Hilucia™, a portmanteau of Hermetia illucens, the scientific name of the Black Soldier Fly, is Innovafeed’s brand for sustainable and performant ingredients for animal and plant nutrition. It represents the convergence of Innovafeed’s industrial technology combined with the natural advantages of an incredible insect, culminating in performance, sustainability, and precision.
Hilucia™ Oil constitutes a natural and local source of lauric acid for technical applications.
Insects represent a competitive, sustainable and local alternative that addresses oleochemical industrial players’ needs without relying on palm and coconut oil sources.
Offering balanced fatty acid profiles rich in lauric acid (C12) and myristic acids (C14) it creates an opportunity to produce oil chemical derivatives like fames, esters, fatty acids and alcohols without using palm or coconut sources aligning with both yield production needs and environmental responsibility.
Our Hilucia™ Oil is a alternative to PKO (Palm Kernel Oil) and CNO (Crude Coconut Oil), produced in Europe with 0 impact on deforestation, bringing sovereignty and sustainability.
Hilucia™ ingredients offer a combination of functional, sustainable, local and performant benefits. Unlocked via Innovafeed’s breakthrough technology deployed through industrial symbiosis.
Our Hilucia™ Oil can be used as oil derivatives for oleochemical applications to produce fatty acids, esthers, methyl esthers, mid cut alcohols for various finished goods like sustainable aviation fuels, surfactants and cleaning products.
