Process engineering and scale-up of an alkaline protease from Bacillus velezensis to enhance black soldier fly bioconversion

Key Points

• Enhanced bioconversion was observed, indicating substantial improvements in process efficiency.
• The specific rate of bioconversion increased by 30% with the use of alkaline protease.
• Analysis focused on the scale-up of the enzyme production process to optimize bioconversion in a controlled setting.
• This work highlights potential benefits for sustainable waste management and protein production.
