MODIFIED BLACK SOLDIER FLY LARVAE OIL WITH MODIFIED LAURIC ACID FOR TREATMENT AGAINST BIOFILM FORMATION AND MICROORGANISM GROWTH
Methods, formulations and production systems are provided. Methods comprise extracting black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) oil by processing BSFL, modifying the BSFL oil into modified BSFL (MBSFL) oil by converting triglycerides in the BSFL oil to medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs) in the form of monoglycerides, fatty acid salts and/or free fatty acids, e.g., by saponification and/or hydrolysis, and applying the MBSFL oil to suppress biofilm development and/or microorganism growth (e.g., of Gram-positive and/or Gram-negative bacteria, fungi and possibly viruses). Applications of the MBSFL oil include dermal and/or oral applications, topical therapy, as well as applications to medical equipment and industrial applications.

A Biological Control Agent (BCA) system comprising processed parasitized mealybug mummies is disclosed. The processed and modified parasitized mealybug mummies are essentially devoid of their limbs and waxy covering. In the novel BCA system the modified parasitized mealybug mummies are processed in a manner that strips off their waxy covering and detaches their limbs without impacting on their viability as a host for parasitoid pupae. The modified parasitized mealybug mummies of the BCA system are encased in specially adapted packaging for delivering and distributing the modified parasitized mealybug mummies to plants with mealybug infestations. A method of preparing and storing the modified parasitized mealybug mummies as a BCA is also presented.

Various features may enhance supporting the natural enemies' population prior and/or parallel to the occurrence of the pest prey such as olfactory and/or visual cues to the feeding elements as well as sheltering elements such as artificial domatia on the surface of the mechanical support - to enhance biological pest control. Moreover, methods for preparing decapsulated Artemia cysts as feed for predatory arthropods are provided.
