    The Processes Editorial Office retracts the article titled “A Review on Insights for Green Production of Unconventional Protein and Energy Sources Derived from the Larval Biomass of Black Soldier Fly” [1], cited above. Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the Editorial Office relating to major scientific errors and the overall validity of the findings presented within this review [1]. Adhering to our complaints procedure, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office and Editorial Board that confirmed that a major scientific error had occurred in the preparation of this review [1]. As a result, the Editorial Board determined that the findings could not be relied upon and decided to retract this publication as per MDPI’s retraction policy (https://www.mdpi.com/ethics#_bookmark30), and in line with the committee on Publication Ethics retraction guideline (https://publicationethics.org/retraction-guidelines). This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Processes. The authors did not agree to this retraction.

    The purpose of this review is to reveal the lipid and protein contents in black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) for the sustainable production of protein and energy sources. It has been observed from studies in the literature that the larval lipid and protein contents vary with the rearing conditions as well as the downstream processing employed. The homogenous, heterogenous and microbial-treated substrates via fermentation are used to rear BSFL and are compared in this review for the simultaneous production of larval protein and biodiesel. Moreover, the best moisture content and the aeration rate of larval feeding substrates are also reported in this review to enhance the growth of BSFL. As the downstream process after harvesting starts with larval inactivation, various related methods have also been reviewed in relation to its impact on the quality/quantity of larval protein and lipids. Subsequently, the other downstream processes, namely, extraction and transesterification to biodiesel, are finally epitomized from the literature to provide a comprehensive review for the production of unconventional protein and lipid sources from BSFL feedstock. Incontrovertibly, the review accentuates the great potential use of BSFL biomass as a green source of protein and lipids for energy production in the form of biodiesel. The traditional protein and energy sources, preponderantly fishmeal, are unsustainable naturally, pressingly calling for immediate substitutions to cater for the rising demands. Accordingly, this review stresses the benefits of using BSFL biomass in detailing its production from upstream all the way to downstream processes which are green and economical at the same time.
