Abstract
The black soldier fly has acquired an important role in organic waste valorization due to its ability to transform them into biomass rich in protein and lipids. This biomass is used in animal feed and in the production of biofuels. However, the biomass obtained from the larvae presents a great variability in terms of productive variables (e.g., survival, larval weight, conversion efficiency) and nutritional composition, all derived from the variation in the nutritional and physicochemical composition of the organic waste. As a solution to this variability, physical, biological, and chemical pre-treatment strategies have been proposed to homogenize the waste and improve its use by the larva. This paper presents the current state of research on pre-treatments of organic waste for black soldier fly larva feeding, including the methods used and the effects on different larval productive variables. This review was conducted through an exhaustive search in electronic databases, selecting relevant studies on the topic. The results obtained indicate that pre-treatment of the waste can improve its use by the larva, causing higher weights in the larval stage, survival, and conversion efficiency. However, there is a lack of research on the application of different pre-treatments that are applicable in larger-scale production processes, considering the economic viability.
