Panennews.com — Researchers from the School of Life Sciences and Technology at the Bandung Institute of Technology (SITH ITB) have recently succeeded in developing a peptone based on local biomass from black soldier fly (BSF) larvae. This ingenious innovation aims to reduce Indonesia's dependence on imported peptone while presenting a sustainable solution in organic waste processing. The product is the result of research titled "Production of Protein Hydrolysate from Black Soldier Fly as an Alternative to Commercial Peptone" led by Dr. Muhammad Yusuf Abduh from the Agrotechnology and Bioproduct Technology Expertise Group at SITH ITB, involving students and alumni. This development is expected to benefit microbiology laboratories, biotechnology industry players, organic fertilizer producers, and the community by reducing organic waste that can be utilized as feed for BSF larvae. Peptone is an important nutrient source used as a growth medium for microbes in laboratory activities ...
