits ✔ Future insect biorefineries
Black soldier fly production is rapidly evolving — and bioreactors may be the key to scaling it efficiently and sustainably.
