Solid-state fermentation of hemp waste: enhancing the performance of Hermetia illucens larvae and altering the composition of hemp secondary metabolites by Wael Yakti, Nadja Förster, Marcus Müller, Sebastian Beck, Simon Schulz, Inga Mewis, Christian Ulrichs

“…Fermenting the substrate with Ganoderma lucidum can lead to an increase in the BSFL dry yield (4.54 g) compared to the untreated substrate (2.86 g), likely due to enhancing carbon accessibility in the substrate. SSF using Trichoderma reesei increased the cannabidiol and ∆9-tetrahydrocannabinol mass fractions in the substrate, and consequently in the produced BSFL biomass, while decreasing the amounts of acidic cannabinoids. …”
