Fermentation processing of food waste.

Lactic acid fermentation of food waste for swine feed.

This study was conducted to determine the effects of lactic acid bacteria (LAB, Lactobacillus salivarius) inoculation on the microbial, physical and chemical properties of food waste mixture (FWM) stored at ambient temperature (25 degrees C) for 10 and 30 days. A complete pig diet including restaurant food waste, bakery by-product, barley and wheat bran, and broiler poultry litter was amended w...

6 Fermentation and EnzymeTechnologies in Food Processing

Fermentation is a microbial biotechnology whereby natural renewable substrates are converted to value-added products such as enzymes, organic acids, alcohols, polymers, and more. Fermentation end-products such as ethanol and lactic acid are proton sinks, whereby NADH is recycled to NAD, which allows the cell to continue producing energy via glycolysis by substrate-level phosphorylation. Thus, m...

Glucoamylase production from food waste by solid state fermentation and its evaluation in the hydrolysis of domestic food waste

Food waste and food processing waste for biohydrogen production: a review.

Food waste and food processing wastes which are abundant in nature and rich in carbon content can be attractive renewable substrates for sustainable biohydrogen production due to wide economic prospects in industries. Many studies utilizing common food wastes such as dining hall or restaurant waste and wastes generated from food processing industries have shown good percentages of hydrogen in g...

Hydrothermal Liquefaction of Food Waste and Model Food Waste Compounds

Solid waste is generated at a rate of more than 4 lb per person per day. A significant portion of the non-recyclable waste is food waste, with high water content and low energy density. While most thermochemical conversion processes require a relatively dry feedstock, hydrothermal liquefaction uses subcritical water as the reaction medium and is therefore compatible with high-moisture feedstock...
