Slurry Phase Decomposition of Food Waste by Using Various Microorganisms

Synergistic Effects of Codigesting Preprocessed Food Waste Slurry

Anaerobic digestion is the most widely used technology to produce biogas such as methane and hydrogen from the decomposition of organic compounds. The effectiveness of the process depends on the stability of the consecutive reactions i.e. hydrolysis, acidification, acetogenesis, and methanogenesis. The process is widely used in sludge treatment for stabilization and production of methane gas. D...

Production of Biogas by Using Food Waste

The current work focuses on the generating bio-gas from food waste produced by Mahendra Engineering College Canteen using anaerobic digestion process. Attempts have been made to optimize various parameters in order to determine the most favorable recipe for maximum biogas production from the digested food waste. The biogas yields have been determined using batch anaerobic thermophilic digestion...

Efficacy of ozonated water against various food-related microorganisms.

The antimicrobial effects of ozonated water in a recirculating concurrent reactor were evaluated against four gram-positive and four gram-negative bacteria, two yeasts, and spores of Aspergillus niger. More than 5 log units each of Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli cells were killed instantaneously in ozonated water with or without addition of 20 ppm of soluble starch (SS). In ozonate...
