Mini-review on substrate & inoculum loadings for anaerobic co-digestion of food waste
Increasing production of food waste can lead to major environmental pollution if it is disposed without proper control in many countries. Food waste can be regarded as a resource rather than unwanted discard due to its high potential for resource recovery. Anaerobic digestion of food waste has shown...

description |
Increasing production of food waste can lead to major environmental pollution if it is disposed without proper control in many countries. Food waste can be regarded as a resource rather than unwanted discard due to its high potential for resource recovery. Anaerobic digestion of food waste has shown promising potential for food waste treatment and valorisation by producing biogas as a renewable energy and digestate as fertiliser. Food waste has high biogas potential due to the presence of highly labile organic matter but this can lead to process instability. The process instability is often linked to the imbalance of process intermediates that affects the microbial community. Common parameters that are crucial for ensuring optimal metabolic activity of anaerobes includes temperature, pH, carbon-nitrogen ratio, organic loading rate, retention time and nutrient concentration. Co-digestion of food waste with other feedstocks are increasingly being practiced for better nutrient balance and reducing chances for rapid acidfication. The optimum conditions for the process has been shown to vary following different microbial inoculants and loadings of the respective substrates. This study aims to review only the effect of substrate and inoculum used during the AD of food waste, including the type of co-digested substrate, the mixing ratio, the microbial inoculant used and the substrate to inoculum ratio. |
