Abstract

The invention relates to a method for controlling hatching of Black soldier fly eggs, comprising the steps of incubating the eggs at a selected temperature for a selected time period; cooling the incubated eggs at a temperature lower than the selected temperature, starting at a selected time point; warming the eggs again at the selected temperature for a further selected period, up till the eggs hatch. Furthermore, the invention relates to a batch of Black soldier fly eggs kept at the temperature at which the eggs are cooled according to the invention, which cooled eggs are capable of hatching once warmed at the selected temperature according to the invention for a predetermined period of time. This way the invention provides for a method for delaying of hatching of an egg. Furthermore, the method of the invention and the batch of cooled eggs of the invention provide a method for synchronizing of hatching of a first egg and a second egg which are deposited at a first time point and at a second time point. In addition, the method of the invention and the batch of cooled eggs of the invention allow for compressing the time window for hatching of a batch of eggs which are deposited within a time frame of e.g. between 0 hours and 12 hours, to a time period of 14 hours or less.

Abstract

The present invention relates to lipid compositions derived from insects. The intrinsic chemical/physical properties of insect derived lipids limit the possibilities for widespread and large-scale use. An enzymatic process for the partial hydrolysis and transesterification of insect extracted lipids is provided. The process alters the ratio of triglyceride (TAG), diglycerides (DAG), monoglycerides (MAG) and free fatty acids (FFA) of the crude insect lipid and also results in the transesterification of fatty acids on glyceride backbone yielding a lipid composition that combines an increased dispersibility in water, a more favourable hardness profile (as a function of temperature) and a melting point slightly above ambient temperature. The compositions of the invention further have good nutritive properties as well as some interesting functional properties, e.g. anti-microbial effects. The invention relates to these enzyme-modified lipid compositions, to the methods for producing them, as well as to their uses as an ingredient in an alimentary product.
