Enzymatic Fractionation of Protein, Fat and Chitin from <i>Hermetia illucens </i>(L.) (Diptera: Stratiomyidae)

Enzymatic Fractionation of Protein, Fat and Chitin from <i>Hermetia illucens </i>(L.) (Diptera: Stratiomyidae)

Insects have the ability to convert biowaste into valuable functional compounds, such as proteins, fat and chitin. Currently, unlike with conventional commodities, there are few fractionation methods to isolate these compounds for diversification of use. Enzymatic hydrolysis is a possible method to...
