This study aimed to exploring the dynamic changes fatty acid composition of organic waste through Hermetia illucens larvae using a meta-analysis method. A database was created using studies that have documented different compositions of fatty acid profile substrates in Hermetia illucens. Data tabulation only involved credible international journals as indicated by Scopus indexed. A total of 11 articles were integrated into the database. The statistical analysis used the mixed model methodology. Random effects were considered in the studies, and the fatty acid substrate dose was treated as a fixed effect. The results showed that the increase C16:0, C18:0, C16:1, C18:1, C18:2, omega-3, omega-6, omega-3: omega-6 SFA, MUFA, and PUFA in substrate increased C16:0, C18:0, C16:1, C18:1, C18:2, omega-3, omega-6, omega-3:omega-6, SFA, MUFA and PUFA content on Hermetia illucens larvae (P<0.05). This study concludes that there are several fatty acids of Hermetia illucens larvae influenced by fatty acids in the substrate.
