Abstract

The promising direction of using the black soldier fly larvae as a feed additive necessitated the use of drying to preserve their organoleptic characteristics and biological value. The following drying methods were investigated: convective drying, convective drying in the infrared field, drying in the microwave field, combined drying (convection in a vibrated bed with heating by a gas infrared generator). For a preliminary assessment of the drying parameters of the black soldier fly larvae, one-factor experiments on the drying kinetics were conducted. In the course of the experiments, the drying regimes and the rate of moisture evaporation were clarified. The moisture content of the dried material was measured over the entire drying period. The energy consumption for moisture evaporation was controlled. As a result, a rational energy-saving method for drying the black soldier fly larvae was revealed.
