Globally, the yearly disposal of 1.3 billion tonnes of food raises environmental and public health concerns. Black soldier fly (BSF) larvae present a sustainable solution, converting organic waste into nutrient-rich biomass. The extracted oil from BSF larvae, rich in fatty acids (FA), offers an eco-friendly alternative for the cosmetic industry. In this study, larvae sourced from a Portuguese company were fed o...
Protetores solares são cosméticos amplamente usados atualmente, visto que a população tem se conscientizado cada vez mais dos danos que a radiação ultravioleta causa na pele, como envelhecimento precoce e câncer de pele. Porém os filtros solares podem ser tóxicos ao organismo quando penetram na pele. Para que sejam eficazes, os filtros solares precisam se depositar nas camadas mais externas do estrato córneo, p...
There is an increasingly growing demand for the use of natural and sustainable bioactives in the field of the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. The biomass from black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens) can be viewed as an innovative source of compounds with high aggregate value and marketing potential due to the sustainable organic matter bioconversion process used as substrate for its development. Th...
