Abstract

This paper was not presented at the conference.

Functional oils are a type of oil that is designed or modified to provide additional health or nutritional benefits on top of the oil's basic function. This research aimed to show the differences in the quality of functional and conventional Hermetia illucens oil with different feed sources. This research used wo sources of Hermetia illucens from with household waste as a substrate (MS) and Hermetia illucens from a substrate containing functional fatty acids (MF). The design used was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 2 treatments and 4 replications. The parameters measured were initial crude fat (CF), final CF, remaining CF, oil yield and fatty acid. The significance of an effect is declared if the p-value <0.05. The results showed that Hermetia illucens MF produced initial CF, and produced higher oil compared to conventional substrate (P<0.05), but did not show the effect (P>0.1) of final CF and remaining CF. Differences in substrate type influenced the amount of fatty acids C12:0, C14:0, C18:0, C18:1, C18:3, SFA, MUFA, and PUFA (P<0.05). The conclusion of this research is that the administration of MF substrate can increase the functional fatty acids in Hermetia illucens compared to conventional substrates.
