Potentiel de valorisation des matières organiques résiduelles québécoises par la production en masse de larves de mouches soldat noires

大规模生产昆虫幼虫的“升级回收”是一个切实可行的机会，可以以可持续和环保的方式为废弃的有机材料增加价值。幼虫对各种有机废物有贪婪的胃口，生物产品和市场是多种多样的。一旦转化，幼虫是蛋白质、油、堆肥和其他提取物（几丁质、酶、抗生素）的来源，对农业食品、医疗、药理或能源市场有很大的兴趣。尽管工业潜力巨大，但加拿大中部/东部的工业努力有限。生物工艺（苍蝇幼虫对废物的生物转化）的实施将取决于我们确定适合当地条件的最佳生产模式的能力，以提供足够数量和具有竞争力价格的可靠质量苍蝇产品。我们的项目旨在加入拉瓦尔大学（加拿大饲料和食品研究的领导者），魁北克公司SANIMAX（北美农业食品残渣回收的领导者）和荷兰公司PROTIX（大规模苍蝇饲养的世界领导者）的共同努力：1)继续与加拿大食品检验局（CFIA）进行讨论，以评估基于苍蝇的食品的安全性和有效性，并建立导致这些产品在加拿大批准和销售的监管框架；2)描述SANIMAX从魁北克食品零售商收集的残留有机材料的回收潜力；3)安装营养工具来测量幼虫的营养物质消化率并优化工艺；3)根据魁北克的实际情况调整生产方案（PROTIX） （SANIMAX）。在培养高素质人才的同时，这个为期三年的项目将定期向工业界、科学界和公众传递知识。

The "upcycling" by the mass production of insect larvae is a tangible opportunity to add value to waste organic materials in a sustainable and eco-friendly way. The larvae have a voracious appetite for a wide range of organic waste, and bio-products and markets are diverse. Once transformed, larvae are a source of protein, oil, compost and other extracts (chitin, enzymes, antibiotics) that are of great interest for the agri-food, medical, pharmacological or energy markets. Despite a significant industrial potential, industrial efforts in central/eastern Canada have been limited. The implementation of the bioprocess (bioconversion of waste material by fly larvae) will depend on our ability to identify the best model of production suiting local conditions to provide reliable quality fly products in sufficient volume and at competitive prices.Our project aims to join the concerted efforts of the Université Laval (Canadian research leader in feed and food), the Quebec company SANIMAX (North American leader in the recycling of agro-food residuals) and the Netherlands company PROTIX (world leader in mass-fly rearing) to: 1) Continue the discussion with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) for the evaluation of the safety and effectiveness of flies based foods and the establishment of a regulatory framework leading to the approval and marketing of these products in Canada; 2) characterize the potential for recovery of residual organic materials collected from Quebec food retailers by SANIMAX ; 3 ) Mount nutritional tools to measure nutrient digestibility in larvae and optimization of processes , and 3 ) Adapt production protocols ( PROTIX ) to the Quebec reality ( SANIMAX ) .While training highly qualified personnel, this three-year project will regularly transfer knowledge to the industry, the scientific community and the general public.
