Carrejo-Gironza Nancy, . and Ospina-Granobles Karen, . Efficiency of bioconversion of coffee pulp using Hermetia illucens (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) larvae. pp. 1-18. ISSN 1511-3701
Abstract
In this study we evaluate the capacity of Hermetia illucens (L.) to degrade coffee pulp which is a highly contaminating residue and a by-product of processing coffee beans. The larvae were fed with dietary dosages of 60 100 160 and 200 mg/larva/day of Coffea arabica (L.) Castillo variety (0.5 caffeine) until they reached pupae stage. With a dietary supply of 100 mg/larva/day the highest reduction percentage (R) on a wet basis (62.88) and efficiency of conversion of ingested food (ECI) (7.89) were achieved while with a dietary supply of 160 mg/larva/day the highest weight reduction index (WRI) in a wet basis was achieved (0.85). Larvae fed 200 mg/larva/day had the highest weight (115.9 mg) and shortest average development time (38.65 days). In this study we were able to define which dietary supplies of 160 and 200 mg/larva/day allowing for efficient bioconversion of coffee pulp.
