Fat

Soldier fly fat is extracted from larvae dried through a degreasing process whereby the lipid component is separated from the protein component. BSF fat is rich in lauric acid, or dodecanoic acid, which makes it valuable to the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and animal feed industries because of its antibacterial, soothing and highly digestible properties.

Chitosan

The exuviae of flies – the casings that the insects leave behind after the final stage of metamorphosis from pupa to adult – are rich in chitin, a structural aminopolysaccharide that can be converted to chitosan through a process of deacetylation.
