There is growing demand to produce both food and renewable energy in a sustainable manner, while avoiding competition between production. In our study, we investigated the potential of harnessing biogas production into nutrient recycling an integrated system organic processing. We used case Agroecological Symbiosis (AES) at Palopuro, which combination three farms, plant, bakery, as explore how using feedstocks from farms can be improve cycling, calculate much could produced within-system...
In recent years, the cellular agriculture concept has been proposed as an option to replace livestock proteins. This study presents a conceptual level techno-economic analysis of four concepts where food is produced by microorganisms based on wheat straw. Three single-cell proteins and one recombinant protein process were conceptualized. The included steam explosion pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis, fermentation, downstream processing. hydrolysis was optimized minimize production costs....
Abstract Background The black soldier fly (Diptera: Stratiomyidae, Hermetia illucens ) is renowned for its bioconversion ability of organic matter, and the worldwide most widely used source insect protein. Despite varying extensively in morphology, it assumed that all flies belong to same species, . We here screened about 600 field-collected cultured from 39 countries six biogeographic regions test this assumption based on data three genes (mitochondrial COI, nuclear ITS2 & 28S rDNA)...
Black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens L., BSF) larvae are a promising alternative for future sustainable nutrient sources both as feed and food. However, the scientific investigation of BSF is still limited, especially on flavor chemistry aspects understanding consumer acceptance. This research examined odor-active compounds protein content larvae. Whole partially defatted meals were compared to an anchovy fish meal. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry gas chromatography/olfactometry...
Water scarcity is a severe global threat, and it will only become more critical with growing wealthier population. Annually, considerable volumes of water are transferred virtually through the food system to secure nations’ supply diversify diets. Our objective assess, whether specializing water-intensive production for exports in areas an abundance natural resources, would contribute globally resource-efficient production. We calculated Finland’s virtual net export potential (four...
Nitrogen (N) from agricultural systems contributes to the eutrophication of waterbodies through leaching. Incorporating organic material with a high carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) ratio, such as mixed pulp mill sludges (PMSs), into soil in autumn could reduce amount leachable N. This study tested potential composted and lime-stabilised PMSs (CPMS LPMS) reducing concentration mineral N soil, thus risk leaching arable land boreal region using two-year field experiment. To better understand...
In Finland, while total agricultural production has remained relatively constant, nutrient input from industrial mineral fertilizers declined over the past 20 years, which been target of environmental policies due to eutrophication risks. From 1996 2014, use nitrogen (N) by 18%, phosphorus (P) 49%, and potassium (K) 49%. However, at same time, international products trade increased dramatically mass (58%), Finland imports food feed products, such as, protein feeds, vegetables, fruits. We...
Abstract Background The black soldier fly (Diptera: Stratiomyidae, Hermetia illucens ) is renowned for bioconversion ability of organic waste, and the worldwide most widely used source insect protein. Despite varying extensively in morphology, it assumed that all flies belong to same species, . We here use genetic data 424 rearing culture wild caught samples from 38 countries six biogeographic regions test this assumption based on three genes (mitochondrial COI, nuclear ITS2 & 28S rDNA)....
Jyväskylän ammattikorkeakoulun Biotalouskampuksella toteutettiin hyönteiskasvatuksen demonstraatioympäristö VinsectS – Hyönteistalous osana Viitasaari-Saarijärvi seutukunnan kiertotaloutta –hankkeessa keväällä 2018. Hankkeessa tutkittiin mustasotilaskärpäsen (Hermetia illucens) ympärivuotisia kasvatusmahdollisuuksia Keski-Suomen olosuhteissa sekä toukkien kykyä hyödyntää erilaisia biomassasivuvirtoja ravinnokseen. Mustasotilaskärpänen on tropiikin hajottaja, jolla nopea elinkierto ja tehokas...
