Physical-chemical properties modification of hermetia illucens larvae oil and diesel fuel for the internal combustion engines application

The use of insects as a biofuel feedstock has received limited research, and little is known about the fuel characteristics of insect biofuel. Fuel properties characterization can guide researchers focused on renewable fuel for the internal combustion engine. Therefore, this investigation focused on...
